  2. 🛰️☄️ Il y a 40 ans, le 13 mars 1986, la mission #Giotto entrait dans l'histoire comme première mission d'exploration spatiale lointaine de l'ESA, effectuant le premier survol rapproché d'une comète : #Halley.
    Giotto est le précurseur à l'inoubliable mission Rosetta.
    Giotto a renvoyé plus de 2 000 images et données provenant de ses instruments scientifiques, enrichissant nos connaissances sur les comètes et l'origine du Système Solaire. Ses images du noyau ont confirmé sa forme allongée, et non sphérique, et sa composition majoritairement constituée de poussière et de glace, et non l'inverse. La poussière découverte par Giotto était organique et riche en éléments essentiels à la vie.
    La mission initialement prévue pour durer quelques mois seulement s'est transformée en une « odyssée » de 7 ans. Giotto a été réactivé en 1990 pour un survol de la comète Grigg-Skjellerup, avec un passage au plus près à environ 200 km le 10 juillet 1992.
    L'ESA vient d'ouvrir les archives de la mission : historicalarchives.esa.int/gio

  3. 40 years ago tonight the #Giotto spacecraft passed the nucleus of #comet #Halley at great speed: the documentary youtube.com/watch?v=eI-W8ss4x5I from back then - also at esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/ with bonus material - tells the story well. A big special issue of the ESA Bulletin about the mission is at esamultimedia.esa.int/multimed and other historical material like some photos is linked from historicalarchives.esa.int/gio while a recording of the BBC's live coverage is at youtube.com/watch?v=QxDMdH4uzxI

  4. Sister Giotto

    The Sagrada, Sunday, December 14 at 04:00 PM MST

    A Gallery of Vintage Design on Instagram: "New exhibit: the work of Giotto Moots In the 1960s Moots brought the sacred arts to Albuquerque, NM. After working as an art school dean in Italy through the mid century she set her heart on the deserts of the American Southwest. By working with famed architect Antoine Predock to create artist residences and a hundful of Domican nuns to handmake thousands of adobe bricks to build Our Lady of Guadalupe chapel, a vibrant art school campus emerged. The location, now called Patio Escondido is a registered historic site. Filled with community, intention and care, the spirit of Sagrada Art Studio lives on. We are delighted to celebrate a homecoming. Join us for a special showcase of Giottos handcarved blockprint artwork and understand the iconography that inspired her.

  5. This is rather special to me: #Comet #Halley is on its way back to earth!

    My physics teacher was part of the team that calculated the trajectory of the #Giotto probe (that took colourful pictures of Halley in 1986). And I decided back then that I'd have a look at Halley again in 2061 🤞🤞
