More #Psyche images of #Mars, now with NASA's own processing (but further improved in contrast here) from https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-psyche-mission-aces-mars-flyby-targets-metal-rich-asteroid/ - in which we also learn that the magnetometer may have seen the bow shock and that the #GravityAssist went well: with the ion engine on again the spacecraft should reach the asteroid Psyche in August 2029.

And another #Psyche #Mars image from the #GravityAssist, just in as https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/psyche_images/6658/ - see also https://bsky.app/profile/thomasappere.bsky.social/post/3mm2lwu6qrk23 for a great mosaic from images appearing previously on https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/psyche-raw-images/

Two more #Psyche pictures from the #Mars #GravityAssist two days ago - https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/psyche-raw-images/ is taking off, but a lot of contrast-boosting remains necessary.

Yay, the #Mars close-up images taken by the #Psyche spacecraft during its #GravityAssist two days ago have begun to appear on https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/psyche-raw-images/ - severe image processing required ...

Moments ago #Psyche came closest to #Mars during its #GravityAssist - here is the planet yesterday still as a crescent, in fan processing of the raw images https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/psyche-raw-images/ (full caption and credit in ALT).

#slingshot #gravityassist Heard of Michael Minovitch? Me neither, but I’m glad this sets the record straight. What a great read this is, and his discovery’s something we clearly take for granted. Thanks to the BBC for such a great article.

In conclusion, PIPL has a GDPR-like face but also a neoliberal heart. The resemblance to the GDPR is thus elusive and distracting insofar as it does not lead to harmonisation/interoperability, hence casting doubts on the existence of the Brussels Effect in China.
