ESA’s BepiColombo mission nears a major turning point on its Mercury approach.
The European Space Agency’s (ESA) BepiColombo mission to the planet Mercury faces its most critical manoeuvre yet, as a pair of probes drop off the mothership on their way to one of the solar system’s most extreme places.

A few hours ago, the Chinese Zhuque-3 Y2 rocket blasted off from the Dongfeng commercial area, carrying the Honghu-03 satellite. The second stage successfully reached orbit with payload separation, achieving a successful primary mission on this rocket's second flight, the first to deploy a real satellite into orbit. A goal for LandSpace, the company that developed the rocket, was to land the first stage, which was successful.

Astronomers Discover a Brand-New Type of Object: Part Black Hole, Part Star
Credit: Jose-Luis Olivares/MIT At the cosmic dawn, the universe was sprinkled with giant black holes—monstrosities so huge that scientists are still struggling to explain how they could have even existed. The answer may lie in a never-before-seen object from this cosmic era. In a paper published today in Nature, astronomers report the discovery of an extremely unusual, bright spot of red from the early universe. Externally, it looks like an enormous star about the size of the entire solar […] -

[Focus on the #EnVision mission] Why have #Venus and Earth evolved so differently? This is the question to be answered by the EnVision #SpaceMission of the European Space Agency - ESA, scheduled for launch in 2031.
To this end, the European #probe will carry several instruments - including an imaging #spectrometer, to which IRAP staff are contributing. Observations will be made in the UV and IR domains, in order to monitor temporal variations in #surface temperature and gas concentrations within the #atmosphere - and thus gain a better understanding of interactions between the Venusian atmosphere and surface.

[Focus sur la mission #EnVision] Pourquoi #Vénus et la Terre ont-elles évolué si différemment ? Telle est la question à laquelle devra répondre la #MissionSpatiale EnVision de l' European Space Agency - ESA dont le lancement est prévu pour 2031.
A cet effet, la #sonde européenne embarquera plusieurs instruments - un #spectromètre imageur notamment, auquel contribuent les personnels de l'IRAP. Des #observations seront effectuées dans les domaines UV et IR afin de suivre les variations temporelles de la température de #surface et des concentrations de gaz au sein de l'#atmosphère - et donc, de mieux comprendre les interactions entre l'atmosphère et la surface vénusiennes.

[#EnVision: en route to #Venus 👍] On Tuesday, the European Space Agency - ESA awarded Thales Alenia Space a contract to build the EnVision probe destined for Venus. The onboard instruments will study the #planet's inner core, mantle and atmosphere, as well as their interactions, with unrivalled precision. Objective: to understand a planet's evolution towards #habitability - or uninhabitability.
