@sarahrosewatson.bsky.social congratulations Dr Watson! Very well deserved.
Shaun the Sheep has arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center and is at the press site, ready to cheer on his fellow astronauts for #Artemis II 🚀🐑 From Mossy Bottom in Europe to the United States - he wouldn’t miss this for the world!

☀️🌑🛰️ 2026: The year we arrive at Mercury! After almost 8 years since its launch in 2018, BepiColombo is entering its most critical phase yet. It is about to end its interplanetary phase and initiate its Mercury approach.
Space adventurers Bepi, Mio and MTM have just one year to go until they reach Mercury. What have they been up to since their journey began in 2018? Watch episode 2 of 'The epic adventures of BepiColombo' here 👉 youtu.be/41EdqhlH3PQ 👀 🔭 #planetsci #BepiColombo

Hear from mission scientist Colin Snodgrass in his interview with @earthskyscience.bsky.social talking all things Comet Interceptor 🚀☄️
EarthSky@earthskyscience.bsky.social · last yr.It seems we won't send a #spacecraft out to take a closer look at 3I/ATLAS because it would take too long to get such a mission ready to #launch. But what if we "parked" a spacecraft out in orbit, primed to chase after exciting objects like 3I/ATLAS as soon as we spot them? buff.ly/KER1qn7 📸 ESA.

We had an exciting time at ESA ESOC yesterday watching these beautiful images arrive. These already amazing views are from engineering monitoring cameras;the science cameras will give us far better images after arrival in orbit in late 2026. #BepiColombo #planetaryscience www.esa.int/Science_Expl...
