The @ESAGaia mission has delivered the best Milky Way maps to date and taken its last starlight before spacecraft retirement.
These new Gaia maps are the best reconstructed views of how our Milky Way galaxy might look to an outside observer. They show us our place in the Universe like no other mission has before👇

The @ESA_Euclid space mission has released the first piece of its great map of the Universe, showing the capabilities of the spacecraft’s massive optical camera which was designed and built by a team led by @MSSLSpaceLab @uclmaps researchers ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/oct/firs…
ALT On the left of the image, Euclid captured two galaxies (called ESO 364-G035 and G036) that are interacting with each other, 420 million light-years from us. On the right of the image, galaxy cluster Abell 3381 is visible, 678 million light-years away from us.
ALT this image, a single spiral galaxy (called ESO 364-G036) is visible in great detail, 420 million light-years from us. This image shows 0.0003% of the initial image of 208 gigapixels, that is 1/330 000 of the area of the main Euclid mosaic.
ALT This patch of the Southern Sky shows numerous stars in our own Milky Way, and many galaxies beyond.

Today we release the first 1% of @ESAEuclid's cosmic map and it's jaw dropping! 😮
In just two weeks our #DarkUniverse 🕵️detective observed around 100 million sources: stars in our Milky Way and galaxies beyond.

How do we look for planets that could support life? 🌍✨
Angharad Weeks, a PhD student at the @MSSLSpaceLab, shares how scientists search for planets around other stars. By studying dips in a star’s brightness or its gravitational wobble, we can detect planets, and maybe even ones that could support life! 🌌

The @esa planet-hunting mission Plato is a step closer to launch after a team led by Prof Alan Smith @MSSLSpaceLab @uclmaps delivered electronics for 24 of the satellite's cameras. The electronics will read the content of 80 million pixels per camera ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/sep/mile…

Beautiful new animation of the Rosalind Franklin @ESA_ExoMars rover working on Mars. Can’t wait for 2028 - go Rosalind!
Sometimes, to get to the heart of the matter, you need to dig deeper.

With the reentry complete, we're hoping to learn more soon about the results of an airborne observation experiment. With the plane three hours from land, we wait patiently for further information.
We’ll be back tomorrow with an update. More info via our blog 👉 blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/…
For now, thank you for following and goodnight!
