SUMMARY:Solar Orbiter
DESCRIPTION:De Solar Orbiter (SOLO) is een ruimtemissie van de Europese Ruimtevaartorganisatie (ESA) en de Amerikaanse Ruimtevaartorganisatie (NASA)\, het doel is om een observatiesatelliet in een baan rond de Zon te brengen. \nDe onbemande ruimtesonde werd op 10 februari 2020\, om 4:03 (UTC) met een Atlas V-411-raket vanaf lanceercomplex SLC-41 op Cape Canaveral AFS gelanceerd. Vanaf een elliptische baan observeert de Solar Orbiter de Zon op dichte afstand\, tot maar 0\,22 AU (ongeveer een vijfde van de afstand tussen de zon en de Aarde)\, ofwel 48 keer de straal van de Zon. Dit maakt het mogelijk om foto’s te nemen van de zon op hogere resolutie dan ooit tevoren. Vooral de poolregio’s van de Zon zijn met de satelliet veel beter te zien dan vanaf de Aarde. Naast het fotograferen\, observeren en beter in kaart brengen van de Zon doet de ruimtesonde ook onderzoek naar de heliosfeer\, het gebied rond de Zon waar de zonnewind overheerst. De ruimtesonde wordt voortgedreven door een ionenmotor (Solar Electric Primary Propulsion). Deze zet met behulp van zonnepanelen zonlicht om in elektriciteit. Hiermee worden gasatomen elektrisch geladen. Als deze het ruimtevaartuig verlaten stuwen ze door hun reactiekracht het ruimtevaartuig voort. Dit betrekkelijk nieuwe type aandrijving werd met succes getest door de SMART-1\, een observatiesatelliet van ESA die van 2003 tot 2006 in een baan rond de Maan draaide. De Solar Orbiter is de opvolger van twee eerdere ruimtesondes naar de Zon\, de Ulysses (gelanceerd in 1990) en de SOHO (gelanceerd in 1995). Het oorspronkelijke besluit tot de Solar Orbiter-missie werd in 2001 genomen.[2] Na enkele jaren van voorbereidend onderzoek kreeg het programma in 2007 het groene licht voor de formele definitiefase. De Solar Orbiter is onderdeel van het HELEX (Heliophysics Explorers)-onderzoeksprogramma\, samen met de Parker Solar Probe van NASA die in augustus 2018 gelanceerd is en de Zon nog veel dichter benadert dan de Solar Orbiter\, tot maar 9 keer de straal van de Zon. NASA werkt ook mee aan de Solar Orbiter: de organisatie was verantwoordelijk voor de boeking van de Atlas V-lanceerraket en leverde daarnaast ook instrumenten. \nWhy Solar Orbiter is angling towards the Sun’s poles\, klik op afbeelding voor vergroting of hier voor info\n\nLinks:\nSolar Orbiter \nSolar Orbiter gets world-first views of the Sun’s poles

SUMMARY:#UnfoldTheUniverse #JWST James Webb Space Telescope / Henrietta Leavitt Teleskop
DESCRIPTION:The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or “Webb” / called Henrietta Leavitt Teleskop by german scientists Harald Lesch and Josef M. Gaßner) is a space telescope to succeed the Hubble Space Telescope as NASA’s flagship astrophysics mission. \nThe JWST will provide improved infrared resolution and sensitivity over Hubble\, and will enable a broad range of investigations across the fields of astronomy and cosmology\, including observing some of the most distant events and objects in the universe\, such as the formation of the first galaxies. The primary mirror of the JWST\, the Optical Telescope Element\, is composed of eighteen 1.32 metres hexagonal mirror segments made of gold-plated beryllium which combine to create a 6.5 metres diameter mirror that is considerably larger than the Hubble’s 2.4 metres mirror. Unlike the Hubble\, which observes in the near ultraviolet\, visible\, and near infrared (0.1 to 1 μm) spectra\, the JWST will observe in a lower frequency range\, from long-wavelength visible light through mid-infrared (0.6 to 28.3 μm)\, which will allow it to observe high redshift objects that are too old and too distant for the Hubble to observe. \nThe telescope must be kept very cold in order to observe in the infrared without interference\, so it will be deployed in space near the Earth–Sun L2 Lagrangian point\, and a large sunshield made of silicon-coated and aluminium-coated Kapton will keep its mirror and instruments below 50 Kelvin (K). The JWST is being developed by NASA — with significant contributions from the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency — and is named for James E. Webb\, who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 and played an integral role in the Apollo program. The prime contractor is Northrop Grumman. Development began in 1996 for a launch that was initially planned for 2007 and a 500-million-dollar budget\, but the project has had numerous delays and cost overruns\, and underwent a major redesign in 2005. The JWST’s construction was completed in late 2016\, after which its extensive testing phase began. The launch date was Dec. 25\, 2021. \n\nLinks:\nJames Webb Space Telescope \nJames Webb Space Telescope -ESA \nWebb Home \nWebb Space Telescope \nNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope – Flickr \nJADES will go deeper than the Hubble Deep Fields \nJames Webb Space Telescope / Henrietta Leavitt Teleskop – playlist \nNASA’s Webb In Full Focus\, Ready for Instrument Commissioning \nNieuwe ruimtetelescoop kijkt naar het begin van de tijd – of net ietsje later \nWebb is now orbiting L2 \nPhotons Received: Webb Sees Its First Star – 18 Times \nNASA emails reveal internal discussions over calls to rename James Webb Space Telescope: report \nFirst Images From NASA’s Webb Space Telescope Coming Soon \nNo\, the Big Bang theory is not ‘broken.’ Here’s how we know \nWebb Looks for Fomalhaut’s Asteroid Belt and Finds Much More \nJames Webb spot monsterachtige waterpluim op Enceladus \nWebb Space Telescope’s First Year of Science Celebration \nWebb Discovers Methane\, Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere of K2-18 b \nNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (Flickr) \nThe (Unofficial) JWST Exoplanet Dashboard \nJWST facing potential cuts to its operational budget \nStrongest hints yet of biological activity outside the solar system / New Constraints on DMS and DMDS in the Atmosphere of K2-18 b from JWST MIRI – publication

SUMMARY:Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission
DESCRIPTION:The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission is a satellite altimeter jointly developed and operated by NASA and CNES\, the French space agency\, in partnership with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and UK Space Agency (UKSA). \nThe objectives of the mission are to make the first global survey of the Earth’s surface water\, to observe the fine details of the ocean surface topography\, and to measure how terrestrial surface water bodies change over time. While past satellite missions like the Jason series altimeters (TOPEX/Poseidon\, Jason-1\, Jason-2\, Jason-3) have provided variation in river and lake water surface elevations at select locations\, SWOT will provide the first truly global observations of changing water levels\, stream slopes\, and inundation extents in rivers\, lakes\, and floodplains. In the world’s oceans\, SWOT will observe ocean circulation at unprecedented scales of 15–25 km (9.3–15.5 mi)\, approximately an order of magnitude finer than current satellites. Because it uses wide-swath altimetry technology\, SWOT will almost completely observe the world’s oceans and freshwater bodies with repeated high-resolution elevation measurements\, allowing observations of variations. \nLinks:\nSurface Water and Ocean Topography at NASA.gov \nOcean Surface Topography from Space at NASA.gov \nCnes project Library at CNES.fr \nAVISO+ portal for SWOT

SUMMARY:JUpiter ICy moons Explorer
DESCRIPTION:The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) is an interplanetary spacecraft in development by the European Space Agency (ESA) with Airbus Defence and Space as the main contractor. \nThe mission will study three of Jupiter‘s Galilean moons: Ganymede\, Callisto\, and Europa\, all of which are thought to have significant bodies of liquid water beneath their surfaces\, making them potentially habitable environments. The mission is not focused on volcanically active Io\, a non-icy moon. The spacecraft launched on 14 April 2023 at 12:14 UTC and will reach Jupiter in July 2031 after four gravity assists and eight years of travel. In December 2034\, the spacecraft will enter orbit around Ganymede for its close up science mission\, becoming the first spacecraft to orbit a moon other than the Moon of Earth. The selection of this mission for the L1 launch slot of ESA’s Cosmic Vision science programme was announced on 2 May 2012. Its period of operations will overlap with NASA‘s Europa Clipper mission\, launching in 2024. \n\n\nNASA’s Juno Is Getting Ever Closer to Jupiter’s Moon Io Links:\nESA’s JUICE \nJuice \nAgenda – JUpiter ICy moons Explorer : launch / Agenda – JUpiter ICy moons Explorer : launch 2nd attempt \nJuice pre-launch press briefing \nHow to follow the Juice launch live

SUMMARY:Cosmic Vision : Euclid space telescope / Euclides
DESCRIPTION:Euclid is a visible to near-infrared space telescope developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Euclid Consortium\, the objective of the Euclid mission is to better understand dark energy and dark matter by accurately measuring the acceleration of the universe. \nTo achieve this\, the Korsch-type telescope will measure the shapes of galaxies at varying distances from Earth and investigate the relationship between distance and redshift. Dark energy is generally accepted as contributing to the increased acceleration of the expanding universe\, so understanding this relationship will help to refine how physicists and astrophysicists understand it. Euclid’s mission advances and complements ESA’s Planck telescope (2009 to 2013). The mission is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. Euclid is a medium-class (“M-class”) mission and is part of the Cosmic Vision campaign of ESA’s Science Programme. This class of missions have an ESA budget cap at around €500 million. Euclid was chosen in October 2011 together with Solar Orbiter\, out of several competing missions. Prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, the launch was scheduled on a Soyuz ST-B in 2023; following the invasion\, Euclid will instead be launched on a Falcon 9 Block 5 on 1 July 2023. \nLinks:\nEuclid \nHow to follow the Euclid launch live \nRuimtetelescoop Euclid wil uitvinden waar het heelal van gemaakt is \nEuclid test images tease of riches to come \nEuclid ‘dark universe’ telescope team will unveil new full-color images today (May 23) \nZoom into the first page of ESA Euclid’s great cosmic atlas \nSpace Warps – ESA Euclid / Euclid Galaxy Zoo – help us classify the shapes of galaxies

SUMMARY:Heliophysics Big Year
DESCRIPTION:The Heliophysics Big Year is a global celebration of solar science and the Sun’s influence on Earth and the entire solar system. \nDuring the Heliophysics Big Year\, you will have the opportunity to participate in many solar science events such as watching solar eclipses\, experiencing an aurora\, participating in citizen science projects\, and other fun Sun-related activities. Heliophysics is the study of our star and how it interacts with everything in our solar system. The “Big Year” is a concept that originated with citizen scientists in the bird-watching community. During their Big Year\, birders attempt to observe and study as many bird species as possible during a calendar year\, and we are challenging you to do the same with our Sun. \nLinks:\nThe Heliophysics Big Year \nBig Year

SUMMARY:T Coronae Borealis : Nova Explosion 2024
DESCRIPTION:Star system T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) located 3\,000 light-years away from Earth\, is predicted to\nbecome visible to the unaided eye soon. \nThis could be a once-in-a-lifetime viewing opportunity as the nova ouburst only occurs about every 80 years. T CrB\, last exploded in 1946 and astronomers believe it will do so again between February and September 2024. The star system\, normally magnitude +10\, which is far too dim to see with the unaided eye\, will jump to magnitude +2 during the event. This will be of similar brightness to the North Star\, Polaris. Once its brightness peaks\, it should be visible to the unaided eye for several days and just over a week with binoculars before it dims again\, possibly for another 80 years. As we wait for the nova\, become familiar with the constellation Corona Borealis\, or the Northern Crown — a small\, semicircular arc near Bootes and Hercules. This is where the outburst will appear as a “new” bright star. This recurring nova is only one of five in our galaxy. This happens because T CrB is a binary system with a white dwarf and red giant. The stars are close enough that as the red giant becomes unstable from its increasing temperature and pressure and begins ejecting its outer layers\, the white dwarf collects that matter onto its surface. The shallow dense atmosphere of the white dwarf eventually heats enough to cause a runaway thermonuclear reaction – which produces the nova we see from Earth. \nLinks:\nView Nova Explosion\, ‘New’ Star in Northern Crown

SUMMARY:Plankton\, Aerosol\, Cloud\, ocean Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Plankton\, Aerosol\, Cloud\, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) is a NASA Earth-observing satellite mission that will continue and advance observations of global ocean color\, biogeochemistry\, and ecology\, as well as the carbon cycle\, aerosols and clouds. \nPACE will be used to identify the extent and duration of phytoplankton blooms and improve understanding of air quality. These and other uses of PACE data will benefit the economy and society\, especially sectors that rely on water quality\, fisheries and food security. After being proposed for cancellation under President Trump’s FY 2018 budget\, it was restored by Congress. The PACE project is managed by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The main instrument and bus were designed and built at Goddard Space Flight Center. On 4 February 2020\, NASA announced the selection of SpaceX to launch PACE on a Falcon 9\, at a total cost to NASA of US$80.4 million\, including the launch service and other mission-related costs. The total cost of the mission is $964 million\, which includes spacecraft construction\, launch\, and operations. PACE successfully launched on 8 February 2024 at 07:33. \nLinks:\nPACE

SUMMARY:Dichter bij het Zwarte Gat - tentoonstelling
DESCRIPTION:Zwarte Gaten: Mysterieuze plekken in de kosmos\, die alles opslokken en waar niets\, zelfs licht niet\, uit ontsnappen kan. \nHet zijn misschien wel de spannendste fenomenen van het heelal\, waar ook de wetenschappers nog lang niet alles van begrijpen. Iedereen heeft van zwarte gaten gehoord en heeft er wel een beeld bij. De spannende\, extreme eigenschappen van deze plekken zijn inspiratie geweest voor tal van verhalen\, films en games. Er wordt al decennialang onderzoek naar gedaan en de eerste afbeelding van een zwart gat staat nog vers in het geheugen gegrift. Maar wat zijn zwarte gaten dan eigenlijk?  Zijn ze echt gevaarlijk? Moeten we zwarte gaten vrezen? Is een zwart gat wel een gat? In de nieuwe tentoonstelling van Rijksmuseum Boerhaave word je stapsgewijs door deze boeiende materie geloodst\, zodat je aan het einde van je bezoek iets dichter bij het zwarte gat bent gekomen. In de tentoonstelling zijn bijzondere objecten en topstukken te zien\, zowel uit de eigen collectie van het museum als bruiklenen van onder meer Roger Penrose persoonlijk\, het Rijksmuseum\, Kunstmuseum Den Haag en het Science Museum in Londen. Zo zijn er prenten van Escher\, de eerste brief van Escher aan Penrose\, persoonlijke objecten van zwartegatenpionier Stephen Hawking\, de pen van Einstein\, een litho van Jean Pierre Luminet\, tekeningen\, brieven en een puzzel van Roger Penrose en couture uit de Black Hole collectie van niemand minder dan Viktor & Rolf. Nieuwsgierig geworden? Na een bezoek aan de tentoonstelling over Zwarte Gaten hoef je niet meer bang te zijn voor het ogenschijnlijk enge ‘monster’. Ontdek waarom ook wetenschappers eindeloos gefascineerd zijn door zwarte gaten en kom meer te weten over de ongrijpbaarheid van ons heelal. \nLinks:\nDichter bij het Zwarte Gat \nDichter bij het Zwarte Gat – Museumtijdschrift

SUMMARY:GOES-19
DESCRIPTION:GOES-19 (designated GOES-U prior to reaching geostationary orbit) is a weather satellite\, the fourth and last of the GOES-R series of satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). \nThe GOES-R series will extend the availability of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) system until 2036. The satellite is built by Lockheed Martin\, based on the A2100 platform. The satellite was successfully launched into space atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on 25 June 2024 at 21:26 UTC from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida\, United States. The redesign of the loop heat pipe to prevent an anomaly\, as seen in GOES-17\, is not expected to delay the launch as it did with GOES-T. GOES-U also carries a copy of the Naval Research Laboratory’s Compact CORonagraph (CCOR) instrument which\, along with the CCOR planned for Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1)\, will allow continued monitoring of solar wind after the retirement of the NASA–ESA SOHO satellite in 2025. GOES-U has a dry mass of 2\,925 kg and a fueled mass of 5\,000 kg. \nLinks:\nGEOS – R\n\nGOES-U Mission Overview \nSatellite: GOES-19 \nWatch sun erupt in 1st images from NOAA’s groundbreaking new satellite (photos)

SUMMARY:The Sky at Night - 2075: Our Place in Space (TV BBC Four)
DESCRIPTION:The Sky at Night is a monthly documentary television programme on astronomy produced by the BBC. \nThe show had the same permanent presenter\, Patrick Moore\, from its first broadcast on 24 April 1957 until 7 January 2013. The latter date was a posthumous broadcast\, which followed Moore’s death on 9 December 2012. This made it the longest-running programme with the same presenter in television history. Many early episodes are missing\, either because the tapes were wiped\, thrown out\, or because the episode was broadcast live and never recorded in the first place. \nBeginning with the 3 February 2013 edition\, the show was co-presented by Lucie Green and Chris Lintott. Since December 2013 Maggie Aderin-Pocock has been a presenter. The programme’s opening and closing theme music is “At the Castle Gate”\, from the incidental music to Pelléas et Mélisande\, written in 1905 by Jean Sibelius\, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham. \nThis episode:\nThe Sky at Night is embarking on a journey into the future\, as we explore how space will revolutionise life on Earth over the next 50 years. As humanity’s reach extends into the cosmos\, we face unprecedented challenges\, from redefining what it means to be an astronaut\, to confronting our own space junk\, to dealing with the impact of life in space on our earth-adapted bodies. With privileged early access to a groundbreaking new report from the Royal Society on humanity’s future in space\, the Sky at Night team are on a mission to find our destiny among the stars – our place in space. \nThe criteria for becoming an astronaut are famously tough. But if we want more people to go to space\, maybe it’s time to start challenging that. That’s what the European Space Agency are doing with their pioneering study Fly!\, which aims to figure out if someone with a physical disability can live and work in space. At the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne\, presenter Chris Lintott meets one of the newest members of ESA’s astronaut reserve: John McFall. John is already a medal-winning Paralympian and orthopaedic surgeon and – as if that wasn’t enough – he is now the first recruit to the Fly! study. Chris discovers what’s involved in John’s extensive and gruelling training\, and finds out what his hopes are for improving access to space. \nTraining for space travel is one thing\, but living on the moon or Mars is a whole new level for humanity. Our bodies are used to gravity\, and being in environments with less gravity than Earth can make them go a bit haywire. At the Royal Society in London\, Maggie Aderin-Pocock meets up with space medicine expert Professor Kevin Fong to find out all about the challenges of keeping humans healthy in space. What would an astronaut on Mars do in a medical emergency? What happens to our bones\, muscles and organs if we are without Earth’s gravity for a long time? And could a baby be born in space? \nWhile Maggie and Kevin unpack those mind-bending questions\, George Dransfield heads to Astroscale in Oxfordshire\, a company who are coming up with clever ways to take out space trash. There are already 130 million pieces of space debris in orbit around our planet\, and that number is ticking up. George meets up with Dr Mekhi Dhesi to learn about Astroscale’s clever missions to clean up space junk – including ELSA-M\, a spacecraft which uses magnets to tow defunct satellites out of orbit\, and Cosmic\, a spacecraft with a robot arm to grab onto debris. \nOur increasing dependence on satellites isn’t just producing a lot of space junk though\, it’s also becoming a nuisance for amateur astronomers around the world. Thankfully\, our resident astronomer Pete Lawrence has some clever tips and tricks for telling satellites and meteors apart\, and using smart telescopes to remove satellite trails from deep sky images. \nFinally\, back at the Royal Society\, Maggie sits down with Professor Suzie Imber\, planetary scientist and co-chair of the groundbreaking Space: 2075 report. Together\, they unpack some of the biggest questions about our journey into the cosmos over the next 50 years. How do we make sure space benefits us all\, including those of us still down here on Earth? Should we be concerned about the commercialisation of space travel? And will there really be people on Mars by 2075? \nLinks:\nThe Sky at Night

SUMMARY:Babelsberger Sternennächte - Our Galaxy has a history (TV webcast)
DESCRIPTION:Die Babelsberger Sternennächte finden online statt\, in der Regel gibt es immer am 3. Donnerstag im Monat einen neuen Vortrag einer Wissenschaftlerin oder eines Wissenschaftlers des AIP\, der ab 20 Uhr auf dem YouTube-Kanal von Urknall\, Weltall und das Leben ausgestrahlt wird (Playlist). \nUnsere Heimatgalaxie\, die Milchstraße\, zeigt sich als beeindruckendes milchig-weißes Band am Nachthimmel. Wir leben inmitten dieser Galaxie und doch ist sie noch immer nicht vollständig kartografiert. Mit dem ESA-Satelliten Gaia\, der die Eigenschaften von fast zwei Milliarden Sternen misst\, wird unser Bild der Milchstraße allmählich immer vollständiger. In ihrem Vortrag gibt Cristina Chiappini einen Überblick\, wie Astronominnen und Astronomen anhand der Gaia-Daten zeigen\, dass unsere Galaxie eine einzigartige Geschichte erzählt – und wie wir dabei sind\, ihre Vergangenheit zu entschlüsseln. Auf dieser Reise geben nicht nur die Positionen und Geschwindigkeiten der Sterne\, sondern auch ihre chemische Zusammensetzung als „fossile Aufzeichnungen“ Hinweise auf die Geschichte der Milchstraße. Nur unsere eigene Galaxie lässt sich so detailliert studieren\, da uns nur hier reichhaltige Informationen über eine große Anzahl von Einzelsternen zur Verfügung stehen. Dennoch wirft die Geschichte der Milchstraße auch ein Licht auf die Entstehung und Entwicklung anderer Galaxien und trägt zum Verständnis der chemischen Anreicherung des Universums bei. \nSobald der neue Vortrag verfügbar ist\, ist der Link direkt auf dieser Seite zu finden. Bitte beachten Sie\, dass fast alle Vorträge auf Deutsch gehalten werden. \nLink:\nBabelsberger Sternennächte

SUMMARY:Gravitational waves and the Einstein telescope (TV RIGB webcast)
DESCRIPTION:Join Gideon Koekoek as he uncovers the secret that nature repeats the same rules over and over again\, so that he will prepare you to fully appreciate the exciting discoveries that are coming our way\, including the Einstein Telescope. \nPioneering physics discoveries often catch the public eye\, such as the discovery of gravitational waves in 2015. Curved spacetime\, black holes\, and the evolutionary history of the Universe speak immensely to the imagination of the general public as well as science enthusiasts\, and yet physics is still perceived as a discipline only accessible for the intellectual elite. Gideon sets out to show that physics is as fun and understandable as it is tremendously exciting\, and it is high time we make nature’s mysteries accessible to all. Gideon will let us in on the secret that nature repeats the same rules over and over again\, so that once we understand one case\, we can understand more abstract areas too. He will prepare you to fully appreciate\, and understand\, the exciting discoveries that are coming our way in the next few years. \nLinks:\nGravitational waves: Nature’s secrets \nDe Einstein-telescoop in Zuid-Limburg?

SUMMARY:Komeet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) in 2024
DESCRIPTION:De komeet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) bereikt het perihelium op 27 september 2024. \nDe niet-periodieke komeet werd ontdekt in de eerste helft van januari 2023. Het object heeft een vrijwel parabolische baan\, en dit is waarschijnlijk de eerste (en mogelijk enige) keer dat het langs de Zon scheert. De komeet bevindt zich tijdens het perihelium op een afstand van 0\,39 AE van de Zon en op 0\,91 AE van de Aarde. De helderheid van het object bedraagt dan magnitude +2\,8. Bedenk hierbij dat het lastig is de helderheid van een komeet exact te voorspellen\, zeker wanneer het object voor het eerst het centrale deel van het zonnestelsel bezoekt. Daarnaast is een komeet vaak onzichtbaar rond het moment van grootste helderheid\, doordat deze zich dan te dicht bij de Zon aan de hemel bevindt. De komeet is zichtbaar met een helderheid groter dan achtste magnitude aan onze avondhemel tussen 12 oktober en 28 november 2024. Tot 11 oktober is het object in Nederland en België vrijwel onzichtbaar. \nImages of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) captured on 24 February 2023 by Филипп Романов (Filipp Romanov) using the iTelescope.net remote telescope. Credit: @romanov_filipp\nWij zien de grootste helderheid rond 12 oktober: magnitude +1\,0. Er is een verrekijker nodig met een apertuur van 15 mm of meer om het object op dat moment waar te nemen. Het meest gunstige moment om de komeet te bekijken vanuit onze streken is rond 21 oktober. Het object heeft dan een helderheid van +4\,1m en een magnitudecontrast van -1\,0m\, in theorie voldoende om met het blote oog waargenomen te worden\, maar vermoedelijk is de ondersteuning van een verrekijker (in de hand of op statief) nodig. Merk op dat een diffuse komeet lastiger waar te nemen is dan een ster met dezelfde helderheid. De dichtste nadering van C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) tot de Aarde gebeurt rond 12 oktober. De afstand bedraagt dan 0\,47 AE\, circa 71 miljoen km\, dus niet al te ver weg. Na het perihelium vinden we het object onder meer in de sterrenbeelden Slang\, Slangendrager en Adelaar. \nLinks:\nKomeet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) in 2024 \nComet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is due to reappear in our skies over the coming weeks

SUMMARY:World Space Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:By resolution 54/68 of 6 December 1999\, the General Assembly proclaimed World Space Week\, to celebrate the contributions of space science and technology to the betterment of the human condition. \nWorld Space Week is the largest annual space event in the world. the weeks helps build up the workforce of tomorrow by inspiring students; demonstrates visible public support for the space programme; educates the public about space activities; and fosters international cooperation in space outreach and education. Each year a theme is selected by the World Space Week Association Board of Directors in close coordination with the UN Office of Outer Space Affairs. The theme provides broad guidance to World Space Week participants on the content of their programmes. The theme is selected to increase the impact of World Space Week on all humanity further\, by using a uniform theme globally. On 4 October 1957\, the launch into outer space of the first human-made Earth satellite\, Sputnik 1\, opened the way for space exploration. A decade later\, on 10 October 1967\, the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space\, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies entered into force. Space science and technology and their applications are increasingly being used to support a wide range of United Nations activities. At least 25 United Nations entities and the World Bank Group routinely use space applications. \nThey make important and sometimes essential contributions to the work of the United Nations\, including in the implementation of recommendations of major world conferences and those of the Third United Nations Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNISPACE III)\, as well as support towards sustainable development. As a consequence\, coordination\, cooperation and synergy are essential for those activities to be effectively carried out by the United Nations system. The annual sessions of the Inter-Agency Meeting on Outer Space Activities are the main means of achieving that synergy. The effectiveness of the Meeting has been further enhanced by the holding\, since 2004\, of an open informal session immediately after the end of the Meeting\, as a means of engaging Member States\, in a direct and informal setting\, in important space-related developments in the United Nations system. The agenda of the Inter-Agency Meeting is reviewed at each session and adapted to current operational needs. \nFor World Space Week 2024\, the chosen theme is “Space & Climate Change.” This theme celebrates the transformative impact of space technology in our ongoing battle against climate change\, emphasizing the proactive role space exploration plays in enhancing our understanding and management of Earth’s climate. Event organizers worldwide are encouraged to integrate the theme “Space & Climate Change” into their World Space Week events. Activities may range from educational workshops and interactive sessions to panel discussions and collaborative projects\, all aimed at fostering innovative environmental solutions. \nLinks:\nWorld Space Week \nInternational Astronautical Congress 2024

SUMMARY:De Einstein-telescoop in Zuid-Limburg? (TV Volkssterrenwacht Bussloo)
DESCRIPTION:Sinds enkele jaren hebben astronomen een geheel nieuwe methode om informatie uit het heelal te bestuderen: zwaartekrachtsgolven. \nEen zeer specialistische maar unieke manier om meer te weten te komen over de prachtigste explosies in het heelal; van botsende zwarte gaten tot de oerknal. Nederland hoopt dat de ambitieuze Einsteintelescoop een ondergrondse plek krijgt in de bodem van Zuid-Limburg. Dr. Wim Walk van het Nihkef in Amsterdam legt uit hoe deze telescoop werkt en waarom Zuid-Limburg zo’n goede plek is hiervoor. En waarom Nederland in een dergelijk prestigieus instrument moet investeren. Presentatie in het kader van het “Weekend van de Wetenschap”. \nLinks:\nVolkssterrenwacht Bussloo YouTube kanaal \nWebsite Einsteintelescoop \nWebsite Einstein Telescope Euregio Maas-Rijn \nWebsite ETpathfinder \nEinsteintelescoop : opening proefinstallatie ETpathfinder \nKabinet trekt portemonnee – Nederland aast op ondergrondse telescoop van 10 kilometer: ‘Een ongekend project’ Einstein Telescoop

SUMMARY:Hera space mission
DESCRIPTION:Hera is a space mission in development at the European Space Agency in its Space Safety program\, its primary objective is to study the Didymos binary asteroid system that was impacted by DART and contribute to validation of the kinetic impact method to deviate a near-Earth asteroid in a colliding trajectory with Earth. \nIt will measure the size and the morphology of the crater created by and momentum transferred by an artificial projectile impacting an asteroid\, which will allow measuring the efficiency of the deflection produced by the impact. It will also analyze the expanding debris cloud caused by the impact. The spacecraft was launched on 7 October 2024 and will also study the results of DART impactor\, four years after NASA’s mission. DART impacted the asteroid Dimorphos\, the smaller of two objects forming the binary asteroid 65803 Didymos\, on 27 September 2022. Hera has a mass of 1128 kilograms and carries a payload of cameras\, an altimeter\, and a spectrometer. It will also carry two nano-satellite CubeSats\, called Milani and Juventas. Hera will fully characterise the composition and physical properties of the binary asteroid system including\, for the first time\, the sub-surface and internal structures. It will also perform technological demonstrations linked to operations in the vicinity of a small body and the deployment and the communication with CubeSats in interplanetary space. \nHera’s launch kit\, click picture to read\nLinks:\nESA Hera \nThermophysical Modelling of Eclipse and Occultation Events in Binary Asteroid Systems \nPlanetary defence mission Hera heading for deflected asteroid \nSpaceX rocket launches Europe’s Hera planetary defense probe to visit asteroid smacked by NASA

SUMMARY:Meteorenzwerm Draconiden in oktober 2024
DESCRIPTION:De meteorenzwerm Draconiden\, ook wel Giacobiniden genoemd naar de bronkomeet 21P/Giacobini-Zimmer\, bereikt op dinsdag 8 oktober 2024\, rond 15:00\, zijn maximum. \nZelfs wanneer de radiant in het zenit zou staan\, zou er van deze zwerm naar verwachting gemiddeld niet meer dan één meteoor per uur vallen. Rond 18:00 staat de radiant van de zwerm in het hoogste punt (op 88°) aan de hemel. Het beste moment om Draconiden waar te nemen is op 8 oktober rond 21:00. De radiant staat op dat moment zo’n 63° boven de horizon\, in het westnoordwesten. Samen met meteoren van andere zwermen\, en sporadische meteoren\, zijn er bij donkere\, heldere hemel in totaal circa 10–17 “vallende sterren” per uur te zien. Op een goed donkere plek zijn circa vier keer zoveel meteoren te zien als in dichtbevolkt gebied. De Maan stoort niet. Rond 07:15 gaat het schemeren en om 07:55 komt de Zon op. De meteoren van de meeste zwermen verschijnen niet allemaal op de dag van het maximum. Zo is gedurende circa 4 dagen rondom het maximum meer dan 50% van het maximale aantal meteoren van de Draconiden te zien. De zwerm heeft daarmee een relatief korte piek. Er zijn dus nog meer kansen\, voor het geval het in de nacht van het maximum niet helder is. Iedere dag verder weg van het maximum zijn er echter wel ongeveer 30% minder meteoren per uur te zien. De typische snelheden van de meteoren in deze zwerm zijn met circa 20 km/s (ongeveer 73.440 km/uur) relatief laag. Meteoren waarnemen kan zonder speciale instrumenten. \nDe Draconiden zijn een doorgaans zwakke meteorenzwerm die korte (circa 45 minuten) maar extreme meteorenregens vertoonde in 1933 en 1946 waarbij tot 200 meteoren per minuut zichtbaar waren voor de gelukkige waarnemers. In regens in de jaren 1952\, 1985 en 1998 zijn regens waargenomen die tussen de 30 minuten en 2 uur duurden\, en waar enkele meteoren per minuut vielen. Ook in 2005\, 2011 en 2012 werden (minder extreme) regens waargenomen. Toekomstige uitbarstingen van de Draconiden worden voorspeld voor 2020\, 2024\, 2025\, 2030\, 2035\, 2037\, 2042 en 2044. In andere jaren werden nog geen 2 meteoren per uur gemeten. Meteoren worden in de volksmond ook wel vallende sterren genoemd. In werkelijkheid gaat het niet om sterren die vallen\, maar om minuscule stukjes steen en gruis die onder hoge snelheden de aardatmosfeer binnenkomen en op ongeveer 80–120 km hoogte verdampen. Het lichtflitsje dat we zien is met name de lucht om het steentje heen die aan het gloeien gebracht wordt. Een meteorenzwerm is een verzameling van meteoren die rond dezelfde tijd en in hetzelfde gebied aan de hemel zichtbaar zijn. De meteoren lijken uit één punt aan de hemel te komen\, dat we de radiant noemen. Deze beweging wordt veroorzaakt door zowel de beweging van de meteoren zelf als door de baansnelheid van de Aarde. \nLinks:\nMeteorenzwerm Draconiden in oktober 2024

SUMMARY:International Astronautical Congress 2024
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the International Astronautical Federation with the support of the International Academy of Astronautics and the International Institute of Space Law (IISL)\, holds the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) which is hosted by one of the national society members of the IAF. \nThey are an annual meeting of the actors in the discipline of space\, and are generally held in late September or early October. They consist of plenary sessions\, lectures and meetings. The IAC is attended by the agency heads and senior executives of the world’s space agencies. As the Second World War came to an end\, the United States and the Soviet Union held different and competing political worldviews. As the Cold War began to take shape\, communication between the two countries became less frequent. Both countries turned their focus to achieving military superiority over the other. Six years after the Iron Curtain fell\, the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) was formed by scientists from all over Europe in the field of space research in order to collaborate once more. During the years of the Space Race\, the IAF was one of the few forums where members of both East and West Europe could meet during the annual International Astronautical Congresses. \nThe 75th International Astronautical Congress (IAC) will see the arrival in Milan of over 8\,000 experts from industry\, research and the institutions and place Italy at the heart of the international debate on the use of Space to support sustainability. Under the motto “Responsible Space for Sustainability”\, the intention of the IAC 2024 is to highlight the importance of Space as an environment that must be kept secure and open to exploration\, peaceful use and international co-operation by present and future generations in the interests of the planet and all nations\, regardless of their level of development and without discrimination of any kind. With this aim more than 8\,000 experts from space agencies\, companies\, research centres and associations from across the world will meet at IAC 2024 – organized with the contribution of AIM Group International – in the Milano Congress Center (Allianz MiCo)\, Europe’s largest conference venue. There are currently just under 8\,000 satellites in orbit\, around 5\,000 of which are operational\, and this number is set to grow significantly in the next few years. \nEver more countries and public and private players are becoming actively involved in the space economy. The Earth’s orbit is nonetheless a limited resource\, and any overcrowding involves risks in terms of security\, light pollution and the availability of data and services provided by space technologies. In the economy\, industry\, agriculture\, transport\, energy\, finance\, urban development\, communications\, environmental monitoring\, and security\, space systems are a fundamental tool in the creation of a more digital\, green and sustainable future. They are likewise vital for the functioning of society\, the economy and global trade. Italy is at the forefront in the challenge of using Space responsibly in the name of sustainability. It is one of the few countries in the world with a complete Space economy supply chain: from manufacturing\, through new applications development and satellite services management\, to propulsion and launch systems. The country’s expertise can be found in the research sector and in companies of all sizes\, from start-ups and SMEs to large-scale industry\, supported by the institutions. \nLinks:\nInternational Astronautical Congress \nWorld Space Week 2024

SUMMARY:NASA’s Europa Clipper Mission
DESCRIPTION:Europa Clipper (previously known as Europa Multiple Flyby Mission) is a space probe in development by NASA. \nPlanned for launch aboard a Falcon Heavy in October 2024 (the 21-day launch window period opens on October 10\, 2024)\, the spacecraft is being developed to study the Galilean moon Europa through a series of flybys while in orbit around Jupiter\, it is the largest spacecraft NASA has ever developed for a planetary mission. This mission is a scheduled flight of the Planetary Science Division\, designated a Large Strategic Science Mission\, and funded under the Planetary Missions Program Office‘s Solar System Exploration program as its second flight. It is also supported by the new Ocean Worlds Exploration Program. Europa Clipper will perform follow-up studies to those made by the Galileo spacecraft during its eight years (1995 – 2003) in Jupiter orbit\, which indicated the existence of a subsurface ocean underneath Europa’s ice crust. Plans to send a spacecraft to Europa were initially conceived with projects such as Europa Orbiter and Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter\, in which a spacecraft would be injected into orbit around Europa. However\, due to the adverse effects of radiation from Jupiter’s magnetosphere in Europa orbit\, it was decided that it would be safer to inject a spacecraft into an elliptical orbit around Jupiter and make 44 close flybys of the moon instead. The mission began as a joint investigation between the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL)\, and will be built with a scientific payload of nine instruments contributed by JPL\, APL\, Southwest Research Institute\, University of Texas at Austin\, Arizona State University and University of Colorado Boulder. The upcoming mission complements ESA‘s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer launched in 2023\, which will fly-by Europa twice and Callisto multiple times before moving into orbit around Ganymede. The spacecraft will use gravity assists from Mars in February 2025 and Earth in December 2026\, before arriving at Europa in April 2030. NASA will provide live coverage of prelaunch and launch activities for Europa Clipper\, the agency’s mission to explore Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. NASA now is targeting launch no earlier than 18:06 CEST\, Monday\, Oct. 14\, on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. \nLinks:\nNASA’s Europa Clipper Mission \nEuropa Clipper \nThe search for life on Jupiter’s moon Europa – the Europa Clipper Mission \n8 Things to Know About NASA’s Mission to an Ocean Moon of Jupiter \nNASA\, SpaceX Secure Europa Clipper Ahead of Hurricane (Milton)
