Well, at least the meteorite simulator is ready for the International Meteor Conference 2025 @imometeors.bsky.social

... And "official" dinner too ;-)

The Radio Meteor School 2025 is about to start now! @imometeors.bsky.social

My journey to the International Meteor Conference 2025 in The Netherlands just started

Our newborn instrument SPADE caught this nice solar Type II radio burst last weekend 🌞📡. Spectrogram below from the Humain Radio Astronomy Station (@orb-ksb.bsky.social – Royal Observatory of Belgium).

🌠The #Perseid #MeteorShower will reach its peak around August 12. However, the presence of the Moon, which will be 84% illuminated on the night of 12 to 13 August, will hinder the observation of the less bright shooting stars. Hence, arm yourself with patience to observe them.

☀️🛰️A meeting of Proba-3 scientists was held at @orb-ksb.bsky.social. Among the topics discussed were the research and measurements of its instruments ASPIICS, 3DEES and DARA. This is the 1st meeting after the first artificial solar eclipse images from ASPIICS. 🔭🧪

📷This is the image of #Proba3 🛰️, the ☀️ solar #eclipse 🌑 maker, that was just released by @esa.int
It was made by scientists of @orb-ksb.bsky.social
🤩 The beginning of a scientific voyage of discovery into the solar atmosphere, the birthplace of #spaceweather.

Proba-3: first light!!!
This is the image of the duo-satellite Proba-3 making solar eclipses, just released by the European Space Agency, ESA.

Nice radio burst captured today by our instruments of @orb-ksb.bsky.social @ the Humain Radio-Astronomy Station

Solar Orbiter gets world-first views of the Sun’s poles Thanks to its newly tilted orbit around the Sun, the European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft is the first to image the Sun’s poles from outside the ecliptic plane. Solar Orbiter’s unique vi...

Sun’s south pole revealed for first time, in images from Solar Orbiter spacecraft Groundbreaking observations map chaotic patchwork of magnetic activity at pole, said to be key to understanding how sun’s field flips The sun’s uncharted south pole has been revealed for the first time in striking images beamed back from the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. The joint European Space Agency (ESA) and Nasa mission swooped below the planetary plane and, for the first time, captured the sun’s mysterious polar regions. The groundbreaking observations also mapped a chaotic patchwork of magnetic activity at the sun’s pole that scientists say is key to understanding how the sun’s field flips roughly every 11 years.

🤩 Nice time-lapse view of our ☀️ #SolarOrbiter Sun picture ☀️ next to our solar dome by our colleague @ututuy.org
Come to @nerdland.be to admire our giant Sun picture! 📸🔭 🧪

☀️Dive in the Sun! ☀️
This weekend, our solar scientists are present at the @nerdland.be festival in Wachtebeke with a world premier: a giant and razorsharp image 📸 of the sun ☀️ thanks to the cameras on the Solar Orbiter. 🛰️
🤩 Pass by our booth to admire the sun and have a chat with the scientists!👩‍🔬

I really don't understand this trend of making tennis players talk at the end of the match… Most of the time, it's just embarrassing.

📆 Rappel : #Conférence et projection de #film au Planétarium de Bruxelles ce jeudi 22 mai à 18h 30.
Trois chercheuses exceptionnelles, dont Véronique Dehant de l'Observatoire royal de Belgique, vous dévoileront les derniers résultats de leurs recherches sur l’intérieur de la #Terre 🌍.

...and again today!
