#PhDCongratulations! 🥳Fridolin Spitzer of the #IMPRS “Solar System School” successfully defended his PhD thesis “The onset of planet formation inferred from isotope anomalies in meteorites” today! Uni Göttingen Göttingen Campus

Two insights into solar research at Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research on German TV today! At 6.30 PM, the science show #3sat NANO will report on the Sunrise Solar Observatory mission: 3sat.de/wissen/nano A bit later at 6.45 PM, MPS-Director Sami Solanki will be live on the show DAS! ndr.de/fernsehen/send…

During its #Uranus flyby in 1986, ARCHIVED - NASA Voyager 2 encountered a haywire #magnetosphere due to unusual solar wind conditions. Read more about the new analysis of the 38 year old data here: mps.mpg.de/uranus-a-haywi…

Tonight, #MPSGoettingen Director Sami Solanki reports on Sunrise Solar Observatory’s adventurous flight across the Atlantic. At 7.30 PM in Uni Göttingen's ZHG. In German. The talk is part of the series “Faszinierendes Weltall” of the Förderkreis Planetarium Göttingen. planetarium-goettingen.de/vortragsreihe/…

Let the sun shine in!🌞 Die neue Ausstellung #Sonnenansichten gibt Einblicke in die Sonnenforschung. Im Fokus: Ein Film über die Sunrise III-Mission, die die Sonne aus der Stratosphäre erforschte. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research! 📅 4.12.24 – 15.2.25 | #ForumWissen

Today saw the last day of the 14th meeting on “(Exo)Planet Diversity, Formation and Evolution” at #MPSGoettingen. Thanks for three days full of talks, discussions, and new insights! #exoplanets #planets #stars

Congratulations, #Proba3, and have a safe trip! Looking forward to a unique formation flight – and to new data from the #Sun. #MPSGoettingen has developed software for the mission’s scientific data analysis and will use the data to learn more about the solar #corona.

What a blast! #Sun-like stars produce a #superflare on average about once every century per star, a research team led by #MPSGoettingen shows in today’s issue of @sciencemagazine.

Read more about our research into #superflares in the New York Times!

Today, #Sunrise_III shares its 1st images of the #Sun! Read more here: mps.mpg.de/first-solar-im… IAA-CSIC NAOJ #KIS Johns Hopkins APL Max Planck Society CSIC Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research Universitat València Universidad Politécnica de Madrid IAC Astrofísica

Watch #Sunrise_III’s unique research flight in the #stratosphere as seen by the onboard cameras provided by the #IRIS-2 project. Includes launch and landing! youtu.be/CKWAjiNBPxo

2024 was tense and successful with the SWI cruise phase operations PCW01, PCW02 and LEGA! Looking forward to 2025 operations! ESA's Juice mission Centre spatial guyanais Arianespace Airbus Space Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research #happyholidays #ESAJuice

Millions of years after formation, the Moon’s immense volcanic activity reheated its crust. As scientists from UC Santa Cruz, #MPSGoettingen and Collège de France argue today in nature, the Moon is at least 4.43 billion years old, but its crust is younger. More: mps.mpg.de/old-moon-with-…

In the current episode of the German TV Show “Spacetime” devoted to planetary #atmospheres, #MPSGoettingen scientist Paul Hartogh speaks about the gas layers surrounding #Earth, #Venus and #Mars as well as the search for life on #exoplanets: youtube.com/watch?v=SdwOOg… In German.

All scientific instruments to which #MPSGoettingen has contributed i.e. #BELA, #MIXS, #SERENA and #MPPE are switched on during flyby and we’re looking forward to cool new data. #bepicolombo #Mercury #Flyby

This year’s public lecture series at #MPSGoettingen will be devoted to #Earth and its cosmic next of kin: the inner #planets #Mercury, #Venus and #Mars. Find more info here: mps.mpg.de/die-erde-und-i… All lectures in German. See you there! #innerplanets Göttingen Campus

Together with #Huygens, hardware from #MPSGoettingen made its way to the surface of #Titan. We contributed the CCD detector and associated operation electronics to the instrument #DISR – and thus helped to take the first and to date only pictures from the surface of an icy moon.
