I've seen a few raw images which already blew my mind, really looking forward to seeing what the properly processed results look like. Tune in here to see for yourself!

Career highlight! Dr. Brian May came to visit us while we awaited the signal from ESA's Hera mission after the Mars Swingby, then disappeared to start working on the Mars and Deimos images with the other science teams. I'm looking forward to seeing the results during the press release soon!

WATCH NOW: #HeraMission's gravity-assist Mars & Deimos flyby images unveiled live by Hera's science team, including Dr. Brian May of Queen, joined by @astro_Alex & @AndyWeirAuthor! youtube.com/live/cHiASEowr…

Revealed: the first images from @ESA's #HeraMission gravity-assist flyby of Mars! esa.int/Space_Safety/H…

The #HeraMission #dinosaurs 🦖🦕sneak into the ESA's Hera mission press conference with Dr. Brian May and Dr. Patrick Michel. ESA Operations us keeping them well behaved 😀

#HeraMission #Mars flyby… and here is #Deimos, so beautiful 🤩 the spacecraft is nominal and now heading to its final destination #didymos

This side of Deimos has never been seen in such detail before, because the tidally locked moon always faces the same side towards Mars, and the fleet of orbiters is "below" the moon's orbit looking up at it. ESA's Hera mission flew past "above" it so snapped these unique pictures

One of the great things ESA's Hera mission 🛰️can do is look at objects in different wavelengths to learn unique things about them. The 二重小惑星探査計画Hera's "TIRI" 📷 takes thermal images of Deimos 🪨 reveal a moon much hotter than the planet Mars 🔴 behind it. #HeraMission #science #HotToGo

Today at 10:01 CET the Sun was directly above Earth’s equator, marking the #SpringEquinox! 🌸 At this moment our planet is neither tilted towards nor away from the Sun, creating nearly equal day/night. 🌓 This stunning image was captured by Meteosat-12 earlier this morning. 🛰️

Our atmosphere is thin but powerful - it shapes our #weather & sustains life. 🌫️ On today's #WorldMeteorologicalDay, we highlight how EO satellites like Meteosat-12 help us monitor this crucial layer, improving weather forecasts & #climate understanding: bit.ly/41GHNfV

Sparkle Cat, but Studio Ghibli. #ChatGPT wins again

A stunning view of the partial #SolarEclipse from space! 🌒 Captured by EUMETSAT's Meteosat-12 satellite, you can see the Moon’s shadow sweeping across Earth btwn 06:00 - 12:30 UTC 🛰 Unlike a total eclipse, part of the Sun remained visible - did you catch it from the ground?👀

Europe just had its hottest year on record. 🌡️ The #ESOTC2024 report shows the continent is warming faster than the global average, facing rising threats from extreme weather. 📖 Find out more about the report's findings here: bit.ly/4lCulD0

Congratulations to the teams at ESA Operations and Airbus Space who made this work. Also excellent use of monitoring cameras - spacecraft manufacturers take note! 😂

Again ARCHIVED - NASA Voyager shows us how good spacecraft operations makes all the difference to mission success - the ability to go back and re-examine a problem. Flexibility and ingenuity at billion-mile distance. Brilliant. Well done NASA JPL! jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-voy…

Goodbye ESA Operations! After nearly 20 years working at #ESOC it's time for me to move on to a new challenge. So many memories in this control room. Safe mode recovery on Mars Express, end of mission on Venus Express, getting Solar Orbiter to the sun, getting Hera past Mars...

It's #MetopSGA1 LAUNCH DAY! 🚀 Teams at the European Spaceport in Kourou are making final preparations for lift off at 21:37 local time (00:37 UTC, 02:37 CEST on August 13). 🛰️ Stay tuned with us for updates - night owls, watch the action live here: bit.ly/45bv6N3

It was pretty special being at the launch event in only my second week of working at #EUMETSAT. I'm very excited to get stuck into flying this magnificent spacecraft! #MetopSGA1

"How was your first month in the new job?" Well, we did some things... 😉
