A successful encounter! #BepiColombo passed Mercury today, gathering valuable science data. 🛰️🌖 As expected, as we were further from the planet than during previous encounters, the planet was quite small in the selfie-cam pictures. Here's an image taken at 10:46 UTC (11:46

Mercury in motion... One of the #BepiColombo selfie-cameras captured Mercury today as the spacecraft rushed by the planet at almost 3 km per second. 🛰️💨 This time-lapse of unprocessed images was captured during 10:26-11:18 UTC today (11:26-12:18 CET), between 53700 and 48000 km

🛰️🌑We're gearing up for BepiColombo's sixth Mercury flyby, coming up this Wednesday! ℹ️Closest approach is 295 km at 06:59 CET We'll investigate Mercury's cold night side, north pole craters, and the vast northern plains 👉esa.int/Science_Explor…

Here's an image taken 5.5 hours before closest approach, when #bepicolombo was 44950 km from Mercury's southern hemisphere. The planet is at the bottom of the picture, below two of the spacecraft's booms.

Our top three images from the sixth Mercury flyby are here! 🌗 See what they reveal about the mysterious planet here 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor… and in 🧵👇

🤔In space, no one can hear you... make an orbit-bending flyby of Mercury. So BepiColombo recorded its vibrations and turned them into sounds

Embarrassing. All those decisions go their way only to nick a draw and remain 15th 😂😭

2 shirt pulls? Premier League #EVEMUN

Not Man Utd legend Rio Ferdinand also agreeing that was a pen 🤷🏼‍♀️ fanbase delusion up there with Liverpool and Arsenal, imagine the scenes if that wasn’t given to their precious Bruno at the Stretford End 🤪

🙃

Remember when Brighton got a penalty for this? VAR. Football’s all seeing eye. Football’s pedantic autocorrect. Manned in this case by Lee Mason at Stockley Park who whispered sweet nothings in Andrew Madley’s ear until he awarded a penalty.

🤷🏼‍♀️

"It's not a clear and obvious error." Were they correct to overturn Everton's penalty on VAR?

Penalties awarded in the Premier League since the introduction of VAR in 2019/20. #EFC

Love this idea 👏🏼

Love it!! 💙💙
