#ESA #Copernicus #Sentinel1 #InSAR interferogram of the postseismic displacements induced by the September 8 #Earthquake that occurred in #Morrocco between #Marakech and #Agadir.
If considering that movement is purely vertical and counting approx 5 fringes to the epicentre, it means a cumulated 15cm vertical displacement.
Processing made from #Sentinel1 SAR pair acquired on August 30 and September 11, 2023.

Budeme i my Evropané mít novou a funkční raketu? První zážeh Ariana 6 na rampě 👍 Jen ten vzhled by mohl být víc "high-tech" co? 😅 #ESA https://kosmonautix.cz/2023/09/prvni-zazeh-ariane-6-na-rampe/

Spannend, was es alles an #Weltraumforschung gibt, das nicht unmittelbar mit Raketen zu tun hat - zum Beispiel antibakterielle Kleidung oder Unterwäsche mit Wasserkühlung.

Und was hat der Rotrücken-Waldsalamander damit zu tun?

#EarthObservation mission impossible?

Need access to pan-sharpened SPOT 6/7 data across large regions in Sub-Saharan #Africa. Context is land systems / #sustainability #science, strictly non-profit, so budget is limited (surprise!). Any hint to hidden archives, institutional databases, research programs, funding lines, or else is valuable!

The Irony. ClearSpace-1 Couldn't Clean up Space Debris Because its Target Already Got hit by Space Debris, Creating Even More Space Debris.

The European Space Agency's ClearSpace-1 satellite was zeroing in on the spent payload adaptor from a 2013 rocket launch. Its task would be to extend arms, grab the chunk of debris, hug it tightly, and then pull it back into the Earth's atmosphere, de-orbiting and removing it from low-Earth orbit. On August 10th, mission controllers detected multiple pieces of space debris near its target - debris that was probably dislodged from it in the recent past. They're now scrutinizing the situation to plan their next step in the mission.

I’d read the papers but I was still unprepared for the eldritch horror of #JWST nearby galaxies. Image from today’s #ESA press release

The James Webb Space Telescope just dropped this incredible new image of the Whirlpool Galaxy, a.k.a. Messier 51. Made with the Mid-InfraRed Imager (MIRI), it traces clouds of dust in the #galaxy glowing in infrared light. These clouds absorb starlight and re-radiate the energy at wavelengths too long for our eyes to see. To make the light visible to human eyes, a false color map has been applied.
