Ganymede Laser Altimeter - GALA
@GALA_JUICE
What a day! The first time after the launch of the @ESA_JUICE spacecraft we turned on our GALA instrument in space and everything worked as planned. A great success! Picture: laser pulse energies during the differnt test steps. All nominal. (DLR) (1/4)

What are the origins of the water that has made life on Earth possible?🌎 ☄️The NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope has enabled astronomers get one step closer to the answer by allowing them to detect water vapour around a comet in the main asteroid belt for the first time.… Show more

📷The densely packed globular cluster NGC 6325 glistens in this image from the NASA/ESA
@HUBBLE_space
Telescope. Though it might look peaceful, astronomers suspect this cluster could contain an intermediate-mass black hole that is subtly affecting the motion of surrounding… Show more
A dense cluster of bright stars. The core of the cluster is to the left and has a distinct group of blue stars. Surrounding the core are a multitude of stars in warmer colours. These stars are very numerous near the core and become more and more sparse, and more small and distant, out to the sides of the image. A few larger stars also stand in the foreground near the edges of the image.
