ESA CHEOPS – Characterising Exoplanet Satellite

This Halloween 🎃 we're going trick or treating to some of the creepiest cosmic landscapes we've come across this past year 👻 Come along with us! 🧵 1⃣ Webb's eerie view of the Horsehead Nebula Access the original image here 👉esa.int/Science_Explor…

🆕 Have astronomers detected the first ever extrasolar ‘glory’? 🌈 Potential signs of the rainbow-like ‘glory effect’ have been detected on a hellish planet outside our Solar System. 🤝 The team used data from @ESA_CHEOPS & other missions 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…

🪐 Are you an exoplanet or stellar researcher? Do you need space-based observations of your target? You are in luck! 📭 The CHEOPS Guest Observers Programme is open for your proposals as of today! 🔭 Submit to the 5th Announcement of Opportunity here: cosmos.esa.int/web/cheops-gue…

Happy #InternationalWomensDay ! On this occasion, we've caught up with three women in key positions @ESA, including our very own @CGMundell , Director of Science. Discover Prof. Mundell's views on gender equality and learn more about our current Science Programme strategy, Cosmic Vision, and the upcoming Voyage 2050 👇 #IWD2024

Moving to the next stage! #PlatoMission has passed its spacecraft critical design review on March 5th, meaning the spacecraft design and predicted performance meet the mission requirements 🥳 cosmos.esa.int/web/plato/plat…

Discovering an exoplanet is just the beginning. @ESA_CHEOPS is the first ever space mission designed to go after known exoplanets to unveil their precise sizes, masses and even atmospheres. How will it do that? Discover here 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor… #ExoplanetExplorers

🌌 Scientific Opportunities: CHEOPS offers ultra-high precision photometry for exoplanet transits, eclipses, occultations, and more. Or even to explore exomoons, ring structures, stellar activity, and trans-Neptunian objects!

🔭 Observing Cycle: Selected proposals will be part of the observation period from 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2025.

🚀 Exciting news for CHEOPS Guest Observers (GO)! 🌟 Save The Date for our 5th Announcement of Opportunity (AO-5)! 📅 Key Dates: AO-5 is foreseen to open on 12 March 2024 (12:00 CET/CEST) and close on 25 April 2024 (12:00 CET/CEST).

Interested in planets? 🪐🌎 Then you can't miss the Summer School Alpbach 2024, where you'll discover everything about giant #planets and their #moons! Sixty #students will be selected for this ten-day learning opportunity held in the beautiful Austrian Alps, gaining a unique learning experience with stimulating lectures on space science and engineering, and working intensely within four groups to define and design a space mission under the supervision of experts. Apply here 👉 summerschoolalpbach.at

1/ A rare star system with 6 #exoplanets has been unlocked with the help of our @ESA_Cheops mission A special discovery because the planets’ orbital configuration shows that the system is largely unchanged since formation more than a billion years ago 👉esa.int/Science_Explor…

Ein Exoplanet, den es eigentlich nicht geben dürfte. @M_N_Guenther und @ESA_CHEOPS

@planetum_cz @esa @KlingaSimon Fantastic work! What an incredible #HackAnExoplanet event, and what a talented, motivated group of outstanding space scientists in this picture! 👏 Thanks for joining and helping CHEOPS unveil the secrets of these exoplanets 🤩

@esa @ESA_CHEOPS @KlingaSimon A 🪐 tým C/2022 E3 ZTH z Prahy: hackanexoplanet.esa.int/project.../ent… jejich web: hacktoi560c.blogspot.com Za celý organizační tým všem oceněným srdečně blahopřejeme a všechny zúčastněné týmy musíme pochválit za jejich nasazení a skvěle odvedenou práci! 💙

Ti dnešní mladí se akorát tak zapojují do projektů @esa a zcela dominují! V Planetum jsme uspořádali akce spojené se vzdělávacím projektem Hack an Exoplanet. V rámci něj soutěžní týmy zpracovávaly data z teleskopu @ESA_CHEOPS a pátrali po exoplanetách. A vyplatilo se!

Data from #ESACheops revealed new details about an #exoplanet that shouldn’t exist! This shiniest planet known to date has the size of Neptune, has a dayside temp of 2000 °C and metallic clouds. Read more 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…
