Fascinating discovery of possible lava flows on Venus from legacy Magellan data - augurs well for our upcoming @esa @esascience #EnVision mission to Venus that will map from upper atmosphere to planet core, with contributions from our @NASA friends. esa.int/Science_Explor…

It’s official, I have been adopted! Time to celebrate!
ESA Science@esascience

📢 @ESA adopts two ambitious space science missions: Venus voyager #EnVision and gravitational wave surfer #LISA. “These trailblazing missions will take us to the next level in two extraordinarily exciting areas of space science and keep European researchers at the forefront of these domains,” says ESA Director of Science @CGMundell The ‘adoption’ step recognises that the missions' concept and technology are sufficiently advanced, and gives the go-ahead to build the instruments and spacecraft. Both spacecraft are planned to launch with an #Ariane6

Take another trip through Mars’s ‘labyrinth of night’ 🌚 It's a place unlike any other in the Solar System, with deep valleys and canyons stretching up to 30 km wide and 6 km deep. Zoom in on a detailed new #MarsExpress image to explore it in all its glory👉esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… #SolarSystemExplorers
