Weighing 3.3 metric tons, the @NSF Inouye Solar Telescope's 75mm-thick Zerodur glass mirror is shaped by 142 actuators to counteract gravity’s pull, solar heating, and other distortions. The actuators are part of the Inouye’s advanced optical system to keep our solar view clear!

Have you seen the 1:35 scale model of the EST structure and enclosure? 🔭☀️ For more images, check out the EST Image Gallery 👉 est-east.eu/est-gallery 🙌👏

ESPD prizes nomination deadline extended: April 14th! We would like to encourage the community to nominate colleagues in all these prizes and particularly for the ESPD Kees Zwaan Inspirational Community Prize! Check out our page for more info! eps.org/members/group_…

🚨Now on the ESA #SpaceWeather Portal🚨 An update on the Use of L5 Data in CME propagation Models The update includes the progress made in the assessment of future data usage coming from the 🌍-🌞 Lagrange Point 5. This data has been analysed in relation to CME characterisation and propagation modelling across seven use cases, including sensitivity tests. 🌐swe.ssa.esa.int/use-of-l5-data…

📣 Exciting opportunity for students! 👩‍🎓 The ESA Education Office is thrilled to sponsor up to three tertiary education students to attend the International Symposium on Defect and Fault Tolerance in VLSI and Nanotechnology Systems (DFT 2025) as part of the ESA Academy Conference Student Sponsorship programme. 🛰️ 👩‍💻 This symposium is an international platform covering fault-tolerant computing, Artificial Intelligence-powered hardware innovations, and cutting-edge nanotechnology solutions for next-generation systems. 🚀 Don’t miss this chance to join the global space community and build connections! ✨ ➡️ Find out the details and apply now: dfts.org/grants.htm #StudentOpportunity #Sponsorship #ESA #ESAAcademy

#IWD2025 is an important day to celebrate women's social, economic, cultural & political achievements, but it's also a good occasion to call for gender equality. #SheFigures describes what women researchers face, but also highlights ideas to help. 🔗 europa.eu/!HtThX3

🚨Updates from ESA Space Weather Office🚨 🔴SOSMAG/GK2A 🔴EDRS-C/NGRM, and 🔴Sentinel-6-MF/NGRM datasets in both the SWE Data Browser and HAPI have 🆕 names and identifiers. The new dataset names are grouped into the D3S repository and follow the D3S naming scheme. 🌐swe.ssa.esa.int/esa-space-weat… Please note that until Portal release 3.14, both the old and the new datasets provide the exact same data. Please find the details of the renaming on the respective instrument pages.

The EST Heat Rejecter manages solar radiation at the telescope’s prime focus, preventing thermal plumes and ensuring stable optical conditions. Its HR mirror uses a cooling system to maintain temperature control and protect the subsystems🌞🔭🔗 est-east.eu/heat-rejecter

📣 Exciting opportunity for students! 👩‍🎓 The ESA Education Office is thrilled to sponsor up to 4 tertiary education students to attend the European Data Handling & Data Processing Conference 2025 in the frame of the ESA Academy Conference Student Sponsorship programme. 🛰️ 👩‍💻 This conference will be an international forum covering diverse aspects of the most relevant topics for on-board computers, data handling systems, data processing, and microelectronics for space applications.  🚀 Don’t miss this chance to join the space global community and build connections! ✨ ➡️ Find out the details and application process here: atpi.eventsair.com/cmspreview/edh… #StudentOpportunity #Sponsorship #ESA

🌞 PUNCH = A GIANT Solar Telescope in Space! (Sorta. 😆) Y’all. 🤯 How do you study something as MASSIVE as the solar wind? You build a TELESCOPE THE SIZE OF EARTH. 🌍🔭 …Except we can’t do that, so instead, NASA’s PUNCH mission is launching 4 small satellites that work together as one giant camera! 🚀💥 💨 PUNCH will track space storms & solar wind like never before! 🔥 We’re about to get 3D views of coronal mass ejections (CMEs)! ⚡ Better space weather forecasts = PROTECTING satellites & astronauts! 🚀 Launch: Thursday, March 7, 2025 – Don’t miss it! (Time subject to updates!) 📺 Watch Live: youtube.com/watch?v=qkTcmQ… 🔗 Details: bit.ly/sunpunch IT’S GONNA BE WILD. 🌞🔥🚀 #PUNCHMission #NASAScience #SolarWind #SpaceStorms #TheSunToday
