There doesn't appear to be a likely counterpart at the moment, but people are still looking. This system is still very interesting though! It's chirp mass is likely quite low ~ 1.7, implying that it could be something like a 1.4 solar mass NS merging with a 2.7 solar mass BH.

First cherry blossoms in Kyoto, Japan have a record going back to the 9th Century. It shows:
- No trend and random noise till about 1800. Then,
- Exponential warming for the last two centuries.

These single site data from crude instrumentation track climate change very well.

🚨 I found 小型月着陸実証機SLIM using the Orbital high-resolution camera of ISRO on board Chandrayaan-2. The below picture was captured on 2024.03.16 at a pixel resolution of 16cm per pixel! Because of the low elevation of the sun, you see long-drawn shadows.

No, this breathtaking view of Jupiter wasn't taken by an astronomical satellite or an Earth-based telescope, but by our satellite #PléiadesNeo !🛰️

The Pléiades Neo satellites are usually exclusively focused on Earth, capturing every inch of our planet in great detail. But this

For what it's worth: a NASA presentation at a COSPAR planetary protection meeting this morning listed a Sept. 29 launch date for ESCAPADE, the Mars orbiter smallsat mission flying on Blue Origin's New Glenn.

Happy Birthday, Hubble!

On 24 April 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit around Earth. After a rocky beginning, the Hubble has given us a clear window into the Universe more than 30 years.

Electron gets all the attention, but every now and then the Kick Stage likes to slip into frame and remind us who delivers our customers' satellites to their precise, final orbits 🫡 👋

Update: The Shenzhou-18 crewed spaceship is scheduled to be launched at 8:59 p.m. Thursday (Beijing Time). It will carry three astronauts -- Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu -- to carry out the spaceflight mission, and Ye will be the commander xhtxs.cn/SVo

Great spacecraft engineering can go a long way!

CloudSat, a NASA Earth radar satellite that gave us never-before-seen details of clouds and advanced weather and climate predictions, has ended its scientific operations after nearly two decades of peering into the soul of our skies: go.nasa.gov/4dciO8S

We have confirmed deployment of the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System in low Earth orbit!

Next steps are powering up and making contact with the ground. Stay up to date by following along on our blog: go.nasa.gov/4b5FaY0

Mission success for our 47th Electron launch 🚀

Thank you to our mission partners NASA NASAAmes and KAISTPR. We're proud to deliver reliable and dedicated access to space for you!
