ESA’s space probe #JUICE is headed towards a truly unexpected encounter: on November 2nd, observations of interstellar object #3IATLAS will begin. Read more about contributions from #mpsgoettingen

JUICE and 3I/ATLAS: An Unexpected Encounter in Space
3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar object to date, is currently traveling through the Solar System and reached its closest point to the Sun yesterday. In the next days, 3I/ATLAS is barely visible from Earth. ESA's spacecraft JUICE, however, is now launching a dedicated observation campaign. With the help of the JUICE’s scientific instruments, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) hope to learn more about the water on 3I/ATLAS.

For ESA’s mission #Vigil to forecast dangerous space weather, #mpsgoettingen is providing one of the key instruments: Vigil's Photospheric Magnetic Field Imager. Read more about the instrument and the science we plan to do with it here:

ESA’s Space Probe Vigil to Warn of Solar Storms
The ESA Ministerial Council has now decided on the further roadmap for the Vigil space mission. The space probe is expected to detect and potentially forecast hazardous space weather from 2031 onwards. Vigil observes the Sun from a previously unused observation position. This extends the warning time for solar storms by up to five days. Vigil's Photospheric Field Imager (PMI) is being developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany…

#MPSGoettingen wishes you happy holidays and a healthy and successful New Year 2026!
Featuring prominently on our season's greetings card: the first images of the Sun's south pole 🛰️ ☀️
During its flyby of the Sun at the end of March this year, the Solar Orbiter space probe had its first clear view of our star's poles. Solar Orbiter's trajectory has recentl…

Towards the bottom of the disk, a map is superimposed that is labelled "Sol Australis Incognita". At the bottom right just outside the disk, a space craft has been inserted, and below that centered the words "Season‘s Greetings".
