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.

Molten #planets and early #atmospheres in the #lab: #mpsgoettingen scientist C…

Christian Renggli receives an ERC Starting Grant. The photograph shows Christian on a rooftop terrace with the window front of a building in the background. Christian is looking straight into the camera and is smiling.
In the Knudsen cell (the small white cylinder right next to the tweezers), only a few millimeters in size, an equilibrium is established between molten rock and evaporating gas. The gas is then analyzed in the quadrupole mass spectrometer. The photograph shows Christian operating the elaborate laboratory setup.
