Successful lift-off for #Ariane6!🚀Yesterday, the new Ariane launcher dazzled us and reached low Earth orbit (LEO) 🤩 Congratulations to @ArianeGroup, @Arianespace, @CNES and @esa , who after years of work, are providing a brand new launcher and renewed European sovereign access to space. The first steps of historic journeys are never perfect, but what's important is to keep working towards success, and European sovereign access to space. We support @arianegroup and @arianeespace, and we will continue working with our partner @esa to reach our goal. We are looking forward to seeing what the future holds for European space alongside Ariane 6! #SpaceMatters

It may be wet today in French Guiana but this is no wet dress rehearsal. This evening, #Ariane6 will take flight for the first time, restoring Europe's autonomous access to space. Next step, fuelling.

Welcome to ESA, 🇸🇮! It has been quite an impressive journey for Slovenia, and this signature testifies to the sustained commitment of its successive governments both to space activities and to ESA. While the official accession to full ESA Member State will take place in January 2025, it is clear that we are entering a new era in the long-running relationship between ESA and Slovenia, with a transition period as New Member State to facilitate a successful integration. @vladaRS @MGTS_gov

🆕 Euclid has delivered yet again... Today, we release five never-before-seen, stunning images of galaxies and celestial phenomena provided by our Euclid telescope. They reveal an abundance of new science enabling scientists to hunt for rogue planets, use lensed galaxies to study matter, explore the evolution of our Universe and more. 🔗 esa.int/Science_Exploration/…
Composite image of five astronomical views, three at the top, two at the bottom. All are dotted with stars and galaxies against a black background. Striking features are three bright glowing structures in the first image. The second image has an orange veil-like structure spanning across. In the third we see a stunning spiral galaxy with many arms. The fourth image features light from galaxies lying behind a bright cluster distorted into arcs. And the fifth image shows a variety of galaxies in all shapes and sizes.
