🥳#HappyBirthday#MPE!🎂
Today, our institute turns6⃣0⃣! Founded on May 15 1963, MPE since then is renowned for cutting-edge research and achieved countless milestones – some will be shown over the next weeks!
Stay tuned, send greetings & celebrate with us! #60yearsMPE#MPE60🤗
As part of an #Erasmus program, students from schools in @GOchsenhausen (���🇪), Maastricht (🇳🇱), Hlucin (🇨🇿), @MoncalieriTO (🇮🇹) and Montarnaud (🇫🇷) visited #MPE last week. They learned a lot about the search for #exoplanets and built their own #spectrograph with 3D-printed parts.
🤗🥳Congratulations to Dr. Esra Bulbul for receiving the @AAS_HEAD#MidCareerAward! Dr. Bulbul is leader of the cluster & cosmology group at #MPE and was honoured for her transformative contributions to #astrophysics using @eROSITA_SRG#eROSITA data.

🤗🥳👏Congrats to Hannah Übler on her @ERC_Research#StartingGrant!
Her project "APEX" focuses on observing the universe’s first billion years, providing unprecedented insight into galaxy formation 🪐🌟and the origins of supermassive #BlackHoles! ⚫️

Discover a 3D map of our cosmic neighborhood! Using the @eROSITA_SRG#eROSITA xray #spacetelescope 🛰️, #MPE researchers detected temperature differences & structural asymmetries within our Local Hot Bubble LHB, probably shaped by past supernovae events💥

🆕 Are you ready to see the Universe like you've never seen it before?
Today, our Euclid mission reveals the first piece of its great map of the Universe, showing millions of stars and galaxies.
This first chunk of the map, which is a huge mosaic of 208 gigapixels, contains 260 observations made in just two weeks!
This mosaic accounts for just 1% of the wide survey that Euclid will capture over six years.
Are you ready for the first 1% of #ESAEuclid's map?
This huge mosaic of 208 gigapixels contains observations taken in just two weeks of around 100 million sources: stars in the Milky Way & galaxies beyond.
Access it here 👉https://t.co/IBXjRJw1JV and let's zoom in 🧵👇
🪐Today, @ESA_Euclid unveils the first glimpse of its cosmic atlas! Covering an area 500x the size of the full moon, #Euclid's high-res map reveals millions of stars and galaxies. #MPE & the whole @EC_Euclid is thrilled to be part of this journey!
