✨ IAU-WGSN Star Names 2025 ✨
In 2025, the IAU-WGSN adopted 40 new star names, up from 19 in 2024. These names reflect rich cultural roots—from Indigenous, Arabic, Chinese, and classical traditions. Mapped using Gaia DR2. 🌌

We just finished a Zoom presentation with @AuthorSSlade for the release of her book “MARS IS” and want to thank her and @PoliticsProse for the opportunity to talk about Mars and HiRISE!
NASA Perseverance on the Ground in Color
Perseverance can be seen in this enhanced HiRISE color image at its landing site, six days after touchdown, doing system checks. The site appears to be covered in loose dark material with brighter material underneath.

Like the Ramans, HiRISE does things in 3s! We’ve successfully imaged hardware descending three times: Phoenix in 2008 (top); Curiosity in 2012 (middle); and now, Perseverance!

I always wanted to do this since I first saw the Piqiang Fault, NW China (21x13km) 😀 @CopernicusEU#Sentinel2 🛰️ Feb.2021 | #EO#SciComm#OpenData
#EUSpace for #DigitalEU#Copernicus 🇪🇺🛰️ supplies more than 10TB of #OpenData every day
In order to simplify access to it, @EU_Commission co-funds 5 cloud-based platforms known as the DIAS
They facilitate use of the data & offer #EarthObservation data processing & analytics
Random Series | Strait of Hormuz 👉👈
Between the Persian Gulf & the Gulf of Oman (167km long) it is one of the world's most strategically important choke points. #Iran#Oman#UnitedArabEmirates@CopernicusEU#Sentinel3 🛰️ 2021-01-28

Третий по величине город #Иран'а — #Исфахан, в котором находится множество памятников исламской архитектуры 11-19 веков. В Иране его называют «Половина мира».
Why is the BeautifulMars Project in Persian meaningful to you?
“The BeautifulMars Project is the first step to introduce the Red Planet in different languages of the world and this is very valuable.”
M. Sadegh Faghanpour, @HiRISEPersian volunteer
Thank you, Sadegh!
Our STEREO mission also spotted #CometNEOWISE on June 24. The comet was visible in the spacecraft's field of view because of a special observing campaign: STEREO underwent a 180-degree roll on June 24 in order to observe the star Betelgeuse. https://t.co/joAmMASS7I
