Congratulations to Heike Rauer! 🎉
I had the pleasure of experiencing her work firsthand in a colloquium at my former institute while I was still a student, and I remember her as an outstanding #planetary scientist. A very well-deserved recognition!
A personal highlight for me was of course the full-scale model of the #HubbleSpaceTelescope ❤️🔭

I seem to be in a bit of a #space mood 🪐🔭 at the moment 😅, so I remembered that I once visited the #Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC and wrote a short blog post about it. I thought I would share it again here:

✨🔭 If you're interested in learning more about #SpaceScience in the region, I have two older posts about a visit I made with my former institute to the #Effelsberg #RadioTelescope ( @MPIfR_Bonn) and the #Stockert radio telescope ( #Astropeiler).
Here's the link to the Effelsberg post:

✨🔭 Interesting news from outer space: #Cassini data plus global #MHD #simulations show that #Saturn’s cusp is not noon-centered like #Earth’s, but shifted toward the post-noon and even post-dusk sector. Xu, Yao, & Arridge et al. identify 67 cusp events and argue that rapid rotation plus internal #plasma sources fundamentally reshape Saturn’s global magnetic topology:
🛰️ New paper by Knowles et al.: Using the #JWST, the authors observed rapid variability in the auroral footprints of #Jupiter’s #moons in Jupiter’s #atmosphere.
IR observations show that the footprints of moons like #Io can change on short timescales, highlighting the dynamic interaction between Jupiter’s #magnetosphere and its satellites. The moon–magnetosphere coupling driving Jupiter’s #aurora is more variable than previously assumed.
