Chang'e 5 samples of the Moon arrive in France
1.5 grams of lunar rock obtained by the #Chang'e 5 sample return mission were given to the French scientific community during a visit of the French president in China. These samples were collected on the lunar surface in the region of Oceanus Procellarum, where some of the youngest lava flows erupted about 2 billion years ago. The samples will be curated by the national museum of natural history in #Paris.
Lors de la visite du Président Emmanuel Macron en Chine en avril dernier, la délégation chinoise a donné à la communauté scientifique française des échantillons lunaires provenant de la mission spatiale chinoise Chang’e 5 partie en décembre 2020 sur la Lune.

The #JUICE spacecraft launched friday April 14, and one of the instruments onboard was #MAJIS (Moons And Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer) that was developed by the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (#IAS).
This image shows a picture of the Earth in the background and the MAJIS instrument in the foreground taken by the JUICE surveillance camera. The instrument will be turned on in just over a month, and will arrive at #Jupiter in 2031.
Now that we have a new home on solar system.social, it's time for a new #introduction!
