#Asteroid Donaldjohanson

Lucy spacecraft snapped a close-up of asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson, an 8 km long main belt asteroid, from 1100 km away. Named after the discoverer of the Lucy fossil, this contact binary formed from a gentle collision. Lucy will visit #Jupiter's Trojans after touring the main belt.

Look up and smile!
Tonight, April 25, the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus will align in a rare celestial formation that looks just like a smiley face in the sky. This joyful cosmic event is best seen just after sunset—don’t miss this little moment of magic from the universe.

#Moon Shadow on #Jupiter

Juno spacecraft captures a high-res image of Ganymede's shadow on Jupiter. This common occurrence is akin to lunar eclipses on Earth, but happens more frequently on the gas giant. Juno's close flyby also sheds light on Jupiter's mysteries, like its expanding auroras.

"This result suggests that in Jupiter-like orbits, most planetary systems may not mirror our solar system," said co-author Youn Kil Jung of the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, which operates the KMTNet."

I'm thinking big ol' Jupiter might hold the key as to why the inner Solar System is the way it is and why it's different from most other systems we know of so far.

It's the #DayOfZeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday!

"If anyone blame me because, a skilled servant of Eros, I go to the chase, my eyes armed with birdlime to catch ladies, let him know that #Zeus and #Hades and the Lord of the Sea [#Poseidon] were slaves of violent desire. If the gods are such and they bid men follow their example, what wrong do I do in learning their deeds?"

#Jupiter's #Atmosphere is a Wild Place

[Focus sur #HiRISE] Installé depuis près de deux ans sur le Very Large Telescope (#VLT) de l' @esoastronomy (European Southern Observatory), l'instrument HiRISE vient de caractériser, avec une précision inégalée, la jeune #exoplanète AF Lep b. La mesure directe de la lumière émise a permis de déterminer la composition de son #atmosphere ainsi que la vitesse à laquelle elle décrit son orbite autour de son étoile hôte. Il est ainsi apparu que cette exoplanète était similaire à #Jupiter dans notre Système Solaire.

AF Lep b n’est que la première cible du relevé HiRISE commencé en 2023. D’ici quelques années, toutes les planètes géantes connues en imagerie auront été observées avec HiRISE, ce qui permettra de tester de manière statistique les liens entre composition, vitesse de rotation et mode de formation.
