Did you know that Europlanet holds monthly webinars on a range of topics from science to policy, diversity and outreach? Quarterly webinars are also co-organised with the Science Team of the ESA Juice mission. You can rewatch them on our YouTube channels!
I'm curious who else is taking the @europlanetmedia.bsky.social GMAP Winter School this week!
It would be nice to connect with fellow students, since our interaction online seems limited.
Developed through EC-funded Europlanet projects, and hosted and maintained by the Observatory of Paris, VESPA is freely available to researchers and the general public: vespa.obspm.fr/planetary/da...
VESPA (Virtual European Solar and Planetary Access) is a web-based search interface to identify and access planetary science and heliophysics data provided by the science community.
The deadline is TODAY!
