Last week's Science in Action special from #EPSC2025 featured #SWRI's Hal Levison, @jhuapl.bsky.social's Haje Korth and NASA's solar system specialist Tom Statler talking about the many interplanetary missions watching 3I/Atlas as it goes behind the Sun next month.

My animation of Mercury's escaping sodium exosphere over the course of a Mercury year. The only thing that changes is the magnitude of radiation pressure which is a function of where Mercury is in its orbit. Without radiation pressure, nothing would escape.

Starts soon

Colin Wilson, our ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter project scientist at @esa.int showing off Mars Express, TGO, and LightShip updates. First TGO science story was our chlorine work!! Over 11 publications and counting!!
#EPSCDPS #EPSC2025 #planetsci #Mars 🔭🧪
Bethan Gregory showing off her hard work getting reactions on dust and ice surfaces for the chemistry of chlorine and ozone into the Planetary Climate Model!!
#EPSCDPS #EPSC2025 #planetsci #Mars 🔭🧪
Daniel Mège going over the HCl detections I made in the Martian atmosphere in the non-dusty times with hypotheses about surface seeps from a dormant volcano!!! 🌋
These are strange, found 'em every year, same place!
#EPSCDPS #EPSC2025 #planetsci #Mars 🔭🧪
And that's a wrap on SB15 astrophysics of small bodies!
Thanks to all the speakers. My first time co-chairing at #EPSC2025 #EPSCDPS2025, and I think it went pretty well :)
I can relax a bit more now, it has been another exhausting day!
Frank Montmessin giving a big overview of the very long lived and very successful SPICAM instrument on Mars Express.
That's over twenty years of data!!!
#EPSCDPS #EPSC2025 #planetsci
Busy day ahead at #EPSCDPS #EPSC2025! Co-chairing the final session of SB15 small bodies astrophysics from 16.30, catchings up with some old rings colleagues before that, and attending the @cometinterceptor.bsky.social splinter meeting over lunch, plus assorted comet and #JWST talks all day!
It is time for our session!! Do not miss the most ionized session at #EPSC2025!!!
View from the deck of a ferry with blue water, other boats and docks and city buildings visible behind. A large white cathedral stands over everything.
There was even a submarine. A distant sailing boat is framed by an old stone fort structure and the bow of a world war two submarine.
Beautiful green gardens in the sun, viewed through the stone cannon opening inside the fortress.
A meandering coastal path with cannons pointing out over a blue sea.
A great descision! We took the ferry (included in the #Helsinki transit ticket!) to Suomenlinna island. Beautiful in the sun today.
Now rested and ready for this afternoon's sessions!

Helbert: L4 may be focusing on Enceladus and Titan but it won't ignore the other moons. "If you go there you want to take a look around." That means a moon tour to understand the system. Including a glimpse at the possible moon world, Mimas!
#EPSCDPS2025 #EPSC2025
I'm now part of the 'Exploring the Saturn system' session (say that 5xs fast!).
Kicking off with an overview of the ESA L4 mission by Jörn Helbert

The recently identified ripples in the Amapari location on Mount Sharp suggests a very shallow lake, with a maximum depth of 2 meters. "This is a very shallow but laterally extensive lake." - Mondro

* looks at #EPSCDPS #EPSC2025 personalised programme for today*
Basically nothing all morning... 4 (four!) talks at the same time this afternoon...
Huh, ok...looks like sightseeing this morning then!
As Curiosity ascends Mount Sharp, the team expected to be in the climatic transition where Mars was drying out. "Evidence for surface water int his stratographic section was quite surprising." - Mondro
#EPSCDPS2025 #EPSC2025
Kicking off Tuesday morning at #EPSCDPS2025 with a (virtual) talk by Claire Mondo on Curiosity's progress on wave ripples
#EPSC2025
Kicking off the EPSC–DPS Meeting this morning at Finlandia Hall, Helsinki. Looking forward to a great week of planetary science! #EPSC2025 #Europlanet #Helsinki
Talk done. Some interest and questions, and a good session overall with 80 people at one point :)
Reminded why I prefer small, dedication meetings though. Absolutely no time to focus on any details as we rattle through talk after talk!
#EPSC2025 #EPSCDPS
Lead author, Constantinos Charalambous, is presenting at #EPSCDPS #EPSC2025 on Friday about impact events
Eiichiro Kokubo up to speak on A Fundamental Scaling Law for the Orbital Architecture of Planetary Systems Formed by Giant Impacts
#EPSC2025
Kleine - Meteorites form two compositional classes, differentiated CC and differentiated NC.

Do you want to know more about M-MATISSE? The team is at the #EPSC2025 conference and we will present different aspects of the mission, starting this afternoon with three consecutive talks, and a open session on Wednesday for all
Participants!
