(1/3)In 1610, #Galileo was the first ever to observe Saturn's rings. But he didn't realize what he saw. He thought it consisted of three bodies that were almost in contact but which never moved or changed with respect to one another. We know this from a letter he wrote to the Duke of Tuscany.
Parts box for Eket Top line reads "E1/E5" which are the names of 2 broadcast bands of the Galileo navigation satellites.

#RocketLab has deployed #ESA’s Celeste mission to 510 km. The #LEO satellites will test new navigation signals to bolster the #Galileo system.

¡Celeste está en órbita! 🚀
Los dos primeros satélites de demostración de la ESA se han lanzado con éxito a bordo de Electron de Rocket Lab desde Nueva Zelanda. Inician pruebas de una capa #LEO complementaria para #Galileo, mejorando la resiliencia y nuevos servicios PNT 👇 www.esa.int/Newsroom/Pre...
Celeste est en orbite ! 🚀
Les 2 premiers satellites de démonstration #Celeste de l’ESA ont été lancés avec succès depuis la Nouvelle-Zélande.
Objectif : tester une couche #LEO complémentaire pour #Galileo et développer de nouveaux services PNT.

Quote by Galileo in a golden lamdscape
"Wine is sunlight, held together by water"
~ Galileo Galilei, 17th-century Italian astronomer and physicist

(4/5)The outer surface chars& erodes, taking heat with it. The remaining C layer acts as a thermal barrier...What we learned from #Galileo: (1) #Europa likely has a subsurface salty ocean. (2) Io is the most volcanically active world ever seen (3) Ganymede has its own magnetic field
(1/5)Delivered into Earth orbit on October 18, 1989, by Space Shuttle Atlantis, #Galileo was an American robotic space probe that studied the planet #Jupiter and its moons, as well as the asteroids Gaspra and Ida.
#Apollo15: Scott held out a hammer & a feather & dropped them at the same time. Because there was no air resistance , the feather fell at the same rate as the hammer, as #Galileo had concluded 100s of yrs before. youtu.be/KDp1tiUsZw8?...
Evangelista Torricelli is credited with discovering #atmosphericPressure, building directly on ideas from his teacher #Galileo Galilei. Centuries later, people misunderstand his idea when they hear things like, "Water got sucked into to the straw". t.co/YIIwwrxMp1
We tend to overidealize some historical figures, but revisionist history at its worse can distort the #historyOfScience. #Galileo t.co/yZk0WlrcyX

Celeste is in orbit!🚀 ESA’s first two #Celeste demo satellites have successfully launched on RocketLab’s Electron from New Zealand, starting tests of a complementary #LEO layer for #Galileo to boost resilience and unlock new PNT services.

"As #Galileo predicted, much of our prediction of the world is based not on vague, qualitative descriptions but on detailed mathematical models &numerical simulations." -Mario Livio: "He'd have resisted any attempt to exclude either the humanities or sciences from human culture."
"It is fitting that Marcellini immortalized #Galileo, who understood that humans need both the humanities & sciences. Science explains & predicts the universe; literature & art provide out heartfelt response to Earth & the stars." -Mario Livio
Donald Phillip Verene argues that Vico’s work represents the "first great work of modern society," providing a science of the civil world as a complement to Galileo’s science of the natural world.

YUKAWA: If u were in my seminar, y would absolutely get a D grade.
UTSUMI: I can’t believe he’s even human!
#GALILEO 101 #TV
TV: CLARICE - THE LAPD DETECTIVE =)
U: That’s when I vowed to become a detective. I wanted to catch all the bad guys in the world.
Y: I can’t believe she’s even human.
A meme using a space photograph showing Earth's curved surface dominating the left side of the frame, with the Moon visible as a smaller sphere in the lower right against a black background. White bold text at the top reads "A SATELLITE AIN'T EVEN THAT FAR..." and at the bottom reads "I KINDA WONDER WHERE YOU ARE," which are lyrics from Olivia Dean's song Man I Need.
listening to music as a person with an interest in #astronomy is like:
