Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart – Week 2023/45–673b

Afgelopen twee weken waren er de niet-onbelangrijke European Space Summit, de eerste haarscherpe EUCLID opnames en de meer dan verrassende beelden van de planetoïde Dinkinesh. Dat en nog veel veel meer in dit tweede deel van het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week. 


Het eerste deel
(met de lanceringen, het raketnieuws en uiteraard ook nog Starship) vind je hier.


Bij de foto: De sonde Lucy fotografeerde op weg naar de Jupiter Trojanen planetoïde Dinkinesh. Dat Dinkinesh een maantje bleek te hebben, was niet helemaal een verrassing. Maar niemand had dit soort van maantje in gedachte. Foto: NASA/Goddard/SwRI/Johns Hopkins APL
