What a wonderful time we had yesterday! Our doors were open to the public to celebrate our 60-year anniversary. Scientists and engineers were giving tours and lectures, and an #exhibition was opened, which can still be seen until December 2nd or here 👉 aeronomie.be/en/60-years-re…

#OnThisDay, exactly 10 years ago, the #Philae-lander of the European #Rosetta #spacemission successfully landed on the #comet Chury. Our Institute contributed to the mission with the #Rosina-instrument onboard Rosetta, and is also involved in the future #CometInterceptor mission.

Today we are involved in many projects regarding space physics and space weather, and even try to make it touchable for the blind with the project #ATouchOfSpaceWeather #ATOS

BIRA-IASB is soon celebrating its 60-year anniversary. It was founded in 1964 and gradually grew in research domains and instrument expertise. In 1975, the scientists of the institute began their research into the interaction between the #solarwind and the Earth's magnetosphere.

1983: BIRA-IASB's first #space experiments take place during the #SPACELAB mission, Europe's first #spacelaboratory Among the scientific experiments were three from the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy: 1️⃣GRILLE spectrometer 2️⃣SOLSPEC 3️⃣ALAE

#BIRA_IASB60years 1995: Launch of the #ERS2 mission. On board, the #GOME (Global #ozone Monitoring Experiment) spectrometer. The Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB) is contributing to the analysis of the data for the study of the atmosphere.

BIRA-IASB It started with a welcome by Arnaud Vajda

Big happening #planetariumbrussels tonight! We're celebrating #BIRA_IASB60years with #ArnaudVajda and our new director Ann Carine Vandaele Dr. Ann C Vandaele

Another #BIRA_IASB60years celebration with a speed dating event at the #PlanetariumBrussels last night. What better way to spend a cold Friday evening than with the researchers and engineers of the Royal Belgian Institute for #SpaceAeronomy ! #spacescience Belspo

Today, November 25, is the #InternationalDayForTheEliminationOfViolenceAgainstWomen At this occasion, BIRA-IASB signed the pledge for zero tolerance to #GenderBasedViolence in academia and research, promoted by the European Union aeronomie.be/en/news/2024/i…

#OnThisDay, November 25th in 1964, exactly 60 years ago, Marcel Nicolet took the initiative to seperate the #Aeronomy department from KMI IRM, founding the Institute for #SpaceAeronomy, and also becoming its first director #BIRA_IASB60years

Last week, a few secondary schools came to visit our Institute. Our scientists and engineers gave them tours of the outdoor exhibition and the labs, and presented all the areas of our research on Earth's climate 🌍, its atmosphere, and those of other planets 🪐 #STEMEducation

🌠🔭Le pic des #Géminides aura lieu la nuit du 13 et 14 déc. La présence de la Lune sera forte, mais, dans un lieu très sombre avec un ciel dégagé, vous pourrez observer des #météores. Plus d'infos sur cette page de BIRA-IASB : aeronomie.be/fr/encyclopedi… #astronomie

🌠🔭 Het maximum van de #Geminiden piekt op 13-14 december. De Maan zal sterk aanwezig zijn, maar op een hele donkere plek met een heldere hemel kun je #meteoren waarnemen. Wil je meer weten? Lees deze pagina van BIRA-IASB: aeronomie.be/nl/encyclopedi… #sterrekunde

On 16-17/10, 2017, striking red and yellow skies were seen across Northern Europe. Our scientist Sophie Vandenbussche attributed the phenomena to Saharan dust swept north by #StormOphelia, the most easterly severe hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic shorturl.at/G3bFj
