Great story = volcanoes did not do anything to dino’s.

Congratulations to the fantastic team led by Katerina Rodiouchkina and all co-authors Steven Goderis, Philippe Claeys VUB, Pim Kaskes☄️, @michaelernstbottcher ... contributing to this exciting discovery ☄️🦕🦖Thanks FWO and Belspo for the support! Paper: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Article: The Martian dichotomy boundary receded hundreds of km in the Mawrth Vallis region and left behind mounds that record changing aqueous conditions during the Noachian Dr. Joe McNeil Peter Fawdon Matt Balme Natural History Museum nature.com/articles/s4156…

I am happy to announce the publication of the final part of my The Open University PhD work, which has been expanded during my UK Space Agency postdoc Natural History Museum: "Dichotomy retreat and aqueous alteration on Noachian Mars recorded in highland remnants”, in Nature Geoscience.

On 12 March the #HeraMission will perform a Mars gravity assist flying at about 5000km altitude and 300km from Deimos. The trajectory was actually corrected to enable this close passage of Deimos, we hope to image it with our hyperspectral camera #planetarydefense 🦖

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

NASA says there's now a 3.1% chance that asteroid 2024 YR4 will hit Earth in 2032 This is the highest risk assessment an asteroid has ever received

Hera’s first view of Mars! On 12 March, Hera will use Mars’s gravity to take a shortcut to the Didymos binary asteroid system, where it will help turn asteroid deflection into a reliable method for defending Earth.

The science of global warming beautifully and simply explained by Dr. Carl Sagan, ca. 1985.

As our Hera asteroid mission flies by Mars tomorrow, it will image Deimos - the smaller and more enigmatic of the two martian Moons - from as close as 1000 km away. Images will be unveiled at our livestream on Thursday! esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…

At 13:51 CET today our asteroid detective Hera comes just 5000 km from Mars - the latest stop in her cosmic roadtrip! Hera will snap Mars & its Deimos moon, but has to turn around to send these pics back to Earth – to be shown in our livestream tomorrow, featuring @AndyWeirAuthor

Our #HeraMission science team, including Dr. Brian May of Queen, were amazed as the first images came in from the spacecraft's gravity-assist flyby of Mars and martian moon Deimos - see why here: esa.int/Space_Safety/H…

#HeraMission #Mars flyby… and here is #Deimos, so beautiful 🤩 the spacecraft is nominal and now heading to its final destination #didymos

🎬🦖☄️🤠 Check out the interview by Cem Berk Senel and me with some more background on our DOCVILLE Filmfest documentary 'de dag dat het zonlicht niet meer scheen', that will be released tonight! VUB Archaeology, Environmental Changes & Geo-Chemistry ➡️vub.be/en/news/docu-s…

Excited as the premiere approaches tonight! Huge thanks to Archaeology, Environmental Changes & Geo-Chemistry, FWO, Observatory.be ... and to Prof. Philippe Claeys Philippe Claeys VUB for his guidance and insights that propelled this dino-extinction asteroid impact research ☄️🌎🦖

All great, but #4 is my fave 🌪️

Check out our new paper showing that Active Hydrothermal System within the Chicxulub crater helped life recovery after the impact of the Dino-Killing Asteroid nature.com/articles/s4146…

The dinosaurs went extinct because they didn't have a space program. But we do. Our newest documentary, "Planetary Defenders," shows how we find, track, and mitigate asteroids. Available now in its entirety on X.
