Looking back at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 (2025, 2024):
We had the great honor to host a new ESA mini #astronaut - that looks a bit like @Astro_Pablo_ESA - for few days at the camp, and then give it to Pablo! Thank you so much for accepting this little gift!
.. and this is a sort of tradition now, as @astro_marcus Wandt got his mini version in 2025, and it started in 2024 with @ESAastro_amelie Schoenenwald ! Thank you so much! And who will get an #ESA mini astronaut @playmobil figure during #ESASpaceCamp 2027?

Wonderful!
"Imagine a lion with the nose of a dying star, a mane of space dust and a habitat 10,000 light-years away from Earth. On its infrared galactic safari, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) just captured it on camera."

Once the Space Shuttle left orbit, it became a giant unpowered glider. 🚀
No go-around. No second attempt.
It reentered at roughly 28,000 km/h, descended far more steeply than an airliner and touched down near 350 km/h.
There’s a reason it was called “the flying brick.”
