The outreach team at #Iastro (@cienciasulisboa.bsky.social) made a video about our work on atmospheric gravity waves on #Mars, using data from the #HRSC camera aboard #MarsExpress. The video is in Portuguese and includes auto-translated English subtitles.

My 6th #EPSC already! Grateful to share results on Martian gravity waves with OMEGA, HRSC and CaSSIS, and even more for old friends, new colleagues and inspiring talks and conversations that make @europlanetmedia.bsky.social always special.✨

Morphological and Dynamical Analysis of Atmospheric Gravity Waves on Mars Using Mars Express HRSC Observations
We catalog 146 gravity wave packets; 114 have morphology, 100 cloud top heights, and 11 include winds and vertical wavelength HRSC multi-channel and short-interval repeats retrieve cloud top heig...

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.
