At AGATA, we work remotely. That’s why, every few months, the whole team gets together in person. 😊This time, we met in the lovely village of Valdelaguna, in Madrid, Spain. We spent four days swapping our day-to-day work for more dynamic activities. 🧵 👇

48 horas en la Guayana Francesa, rodeada de selva amazónica y tecnología, en el Puerto Espacial de Kurú @cnes.fr. Así fue vivir un lanzamiento de la @esa.int. En este caso de los satélites FLEX y Sentinel-3C, que ya vigilan nuestras cosechas, océanos e incendios. ¡Qué fuerte la ciencia espacial! 🚀🛰️💚

Sigo indignadísimo con esto; cada vez que un influencer llama al queso fresco este “queso cotáash” me dan microinfartos y muere un gatito. Que pare esta moda por favor.

As we've learnt during the #AGATAEclipse series, the way we look at eclipses has changed throughout history. In the past, the sudden darkness of the sky in broad daylight was often terrifying. Stay tuned for the last post of our series tomorrow, which explores one of the most menacing myths. (1/14)

We’re going back to the Moon! 🚀🌕 NASA’s #ArtemisII mission is set to launch, carrying four astronauts to the far side of the satellite. However, they won’t land on its surface — at least not for now. This ten-day round trip will serve as a test ahead of the Artemis IV Moon landing mission in 2028.

Really cool stuff by @pappasgroup.bsky.social in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social – chiral chemical fuels drive molecules to self-assemble into different structures, depending on handedness 🧬 My latest for @chemistryworld.com 👉🏼 www.chemistryworld.com/news/chiral-... #ChemSky #RealTimeChem #Chemistry

Chiral chemical fuels trigger two very different supramolecular self-assemblies
