After a ten-year journey and a long, deep sleep the Rosetta space probe will be woken up on 20 January, 2014. The vehicle then starts the last leg of its journey which will lead it to the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet. The Philae lander is to descend to the comet’s surface in November.
In the evening, the vehicle sent a signal to the control centre in Darmstadt.
Researchers and engineers from the Max Planck Institutes for Astronomy in Heidelberg and for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching near Munich. They are part of the Euclid consortium, which consists of research institutions in 17 countries. And they helped to develop and build the two instruments of the telescope, the optical camera (VIS, Visible Instrument) and the near-infrared camera (NISP, Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer). Another team from the two Max Planck Institutes, together with colleagues from other institutions, now ensures the operation of the telescope and the logistics and quality of the transmitted data.

When the astronauts of the Apollo 11 mission returned to Earth, they had almost 22 kilograms of rock from the surface of the moon in their baggage. Josef Zähringer from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg was one of the first researchers allowed to analyze the material in the US. Two months later, Heinrich Wänke’s team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz also received a grain.
In spring 2009, the space agency sent confirmation of their receipt.

More than 230 years ago the astronomer William Herschel discovered the planet Uranus and two of its moons. Now a group of astronomers led by Örs H. Detre of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy has succeeded in determining physical properties of the five main moons of Uranus with the Herschel Space Observatory. The measured infrared radiation, which is generated by the Sun heating their surfaces, suggests that these moons resemble dwarf planets like Pluto. The team developed a new analysis technique that extracted the faint signals from the moons next to Uranus, which is more than a thousand times brighter. The study was published today in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Observations of the exoplanet WASP-39b with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have yielded a wealth of information about the planet’s atmosphere – a whole new level of observational data, and a harbinger of how JWST will shape the study of exoplanet atmospheres in the future.
The launch of the JWST on 25 December 2021 sent waves of excitement through the astronomical
