An interview with Holger Sierks from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research on the end of the Rosetta mission.
Was there no danger of the probe bouncing back into space because of the low gravity
The researchers are hoping that the landing on the comet’s nucleus will provide them with unique insights into the early history of the planetary system.
The danger otherwise is that it will bounce back up again like a rubber ball.
Jana Wäldchen and her team from the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry have played a key role in developing the plant identification app, Flora Incognita. We discussed with her how being able to identify different plants contributes to species diversity, which plant species are particularly under threat and how non-native species are suppressing local plants.
A particularly large number of species groups that are under threat or in danger

The sight of a bright comet has fascinated people at all times. But what is behind such a celestial spectacle? It was only in modern times that researchers discovered the phenomenon – by which time the tail stars had already had a long career as bringers of bad luck or divine messengers.
Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, however, poses no danger to Earth.
In the discussion about the climate crisis, there is a lot of talk about tipping points. One example is deforestation in the Amazon. In early August, eight countries in the Amazon met for a summit on the future of the rainforest. In this interview, Susan Trumbore, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, uses her research on the ground to explain how realistic a tipping point is in the Amazon ecosystem and whether the Amazon Summit will bring change.
Activist groups also remind us almost daily of the danger of these tipping points
