NASA’s Lucy mission will continue its journey to explore the Jupiter Trojan asteroids, which share Jupiter’s orbit around the ...

While tomorrow’s flybys are harmless, this vigilance is key to preventing any future threats from posing a risk to our planet. As per the report, the second asteroid, 2024 YF2, is comparatively ...

European Space Agency has now released a stunning video of the cosmic moment. During the flyby, BepiColombo traversed the cold, dark night side of Mercury. The spacecraft's onboard monitoring cameras, ...

The flyby images, all black-and-white 1024x1024 pixel snapshots, come from two M-CAM monitoring cameras on BepiColombo that are mostly there to monitor the spacecraft's solar panels, antenna and ...

The joint European-Japanese mission is only the second survey of Mercury, the least explored planet in the inner solar system.

It will take an energy-efficient path relying heavily on the Earth and moon's gravity in a winding series of flybys to steer its trajectory, similar to the Japanese space agency's SLIM which ...

This was its final planetary flyby until it enters orbit around the planet in late 2026. The video begins with BepiColombo's approach to Mercury, showing images taken by onboard monitoring cameras 1 ...

BepiColombo flew just 183 miles above ... was to record Mercury's surface during the flyby, which opens up further research opportunities. This was the last chance for the M-CAM cameras to capture ...

ESA/BepiColombo/MTM The European Space Agency (ESA)’s BepiColombo mission has made another flyby of Mercury, capturing fascinating images of this lesser-studied inner planet. On January 8 ...

“One needs a lot of fuel with a very big rocket for launch, or one can use the help of the planets and do planetary flybys,” adds Johannes Benkhoff, ESA BepiColombo Project Scientist.

A spacecraft named BepiColombo is currently zipping by planet Mercury, making a very close flyby and snapping incredible high-definition photos of our scorching hot solar system companion. Mercury is ...

are shedding new light on Mercury with the BepiColombo mission. The spacecraft executed its sixth and final gravity-assist flyby of the enigmatic planet, capturing some of the most detailed images ...
