In October 2025, engineers fitted the sunshield and solar panels, completing the construction of #ESAPlato.

The mission is on track for the final key tests to confirm that it is fit for launch on an Ariane 6, in December 2026.

A large satellite is positioned inside a brightly lit cleanroom. The sides of the satellite’s top part are wrapped in gold foil (thermal blankets); the top is covered with a blue blanket. The bottom part consists of a black boxy structure. The spacecraft is mounted on a wheeled platform; various instruments and scaffolding are visible in the foreground.

science.esa.int ESA Space Science @science.esa.int · Nov 12
Instead of using one large mirror, #ESAPlato uses 26 cameras that combine their observations. This design reminds of insects’ compound eyes.

Each camera acquires 81.4-megapixel images resulting in two-billion-pixel images for the overall spacecraft – the most ever for a space mission. 

3/ #CM25 🔭
In the photo three people in white overalls and caps stand in front of the instrumentation in a white hall. The equipment, about twice as tall as the people in the picture, consists of a black four-stepped-platform that supports 24 cameras. These resemble cylinders flaring at the top, not unlike big ice-cream cones. Each cylinder is wrapped in black material; the top flare has a metallic finish and a white lid.

Tre persone in tuta bianca e cappuccio protettivo stanno in piedi davanti a una grande strumentazione in una sala bianca. L'attrezzatura, alta circa il doppio delle persone nella foto, è costituita da una piattaforma nera a quattro gradini che sostiene 24 telecamere. Queste assomigliano a cilindri svasati nella parte superiore, che ricordano dei grandi coni gelato. Ogni cilindro è avvolto in materiale nero; la svasatura superiore ha una finitura metallica e un coperchio bianco.

Cathedral of the Watching Sky
A lone figure stands beneath an infinite gaze
#CosmicVision #SurrealArchitecture #CelestialEye #MythicScale #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares
A monumental blue eye dominates the sky, filling nearly the entire upper half of the scene like a celestial aperture torn open above an ancient city. The iris is layered in deep ultramarine, teal, and storm-washed sapphire, streaked with radiant veins of molten gold that burst outward from a dark, perfectly circular pupil at the center. The gold accents appear textured and luminous, as if gilded leaf has been pressed into swirling clouds and cosmic vapor. A fractured ring of metallic gold encircles the eye, its edges rough and irregular, suggesting a rupture in the sky itself. Below, a vast stone corridor stretches forward, flanked on both sides by towering, sculpted structures resembling weathered monoliths or futuristic cathedrals. Their surfaces are pale stone brushed with subtle blue shadows and traced with fine gold lines that echo the eye above. The architecture narrows toward the horizon, drawing the gaze inward. At the center foreground stands a solitary cloaked figure facing away, small against the overwhelming scale. The ground beneath reflects light faintly, as if damp or polished, catching glints of gold from above. The atmosphere feels hushed and reverent, suspended between ruin and revelation, as though the world itself is being watched by something ancient and immeasurably vast.

Celestial Bloom
A firework unfurls like a cosmic flower, unraveling in threads of light and flame.
#CosmicVision #AbstractExplosion #FireworkArt #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares
The image depicts a surreal firework bursting against a pitch-black sky, appearing more like an interstellar phenomenon than a manmade display. From a concentrated flare at the base, vibrant tendrils of light erupt outward in every direction, forming a chaotic yet mesmerizing bloom. The explosion radiates in vivid colors—fiery oranges, deep magentas, brilliant purples, and ghostly whites—blending together into a tapestry of motion. Swirling knots of color resemble galaxies or blooming flowers, their centers darkened like cosmic eyes, while long filaments of glowing threads stretch out like roots, veins, or strands of hair. A haze of smoke at the bottom lingers over a still body of water, grounding the explosion in earthly reality while the upper chaos feels infinite and celestial. The entire spectacle gives the impression of a universe being born, equal parts destructive and beautiful.

The Eye Opens
She walks toward the storm, and the storm looks back.
#darkfantasy #surrealart #cosmicvision #dreamscape #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares
A haunting, surreal scene shows a lone figure standing in a desolate, fog-drenched landscape. The ground beneath her feet is fractured and scattered with debris, while faint gusts of wind whip fragments into the air. She wears a flowing, tattered dress that trails around her legs like smoke, its edges fraying and dissolving into the mist. Her head is crowned with wiry, chaotic strands that resemble cables or thorny vines, spiraling outward as if tethered to something unseen. Looming above her is a swirling vortex of storm clouds, dense with texture and movement, glowing with an ominous, fiery center that resembles a colossal eye or gateway. The light from this cosmic eye pierces through the haze, casting faint illumination around the figure, creating a stark and eerie contrast between her delicate form and the vast, otherworldly power hovering overhead. The atmosphere is oppressive yet mesmerizing, evoking themes of destiny, cosmic horror, and transcendence. Keywords: cosmic eye, surreal figure, storm clouds, dreamlike, apocalyptic, dark fantasy, vortex, glowing portal, tattered dress, misty landscape, eerie light, transcendence

Mapping underground spaces—muon technology shows promise for 3D imaging of subsurface for archaeological excavations
A recent study offers proof of feasibility for using cosmic radiation detectors to discover underground spaces. The detectors identify muons—particles created when cosmic radiation collides with Earth's atmosphere, which penetrate the ground before losing their energy and coming to a stop. Thus, by detecting muons, archaeologists can map hidden voids such as tunnels and channels.
