Oh and I also presented it at the recent #EPSC2026 in Den Haag. Lots of 🇳🇱 connections for this one!

Hello @europlanetmedia.bsky.social #EPSC2026 here in Den Haag! Looking forward the #3I/Atlas keynote today, plus I will be presenting some @cometinterceptor.bsky.social related-work in the small body dynamics session SB12 later, and I also have another talk Thurs. Gonna be a busy week! #PlanetSci

Enjoyed your take on #EPSC2026 Chris! I had exactly the same experience at the bistro. Ordered the pea soup and ended up scoffing down something else in 5 mins, but on a different day! Dunno why they leave it on the menu when it clearly doesn't exist 😅

🌍✨ Last week, the FormingWorlds group attended the Europlanet Science Congress (#EPSC2026) in The Hague. We had a great time with Karen Stuitje, Saphira Brandenberger, @marianasastre.bsky.social, Emeline Decocq, @marattia.bsky.social, Lorenzo Cesario, Ema Jungová & @timlichtenberg.bsky.social!

What a remarkable two weeks it has been: sharing results from three missions, joining the celebrations around BepiColombo separation, presenting at #Mercury2026, and exchanging ideas with the planetary community at #EPSC2026. Busy days!

The #EPSC2026 meetings have always had a strong presence of amateur astronomers, and a session dedicated to pro-am collaboration. Right now, Ricardo Hueso is sharing our hopes for observational support for #ESAJuice in the 2030s, following the success of Juno collaborations.

Marc Delcroix‘s ”Detect” software for impact flashes on Jupiter has now been running since 2012: 0.5 million videos analysed, from 300 observers in 50 countries, equivalent to 500 days of continuous obs. Stats suggest there should be ~20 flashes/year… but we haven’t seen one since 2023 #EPSC2026

So leaving #EPSC2026 in The Hague. As always a pleasure, only the venue was a bit on the small side. Next year is in Toulouse, looking forward.

Pleased to report I’ve made it for my annual education in comets cc @astrokiwi.bsky.social #EPSC2026
In the Sun room this morning for active bodies session, including my talk on coupling #comet ☄️ activity and surfaces through modelling. The biggest room in the whole #EPSC2026, but the morning after conference social...so looking rather empty at 8.30 in the morning 😅

This is quietly big news for @esa. General chat around #EPSC2026 is a strong desire to reduce dependence on perfidious NASA, driving Europe to new capabilities and partners (see expanding partnership with JAXA for BepiColombo and beyond)
A lot of the coffee-discussion here at #EPSC2026 has been about European-led future exploration of the outer solar system, for Saturn and beyond. This would be a game-changer.
Latest for SpaceNews: ESA is moving ahead with plans to establish a sovereign European capability to manufacture americium-241 radioisotope heater units for future exploration missions.

Made it to #Pluto and was almost eaten by seagulls! Walking the #planet tour all the way from the Sun at the #EPSC2026 conference venue out to #Scheveningen beach in my afternoon off.

It's been great to see so many familiar names in person at #EPSC2026, incl. authors & editors of Space Science Reviews — here is Haje Korth checking out the book version of the Europa Clipper Mission article collection!

The second miraculous feat by my final brain cell will be on Thursday. Can't present at The Hague without talking about Palestine.

Talk done. Some good questions, and that concludes my contributions to #EPSC2026, after 2 talks and a session chairing! Phew, now I can relax and enjoy the rest of the conference 😅

Made to the #EPSC2026 press briefing on @esa and JAXA’s BepiColombo mission, arriving at Mercury soon. Note plushie versions of spacecraft on table!

Closing out the day with Michael talking about @vrubinobs.bsky.social finding targets for @cometinterceptor.bsky.social. Sporting a nice Comet Interceptor t-shirt! I need to get me one of those :) #EPSC2026

Incredibly, despite their different paths and development times, #ESAJuice and #EuropaClipper will both fly by Europa within 4 hours of each other in 2032… a first for studying the potential ocean world, with synergistic opportunities being developed by an international team. #EPSC2026

As someone involved in EJSM nearly 20yrs ago, sitting in #EPSC2026 talks and learning how #ESAJuice and #EuropaClipper are now doing science during cruise is pretty mind-bending: tracking solar ejections, radar scans of Mars, detecting Earth’s lightning from above, and even an interstellar object.
