Discovering exoplanets is just the beginning.

Follow-up observations are key to truly understand these distant worlds—that’s where #ESACheops comes in.

With sharp precision & stability, Cheops determines a planet's size, while also identifying the best candidates for future study esa.int/cheops 🔭

In his original appearances, Vandal Savage claimed to have been the Pharaoh Cheops, or Khufu.

Just once, I want Hawkman to be like "Listen, asshole, I *know* you weren't Cheops, because *I* was Cheops"

Our Cheops mission is busy at work, helping us better understand the exoplanets we've discovered so far.

TIL: de 4 zijdes van de piramide van Cheops zijn eigenlijk licht concaaf: er zijn dus 8 zijdes in totaal.

Discovering an exoplanet is just the beginning. 

What comes next? Studying it. That's the job of our Cheops mission. 

Here's how it works 👉 https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Cheops/How_to_characterise_an_exoplanet

How to characterise an exoplanet
Discovering an exoplanet is just the beginning. Cheops – ESA’s Characterising Exoplanet Satellite – is working to characterise some of these alien worlds. It observes bright, nearby stars that are already known to host exoplanets, focusing particularly on those with super-Earth to Neptune-sized planets.

Hat zufällig jemand Fotos aus der Bauphase der Cheops-Pyramide?

Verrückter Fakt des Tages: #vfdt
Die Spitze der Cheops-Pyramide ist ca.2,3 Millisekunden älter als die Basis. In großer Höhe ist die Gravitation geringfügig schwächer, das führt nach Einsteins Relativitätstheorie dazu, dass die Zeit anders vergeht - in 4500 Jahren entsteht eine Differenz von ~2.3ms.

#ESACheops observes bright, nearby stars that are already known to host #exoplanets, focusing on those with Earth to Neptune-sized planets.

It performs a first-step characterisation of their structure, providing insights into their formation and evolution 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

Rebondissement dans le scandale du piratage du ministère l'Intérieur: on apprend que le hackeur a pu se servir tranquilou dans Cheops, le portail principal pour accéder à tous les fichiers de la police, entre le 9 novembre et le 4 décembre, soit 26 jours, relate le Canard Enchaîné. Une passoire...

🛰️ Quelques nouvelles du télescope spatial européen CHEOPS 🥳 Son 6ème cycle d'observation vient d'être ouvert à candidatures : les chercheureuses peuvent demander du temps pour étudier notamment les exoplanètes, mais pas que !

A reminder that the pyramids are literally in the city, and that the distance between the Grand Pyramid of Cheops and the Sphinx is larger than the distance between the Sphinx and the aforementioned combination KFC/Pizza Hut.
