    Our new asteroid hunter opens its eye to the sky! ☄️

    Meet Flyeye — the telescope that sees space like a fly! 🪰

    With its very first glimpse of the sky, Flyeye is ready to begin scanning for asteroids that might one day come a little too close to Earth.

    Inspired by the compound eye of a fly, it can spot a huge chunk of sky in one go — more than 200 times the area of the full Moon. And it’s designed to do it all automatically, night after night.

    It hasn’t found any space rocks yet, but it’s only just opened its eye. This is the first step towards a future network of fly-eyed telescopes keeping watch over our planet.

    Not bad for a bug-inspired bit of space tech.

  • El Día del Asteroide de la ESA

    El Día del Asteroide de la ESA

    Descubre las últimas noticias y la información más reciente de la Agencia Espacial Europea en una charla moderada por Mariella Graziano, una de las divulgadoras STEM más activas en España y Europa, y directora del departamento de Sistemas Espaciales y Robótica en la multinacional tecnológica española GMV, profundamente implicada en el desarrollo de la misión de defensa planetaria HERA de la ESA. Entre los invitados a la charla habrá divulgadores, científicos, astrónomos y expertos que trabajan para comprender la fascinante ciencia de los asteroides y meteoritos, así como los riesgos potenciales de los asteroides que orbitan cerca de la Tierra (tanto a nivel europeo, como la contribución española). Una sección de este programa contará incluso con la presencia de astronautas que explicarán las razones por las que debemos ser conscientes de los potenciales peligros que los asteroides pueden suponer para nuestro planeta.
