Supernova explosion💥! Most stars in the Universe are small and insignificant, and they will, eventually, fizzle out without much drama. ⭐ However, a few light up the sky when they die, and in the process, they don’t just tell us about the lives of stars: they create the building blocks of life, and help us to unravel the whole history of the Universe! These are the stars that end their lives as supernovae, explosions that are among the most violent events in the Universe 👉https://lnkd.in/eXe5vHFU Credits: ESA/Hubble (L.

About us
The European Space Agency (ESA) is Europe’s gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world. ESA is an international organisation with 22 Member States. By coordinating the financial and intellectual resources of its members, it can undertake programmes and activities far beyond the scope of any single European country. ESA's 22 Member States are Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Slovenia, Slovakia, Latvia and Lithuania are Associate Members. Canada takes part in some projects under a cooperation agreement. Five other EU states have Cooperation Agreements with ESA: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus and Malta.

⏰One step closer to... a #CubeSat swarm mission! The next revolution in space technology could be using swarms of small spacecraft working together rather than one much bigger spacecraft. 🛰️ ESA's Discovery Programme put out a call for ideas for CubeSat swarms, then assessed submissions in its Concurrent Design Facility. 💡 Check the winning mission concepts here 👉https://lnkd.in/eh7Dz3XJ ESA Technology
