India turns to the Sun 🇮🇳 🛰️☀️
@isro's #Aditya-L1 solar observatory is due to launch on Saturday, 2 September, at 08:20 CEST.
It's the first Indian satellite mission to study the #Sun, and @esa is providing two important types of support: esa.int/Enabling_Support/Ope…

#AdityaL1 will carry 7 payloads on board. Four of these will observe the Sun in various wavebands - optical, ultraviolet, and X-rays. These are VELC, SUIT, SoLEX and HEL1OS. Take a look at these @ISRO posters.

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
The mission is on schedule.
Systems are undergoing regular checks.
Smooth sailing is continuing.
The Mission Operations Complex (MOX) is buzzed with energy & excitement!
The live telecast of the landing operations at MOX/ISTRAC begins at 17:20 Hrs. IST on August 23, 2023.
Here are the images of the moon captured by the Lander Position Detection Camera (LPDC) from an altitude of about 70 km, on August 19, 2023.
LPDC images assist the Lander Module in determining its position (latitude and longitude) by matching them against an onboard moon reference map.

نظرة مفصلة على جارنا الجميل، القمر، التقطناها من مرصد السديم في أبوظبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة!
هنا نري بقع أطلق عليها البشر هذه الأسماء لأنهم اعتقدوا في الماضي أن هذه الأماكن على سطح القمر هي بحار ومحيطات حقيقية! ولكن في الحقيقه هذه البقع من أكبر الأماكن الداكنة والمسطحة على سطح القمر، وتشكلت بسبب تأثير النيازك القديمة. ومن بين هذه البقع، ماري كريسيوم هي الأصغر حجماً، وتقع بين ماري سيرينيتاتيس وماري ترانكيليتاتيس. 🌕✨
ما هي الحفر و الالوان التي علي سطح القمر؟!
يحتوي سطح القمر على العديد من الفوهات ، والتي تشكلت جميعها نتيجة اصطدام الصخور أو المذنبات من الفضاء ، والأشكال الدائرية على سطح القمر عبارة عن فوهات ، والخطوط الممتدة منها عبارة عن أشعة مقذوفة مصنوعة من مادة انفجرت من فوهة البركان.
ألوان القمر خفية ، حيث تشير الدرجات اللونية الزرقاء إلى المناطق الغنية بالإلمنيت والبرتقالي والأرجواني والتي تظهر مناطق فقيرة نسبيًا من التيتانيوم والحديد ، والأزرق الداكن يشير إلى المناطق الغنية بالمعادن التي تحتوي على التيتانيوم ، والألوان الوردية تشير إلى فقير الحديد والفلسبار الغنية بالألمنيوم التي تشكل المرتفعات القمرية.
تعال واكتشف الألوان الخفية للقمر وأسرار حفر القمر في مرصد السديم في أبوظبي!
A detailed look at our beautiful neighbour, the Moon, captured from Al Sadeem Observatory in Abu Dhabi, UAE! In the world of Sailor Moon, certain places on the moon are referred to as "seas" and "oceans" because people believed they were real bodies of water. However, these spots are actually some of the largest dark and flat areas on the moon's surface, formed by ancient meteorite impacts. One of these spots, Mare Crisium, is the smallest and is located between Mare Serenitatis and Mare Tranquillitatis.✨
The circular shapes on the Moon's surface are craters, and the lines extending from them are ejecta rays made from material blasted out of the crater, while the Moon's colors are subtle, with blue tones indicating areas rich in ilmenite, orange and purple showing regions relatively poor in titanium and iron, dark blues indicating areas richer in titanium-bearing minerals, and pink colors indicating iron-poor, aluminum-rich feldspars that make up the lunar highlands.
So, come and discover the hidden colours of the Moon and the secrets of lunar craters at Al Sadeem Observatory in Abu Dhabi!
