This Telescope Will Probe Alien Atmospheres

A group of astronomers now hope to fill this gap in our knowledge. They are raising money for a nearly $4 million project called the Polarized Light from Atmospheres of
Nearby ExtraTerrestrial Systems (PLANETS) telescope. If funding, site approvals and construction all line up, they hope to have the 1.85-meter telescope ready by mid-2018.

The ultimate goal is to create a $600-million Colossus telescope with 60 independent off-axis 8 meter telescopes, all in a single structure, but that's down the road.
First things first: the PLANETS telescope has less than a million dollars of funding to go before construction can begin.

Rosetta’s descent towards region of active pits / Rosetta / Space Science / Our Activities / ESA

Squeezing out unique scientific observations until the very end, Rosetta’s thrilling mission will culminate with a descent
on 30 September towards a region of active pits on the comet’s ‘head’.

The region, known as Ma’at, lies on the smaller of the two lobes of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It is home to several
active pits more than 100 m in diameter and 50–60 m in depth – where a number of the comet’s dust jets originate.

Rosetta is set to complete its mission in a controlled descent to the surface of its comet on 30 September.

Members of the media are invited to join Rosetta science and mission control experts at the ESA’s European
Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany, on 29 and 30 September, to follow the conclusion of
this historic mission.

Asteroid 2016 RB1 grazed Earth on 7 September. About the size of a cottage, the asteroid flew past our planet at an altitude of 34 000 km,
roughly the same as the altitude of geostationary satellites. Yet it posed no hazard neither to our planet nor to spacecraft. It was
discovered only 24 hours before closest approach, highlighting the need for us humans to keep an eye on our Solar System!
