And a huge thank you for this year, what an adventure! We reached out people all over the world, we event talked with one of the most isolated places here on earth: Antarctica. We made the first interview with someone completely isolated from the outside world for days, in preparation for a space mission. And… a lot more exciting projects are here for 2025! 🚀
Looking down on Earth with Airbus Space, Sentinel 2C
On the @spaceinfo.club YouTube Channel 🛰️ you can find our latest video: we look inside one of the biggest and most active Companies in the Space Sector: @airbus_space 🚀
Thanks to Gunn Schweickert, Sentinel 2C project manager and Remi Bellouard, project manager of the MSI instrument we’ll talk about how the Copernicus Program and the Sentinel constellation will shape the future of Earth Observation!

Show time! Super excited to participate to this 6-week adventure with buildspace! I'm just trying to communicate the essence of the SpaceInfo Club in a very few sentences. In a slide. In a YouTube post. Everything you could think about Space: shrink it into a single slide.
What do you think? Don't cheat: without visiting our page or website, tell me in the comment what you think we do here at the SpaceInfo Club 😉
This 2023 was a true journey for SpaceInfo! We want to approach the final@day with this picture by @nasa @iss of Astronaut Nicole Mann during a first EVA onboard the International Space Station. But, wait! What does ‘EVA’ means?! Tell us in the comments! 🚀
This 2006 Gemini Observatory image shows Jupiter’s two giant “red” spots brushing past one another in the planet’s southern hemisphere. The near-infrared image incorporates adaptive optics to correct for, in real-time, most of the distortions caused by turbulence in the Earth’s atmosphere. The result is a view from the ground that rivals images from space.
In the near-infrared, the red spots appear white rather than the reddish hue seen at visible wavelengths. Both red spots are massive storm systems. The top of the larger one, known for a long time as the Great Red Spot, lies about 8 kilometers above the neighboring cloud-tops and is the largest hurricane known in the solar system.
The smaller storm (officially called Oval BA, but informally known as Red Spot Junior) is another hurricane-like system but was temporary and is no longer a feature in Jupiter’s clouds. Red Spot Junior was roughly half the size of its famous cousin, but its winds blew just as strong. This mighty storm formed between 1998 and 2000 from the merger of three long-enduring white ovals, each a similar storm system at a smaller scale, which had been observed for at least 60 years.
But it was not until February 27, 2006, that Philippine amateur astronomer Christopher Go discovered that the color of the newly formed white oval had turned brick red. Astronomers were witnessing the birth of a new red spot. No one is certain why this white oval turned red. However, University of Hawai‘i astronomer Toby Owen supports a hypothesis developed by New Mexico State University astronomer Reta Beebe, suggesting that the merger of the three white ovals led to an intensified storm system.
On Christmas Eve 1968, the crew of Apollo 8 received the most amazing gift and shared it with the world. Astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders became the first humans to orbit the Moon, and the first to witness the magnificent sight called “Earthrise.” Anders captured this iconic photo as the spacecraft was in the process of rotating, showing Earth rising over the Moon’s horizon. Wow!
55 years later, we are excited to contribute to @nasaartemis program to create a sustainable lunar presence and pave the way for human exploration of Mars. As part of Artemis II, @astrojeremy will be the first Canadian to fly to the Moon, and will witness the “Earthrise”. See you soon, Moon!
A study using data from @NASA’s Cassini mission has found evidence of a key ingredient for life – and a powerful source of chemical energy to fuel it – on Saturn’s icy moon.
Scientists have known that the giant plume of ice grains and water spewing from Enceladus is rich with organic compounds, some of which are important for life. Now, new analysis takes the evidence for habitability one step further with the strong confirmation of hydrogen cyanide, a molecule that is key to the origin of life.
Researchers also uncovered evidence that the ocean, which is hiding below the moon’s icy outer shell and supplies the giant plume, holds a supercharged source of energy. Unidentified until this study, the energy source is in the form of several organic compounds, some of which on Earth serve as fuel for organisms.
These findings indicate there may be much more chemical energy inside Saturn’s tiny moon than previously thought. And the more energy available, the more likely that life might proliferate and be sustained.
Scientists are still a long way from answering whether life could originate on Enceladus, but this new work lays out chemical pathways for life that could be tested in a lab on Earth.
A black-and-white image captured by the Cassini mission shows a tiny white dot that is the moon Enceladus against the backdrop of a massive Saturn with a portion of its rings showing. Also in this 2007 image are two other moons: Pandora, a bright speck hovering near the rings, and Mimas, at lower right.
