Fantastic BepiColombo @science.esa.int week at @physicsuol.bsky.social ! Best way of almost ending the year with two full days of Mercury and cruise discussions at home! 🤩 (the “thing” in the middle is our fantastic X-Ray MIXS instrument on Bepi!!)

Very proud of my brother who is now a Doctor!! He just passed his PhD defense and obtained Summa Cum Laude (with highest praise!). There is another Dr Sanchez-Cano now! (Although of avian influenza viruses….). We are very proud of him!

Learning about the vast current flowing along the Earth's magnetic field to the ionosphere is as captivating for cats as it is for our students. It took a seat and stayed for the lecture as @bscredrojo.bsky.social explained the "Birkeland currents" to our 3rd years! 😻
