Bullseye! Remarkable discovery of an Einstein Ring in the heart of nearby galaxy NGC6506, imaged by @esa.int @esascience.esa.int #Euclid mission. Crystal clear vision of #Euclid & sharp eyes of Euclid scientists spotted this rare occurrence that shows the promise of Euclid for precision cosmology!

Listen to #ESAJuice flyby of the Earth on its gravitational slingshot to Jupiter! There are no soundwaves in space, but there are plenty of other kinds of waves! We have turned the radio wave environment around Earth into an audio soundtrack:
