First images from last Mercury flyby were released yesterday! 📸 You can see Mercury's north pole in the first image while #Bepicolombo was flying over the terminator. The second and third images show the northern hemisphere of the planet. 🤩
More pics coming soon once released to the public!

#Bepicolombo did today its 6th and last flyby of Mercury. Closest approach was this morning at 06:58:52 CET, and the spacecraft was 295km from the surface! 🛰️🪐 Here's a pic taken 5.5 hours before closest approach 👇🏽👇🏽

¿Es 2025 el año de volver a ver LOST? Después de ver el documental en @filmin.es yo digo si.

And the second one 📸

Not as stunning as other flybys due to the distance to Mercury, but here are the images taken by #BepiColombo 📸

And what does this mean

100% brat y un poco gay

In a few hours #BepiColombo will do its 5th gravity assist (or flyby) around Mercury. This is the first time #MERTIS is going to observe the planet, and its the first time there will be a mid-infrared light observation of the surface of Mercury! 🤩 #BepiColombo (Infographics by #ESA)

And the second one 🎥 #BepiColombo #MercuryFlyby

Ups, just learned that @bsky.app doesn’t allow yet upload of custom gifs… therefore, let’s do videos! 🎥 #BepiColombo #MercuryFlyby

The second one was taken a few months ago, last September, when #BepiColombo did its 4th #MercuryFlyby. It went down to just 165 km from Mercury’s surface, closer than any other spacecraft before 💪🏼 And you can tell by the level of details in the pics👇🏽

First one is from the #MercuryFlyBy #3 that took place mid June 2023, when #BepiColombo came down to ~236km from Mercury’s surface at closest approach👇🏽

I thought I’d share some animations I did few months ago just for the sake of “space” things up a bit in this app 🛰️🪐

OMG This was such a success 🥰
