Last week, a few secondary schools came to visit our Institute. Our scientists and engineers gave them tours of the outdoor exhibition and the labs, and presented all the areas of our research on Earth's climate 🌍, its atmosphere, and those of other planets 🪐 #STEMEducation

Big happening #planetariumbrussels tonight! We're celebrating #BIRA_IASB60years with #ArnaudVajda and our new director Ann Carine Vandaele @acvandaele

Ready for a night at @Busoc_official celebrating 60 years of @BIRA_IASB

12 years ago, on Aug. 30, 2012, the launch of the Van Allen Probes marked a milestone for our institute in studying Earth's radiation belts! Since then, we've continued to explore with PROBA-V EPT and soon 3DEES! https://t.co/MoQ5OnGUWx #60yearsBIRA #radiationbelts #space

First sprite ground capture over Denmark. @ASIM_Payload is a Danish led @esa mission on @Space_Station. We're happy to see beautiful ground images of these fascinating upper atmosphere discharges. https://t.co/bTBcviPS6c

Did you know that Dirk Frimout, Belgium's first astronaut, began his career at #BIRA_IASB60years? From his early days as head of our Instrumentation Department to his historic 🚀 mission in 1992, Dirk has inspired generations. https://t.co/5r8I9EaB52

I am so lucky to have captured such a picture of Gigantic Jets Lightning over Himalayan Mountains. And it has now been published at #APOD of June 18. I took them on the early morning of June 10, 2024.

Can you spot @ASIM_Payload ? 👀🛰️

Check out this discovery, made possible thanks to the outstanding work from our scientist colleagues at @BIRA_IASB and @ORB_KSB 💦🌋🌌
