Happy 22nd birthday, INTEGRAL! On 17 October 2002 INTEGRAL was launched into space. That means ESA's most sensitive gamma-ray observatory to date is 22 years old and still operating today! Happy Launch Anniversary Day! We will celebrate this event next week with the INTEGRAL

Un'esplosione di raggi gamma estremamente luminosa e di lunga durata ha colpito la Terra alle 15:21 ora italiana del 9 ottobre 2022. L’esplosione, rilevata anche dal telescopio spaziale @ESA_Integral , ha causato un disturbo significativo nella ionosfera del nostro pianeta.
A blast from the past 🤩 An enormous burst of gamma rays struck Earth on 14:21 BST / 15:21 CEST on 9 October 2022. The blast was picked up by our Integral telescope and caused a significant disturbance in our planet’s ionosphere.
