🤯 Where has the time gone?!
It's been a whole year since our trailblazing Aeolus mission started to wind down, 30 April marking the end of operational data production
Aeolus winds significantly improved weather forecasts, particularly at the tropics

It was a scarlet sky yesterday in Greece. 🌅 When sunlight vibes with

, it paints the sky in fiery hues, around 625-750 nm on the color spectrum. Check out this captivating sunset shot from our Antikythera Observatory on 4/23/2024.

Since yesterday the sky over some countries of the eastern Mediterranean Sea has been looking orange.
Why? Saharan dust!

"Why do we care about dust? And not the stuff you see people dramatically blowing off old library books in films, but the tonnes of particles picked up by the wind from places like the Sahara Desert." 🌬️🏜️🌊🏝️🌳
