📢Check it out! Another beautiful @BepiColombo #Mercury flyby video! 🤩 It was a great privilege to be involved again.
📽️Sit down, relax and enjoy #BepiColombo’s views as it moved gracefully around Mercury on 7-8 January 2025. 🎼🎶Playing in the background is The Hebrides overture by Felix Mendelssohn - can you guess why?

I'm really happy to be back @esa to analyse M-CAM images from @BepiColombo's final flyby of #Mercury. Here I am with a mission clock two minutes before closest approach. Go Bepi go! @ESA_Bepi @JAXA_MMO @ESA_MTM
BepiColombo is reaching its closest approach to Mercury now during its sixth encounter with the planet. It's 06:58:52 CET, and the spacecraft is 295km from the surface. #bepicolombo

#BepiColombo will fly less than 40 000 km above Mercury's surface this Sunday, marking its fifth flyby of the planet. 🆕Its MERTIS instrument will observe the planet in mid-infrared light, making BepiColombo the first spacecraft ever to do so 😎

🆕Our newest 'large-class' mission will explore habitability on an icy ocean world. But which of Jupiter or Saturn's moons should we choose? 🤔 A team of planetary scientists has spent the last two years considering the options. Do you agree with their top choice? 👉
