Hi all! I'm DUSTER, an instrument designed to be flown under a stratospheric balloon and bring back aerosol particles from the #stratosphere. The only source of uncontaminated extraterrestrial particles from our atmosphere! Soon I'll fly over the sky of #Kiruna! #Hemera2021

Scientific utreach activities bring science closer to society and society closer to science. This is very much needed. Doing outreach with friends? That's not only needed, that's amazing! 🥳😊 First day of the Cosmos festival and looking forward to the next ones!

Tonight, @NASA intentionally crashes their #DART spacecraft into a 160m asteroid, to nudge its orbit in a world-first test of #AsteroidDeflection🛰️↩️🪨 And yes, the live feed will be streaming down to watch on #NASATV & #ESAWebTV from midnight CEST!🔴📹👉esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/ESA_W…

DUSTER is back to the lab at @CISUP1! Using the Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), it is possible to get the "DNA" of the particles collected, their chemical/mineralogic composition, and so a clue for their origin #CosmicDust #FESEMEDS #DUSTER2019 #Stratosphere @Unipisa – at Pisa, Tuscany

DUSTER Project retweeted
ESA’s @cometintercept mission to visit a #comet has just been ‘adopted’ meaning the study phase is complete and, following selection of the spacecraft prime contractor, work will soon begin to build the mission 👉esa.int/Science_Exploration/… #ExploreFarther

This week the DUSTER project was presented @ the 25th #ESAPAC 2022 Symposium on European Rocket & Balloon programmes & related reaserch, Biarritz (FR). #StratosphericBalloons are essential for the collection of uncontaminated extraterrestrial dust. Glad to have been part of it!

DUSTER stands up for gender equality in science. We will be part of the @IAU_org festival on Women & Girls in Astronomy (3rd Mar). Save the date! #WomenInScience #February11 #WomeninScienceDay #WomenInSTEM
Friday is #WomenInScience Day! Let’s smash stereotypes, defy gender bias and defeat discrimination that holds women and girls back in science, tech, engineering and math. 👩‍🔬👩‍🚀 unwo.men/ExJm50HR2oL
