📣 Announcement 📣 We're delighted to reveal that we have officially signed a 999-year lease on our London headquarters, having agreed a deal with the Government earlier this year to transfer the building's ownership. Read more about what it means here: ras.ac.uk/news-and-press/new…
Pictured left, RAS President Mike Lockwood (right) and Geophysics Secretary James Hammond (left) put their signatures to a series of legal documents to complete the handover of Burlington House (bottom right) from the Government to the RAS and its fellow Learned Societies following the agreement of a 999-year lease. RAS Executive Director Philip Diamond is pictured inset with the 19th Century seal press used to stamp the documents (also top right).

They show that Io’s atmosphere extends more on the dayside than the nightside of Io. Globally it also appears to be extending further than 1800 km from Io’s surface.

🌘🌍🛰️ As #ESAJuice sailed past the Moon and Earth in August 2024, one of its instruments captured the sharpest-ever image of the cloud of charged particles trapped in Earth’s magnetic field. The central image and the in situ measurements displayed in the insets were taken by two sensors provided by @NASA for Juice’s Particle Environment Package (PEP) 👉 esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Image… 📷 ESA/NASA/Johns Hopkins APL/Josh Diaz
On a starry background, the Moon is on the top right, Earth in the centre and the Juice spacecraft on the lower left. A curved dotted line shows the Juice’s trajectory, from right to left. Two white ovals surround Earth, indicating Earth’s radiation belts. Behind Earth, a roughly oval-shaped colourful image shows the density of charged particles imaged by Juice’s JENI sensor, with dark red, particle-dense regions visible at 1, 6 and 11 o’clock directions around Earth. The lower right shows the energies of particles measured by Juice’s JENI and JoEE sensors as Juice flew through the radiation belts.
