The European space industry is full of exciting id

The European space industry is full of exciting ideas and brilliant minds, as Julian and Onė once again got to experience at this year's NewSpace conference in Luxembourg. Organized by the Luxembourg Space Agency, ESA gave us the opportunity to listen to various amazing speakers presenting new space topics as well as attend interesting panels and discussions on important issues such as space debris.
Onė shares her experience: "The event gave us a lot of new ideas, not only on how to improve our technical as well as commercial strategy, but also about space investment. It was very inspiring!"

Sunsets here on Earth dazzle us with their shades

Sunsets here on Earth dazzle us with their shades of red, orange and yellow. On Mars, the atmosphere is resposible for the sun's eerie blue glow as the sol goes to an end. Dust particles block out longer wavelengths, letting only the blue light of the visible spectrum pass. If there is little dust in the atmosphere, the scenery loses it's tint (second slide)
