Our #ScienceImage of the week takes us to a star-circling bubble of gas captured by the XMM-Newton space telescope.

The three modules of the our joint mission to Mercury with +JAXA | 宇宙航空研究開発機構, #BepiColombo, are pictured in our #ScienceImage of the Week shortly after being unpacked at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.

Searching for signs of ice on #Mars is complex.
Our #ScienceImage of the week shows us how #MarsExpress uses its radar to probe the interior of the Red Planet exploring whether ice lurks beneath the surface.
