We’re keeping time in space ⏱️ For the first time, a fully European active hydrogen maser — one of the most precise clocks on Earth — is running at our deep-space ground station in New Norcia, Australia. Why it matters? These ultra-stable clocks are the heartbeat of deep-space missions, navigation, and even fundamental physics experiments. And now, Europe has its own! 📹 @europeanspaceagency 🎞️ Safran Timing Technologies; ESA; ESA/DiGOS Potsdam GmbH; @gettyimages; @hubbleesa; ESA/BepiColombo/MT

We have a long history of studying the Sun from space. Since the launch of Ulysses in 1990, we have led or cooperated on several Sun-exploring missions including SOHO, Cluster and Proba-2. Soon it'll be the turn of Solar Orbiter. | ESA - European Space Agency
