China has a planetary exploration roadmap focused on extraterrestrial life:

2028: Tianwen-3 Mars sample return

2029: Tianwen-4 to Jupiter and Callisto

2033: Venus atmospheric sample return

2038: Mars Research Station for ISRU

2039: Probe to Neptune and Triton

This #SundaySelfie features Australian astronomers Vanessa Moss, aka sidekick to the Cosmic Pudding, and Rebecca McElroy rocking all the space exploration!

Vanessa is repping #TeamJuno with a Juno mission shirt from @nasajpl (not currently available in the JPL online store, unfortunately!). I have to admit, the Juno logo is baffling me a little bit. The trifid shape is definitely the spacecraft, but what is the stripe and the circle? From the mission logo I found online it looks like the stripe and circle are meant to be in silhouette against a circle, so maybe they are a moon and ring (or an orbit?) around Jupiter?

Rebecca is wearing the all-over print shirt from @arielwaldman’s spaceprob.es project and the Lunar Lander wooden necklace from @pretty-little-earth - one of our favorite designers!

Hey, folks, some cool space art being generated by @chopshopstore. Poster and stickers and pins of historic robotic spacecraft like Voyager, Rosetta/Philae and New Horizons. They’ve got a new poster campaign on Kickstarter, get in on the ground floor. I’ll put the URL here but you can click on the Linktree in the bio, too. https://bit.ly/HRSS3-Explore #chopshop #kickstarter #voyager #spaceart #spaceprobes https://www.instagram.com/p/CSeTYYqLob7/?utm_medium=tumblr

In 2006, NASA reported that Cassini had found evidence of liquid water reservoirs that erupt in geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus. Images had shown jets of icy particles being emitted into orbit around Saturn from vents in the moon's south polar region. According to Andrew Ingersoll, California Institute of Technology, "Other moons in the Solar System have liquid-water oceans covered by kilometers of icy crust. What's different here is that pockets of liquid water may be no more than tens of meters below the surface." Over 100 geysers have been identified on Enceladus. In May 2011, NASA scientists at an Enceladus Focus Group Conference reported that Enceladus "is emerging as the most habitable spot beyond Earth in the Solar System for life as we know it". A dramatic plume sprays water ice and vapor from the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Cassini's first hint of this plume came during the spacecraft's first close flyby of the icy moon on February 17, 2005.

Geeking out at the centre of our universe, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory mission control. Live data feeds coming from all @nasa #spacecraft from Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and all the way to the Voyagers. Humbling. Inspiring. Mind boggling that this mission control has been in 24/7 365 day operation for over 53 years. Meanwhile in the clean room the first day of work has started on the next Mars lander due to depart these shores in 2020. This piece being delicately assembled will one day burn up in Mars' atmosphere #spacetravel #mars #marslander #nasa #missioncontrol #spaceprobes #deepspacemissions #inspiring (at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory)
