Check out the latest Topical Collection on Evolution of the Solar System: Constraints from Meteorites This open-access collection presents results from the ISSI Workshop "Constraints from Meteorites", held 5–9 June 2023, which aimed to highlight the progress in early Solar System research during the past two decades and from this provide an update on the current knowledge of protoplanetary disk processes, as well as planetesimal and planet formation and their early evolution. Leading experts from the fields of meteoritics and astrophysics were invited and presented the latest progress in their research fields. For the resulting publications, the authors were encouraged to present controversial views and interpretations to illustrate the current limits of our understanding, and, where possible, formulate questions or make suggestions for future research. Editors: Dominik Hezel, Herbert Palme, Jutta Zipfel, Alessandro Morbidelli and Klaus Mezger Find all papers here: https://lnkd.in/gKcexk9i

"Evolution of the Solar System: Constraints from Meteorites" – Space Science Reviews article collection completed: https://lnkd.in/dpAx_vnv This #OpenAccess topical collection, edited by Dominik Hezel, Herbert Palme, Klaus Mezger, Alessandro Morbidelli, and Jutta Zipfel, presents results from the ISSI Workshop "Constraints from Meteorites", held 5–9 June 2023 at the International Space Science Institute(ISSI) in Bern, Switzerland.

💫 Ever wondered what shooting stars can tell us about the edge of space? ISSI’s latest team report dives into how meteors and the mysterious mesosphere–lower thermosphere (MLT) region (80–100 km up) help scientists explore the boundary between Earth’s atmosphere and outer space. From meteor trail physics and seasonal surprises to atmospheric gravity waves and temperature puzzles, this work reveals how tiny cosmic visitors illuminate big scientific questions. 🌠🌍 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eC9rAQDH

📡🌍 Earth Observations & Climate Adaptation at ISSI! A diverse group of scientists co-convened by Narelle van der Wel, Ted Shepherd, Ana María Duran Quesada, Laura García Portela, Mason Majszak, Patricia Nying'uro, HSC, Julienne Stroeve, and Michael Rast is meeting this week at an ISSI Workshop: Opening up Earth Observations for Climate Adaptation — exploring how space-based Earth Observation (EO) data can be made genuinely useful for local climate adaptation and decision-making, not just global monitoring. 🛰️🌱 This interdisciplinary event digs into data usability, open science, and bridging global EO with local needs — especially for vulnerable communities. 🌎🤝 👉 Learn more and follow highlights here: https://lnkd.in/efZ9NjZn #EarthObservation #ClimateAdaptation #OpenScience #ISSI

We care about details. At ISSI, inspiring and communicating science runs through everything we do — right down to the envelopes we send. ✨📬 We are delighted to send out letters featuring beautifully designed Swiss stamps of the Sun, Moon, and planets. A warm thank-you to Stefan Scherrer for the stunning artwork, and to the Die Schweizerische Post for making this little cosmic journey possible. Sometimes the smallest details carry the biggest inspiration. 🌍🪐 #SpaceScience #ISSI #GraphicDesign #SolarSystem #ScienceCommunication
