Describe the Ariel space telescope
The Ariel space telescope, which will study the atmospheres of distant worlds, has the green light to proceed.
European Space Agency (Esa) member states formally adopted the project on Thursday, signing off two years of feasibility studies. The near-billion-euro observatory is now clear to launch in 2029.
Ariel will probe the gases that shroud exoplanets to try to understand how these objects formed and how they have evolved through time. The findings are expected to help put the nature of our own Solar System in some wider context.
Hi
I seem to have seen fragments of the Ariel with the gold and yellow colours and shapes that where coming through.
The drawing on page 3 it felt like I was really viewing and looking up around at the stars.
Would say this has been a successful view my best so far anyway.

Dark sky and stars! Nice.
Thank you. :-)
Good job. I see you explored the site a number of times. I’ve never tried that. Interesting. Thanks for participating.
Doing this was initially discouraging because I had the feeling of getting nothing at all, but it turned out part of me was picking up some aspect of the signal. Part of our practicing must be to learn to just relax.
