Issue 6 – Take Off
Read in the fully formatted PDF of the Europlanet Magazine.
The Europlanet Magazine will be three years old this June! Our initial vision for a 24-page
publication hugely underestimated the potential content coming from our wonderfully active community. Issue 6 is a bumper-edition of 56 pages that shows the huge range of planetary-related activities in Europe and beyond.
The cover image of this issue is an AI-generated vision prompted by the title of our main feature, which investigates how AI and Machine Learning can contribute to planetary science. Our Commkit column looks at what AI tools mean for outreach and dissemination. We have an update on Europlanet’s programme to support colleagues in Ukraine. We report on the outcomes of the Europlanet Research Infrastructure Meeting (ERIM) last June and the ongoing work to make Europlanet sustainable. Our Planetary Perspectives interview introduces the newly-elected members of the Europlanet Society Executive Board. We also have a glimpse behind the scenes of the integration of a space mission with an article on The Making of the ‘The Making of Juice’.
Many thanks to everyone that has contributed and made the Europlanet Magazine a success!
Anita Heward, Editor.
