ESA’s week-long Living Planet Symposium kicked off today in Vienna, Austria, bringing together scientists and researchers from around the globe. Throughout the week, we’ll be covering the bigger stories in depth, such as the first images from ESA’s Biomass mission published earlier today – but we’re also sharing some daily snapshots of other significant happenings.
So, today’s few ‘extras’ include Sentinel-2 marking 10 years in orbit, ESA selects Telespazio to run the ground segment for the TRUTHS mission and listen to EarthCARE data transformed into a dragon’s song for peace.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday slammed attacks on Iran as “unprovoked” and “unjustified” in a meeting with Tehran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, but did not announce any concrete support to his key ally in the Middle East.
“This absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran is unjustified,” Putin said in televised remarks to Araghchi.
Putin has pitched himself as a mediator between Iran and Israel, an idea rejected by US President Donald Trump last week
WSJ
- The US asked Arab officials to convey to Iran that Israel was seeking to end the conflict soon. Iran responded that it was not yet ready to back down, because it 'feels obligated' to respond to the US attack
- Israel is looking to wind down its military campaign against Iran in the coming days. Israeli officials believe they are close to completing their list of targets and hope this will open a path to end the fighting 1/2
- Arab officials say the U.S. has asked them to relay Israel’s desire to de-escalate, but Iran has so far signaled it is not ready to stop, citing the need to respond to the American attacks
Israeli Channel 11
- Israel sent a formal message to Iran saying Tel Aviv wants to "end the war".
Iran responded by saying that the time for ending the war "has not yet come"
The Iranian Army announced on Sunday evening that the commander of the 71st Mechanized Infantry Brigade (Abuzar), Brigadier General Ali Hossein Mohammadi, and five of his comrades martyred during a defensive mission on the country's western border.www.saba.ye

Ich finde solche Initiativen eigentlich total klasse.
Was ich noch ausbaufähig finde, ist, dass die Diskussion nicht mehr so sehr auf Twitter verengt geführt wird. Die Social-Media-Welt besteht nicht nur aus 𝕏, sondern aus vielen anderen Plattformen, die die Daten ihrer Nutzenden auf viel krassere Art ausschlachten und monetarisieren.

Ukraine supports the US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, stating that Iran's nuclear weapons program must be brought to an end.Viktor Nazarenko (RBC-Ukraine)
Israel also supplied Drones to Russia after the Crimea invasion, didn't join sanctions and as reported by an Ukrainian official demanded Ukraine to surrender behind closed doors.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E…
Now with the US getting itself dragged into another Iraq style war by Israel, Ukraine could suffer in two major ways:
Ukraine is being played by the US and Israel but either plays along because Zelensky is high on Zionism or because Ukraine by now is owned by the US and he has to say everything Trump wants him to say. Either way this is bad for the Ukrainian people and it is delusional to think that anyone in the West would feel emboldened now to bomb Russia.
Israel also supplied Drones to Russia after the Crimea invasion, didn't join sanctions and as reported by an Ukrainian official demanded Ukraine to surrender behind closed doors.
This is clear whataboutism. Iran and Israel can both be bad. Ukraine wants max pressure on the Russian war machine. So they cheer the weakening of a Russian military supplier. They also probably figure that if America is itching to fight again, it might as well help them out. They also probably sense the news cycle further shifting away from Ukraine and are trying to bring themselves into the conversation.

Lyrics
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
Happy Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Oh, oh, baby
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love. You'll never fool me again
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I gave you my heart
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone special
Special
Someone
Someone
I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone special
Who give me something in return
I'll give it to someone—
Hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone special
I thought you were here to stay
How could you love me for a day
I thought you were someone special
Gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone—
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
You gave it away
I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone—

Capitalism is when the guy who builds a social media app and shares it freely with the world gets next to nothing for their effort while the fascist convicted criminal who uses their work makes billions.
Please, tell me again how capitalism breeds innovation. All it breeds are greedy psychopathic parasites (aka billionaires).

If there is a refusal to provide the corresponding source to such users, that is a case of copyright infringement, which the copyright holders can respond to by permanently terminating the license.
