Ozone, good or bad?
Both!
High up in the stratosphere, ozone is important because it protects life on Earth from the Sun’s harmful rays of ultraviolet radiation.
But lower down in the atmosphere, ozone is an air pollutant.
While the ozone layer may be healthier than it was, it is critical that it continues to be carefully monitored and satellites can help.
Using data from the Sentinel-5P satellite, this animation shows changes in ozone over Antarctica between 1 November and 20 November 2018.

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service is now using measurements of atmospheric ozone from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite in daily forecasts of air quality. .

Venice seen from space
Today, we celebrate reaching 200,000 followers with this gorgeous image of Venice taken by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission. In this perfectly-timed capture, a blanket of clouds is seen approaching the Venice lagoon and seemingly stopping short against the 11 km Lido sandbar. Can you spot the S-shaped Grand Canal in the centre of the image Copyright contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2019), processed by ESA, CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO

⚛️ The publication of Copernicus' model in his book " De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) ", just before his death in 1543, was a major event in the history of science, triggering the Copernican Revolution and making a pioneering contribution to the Scientific Revolution. Copernicus was born and died in Royal Prussia, a region that had been part of the Kingdom of Poland since 1466.
__________
A polyglot and polymath, he obtained a doctorate in canon law and was also a mathematician, astronomer, physician, classics scholar, translator, governor, diplomat, and economist. In 1517 he derived a quantity theory of money—a key concept in economics—and in 1519 he formulated an economic principle that later came to be called Gresham's law.

Lake Disappointment in Australia
This false image taken by the Copernicus Sentinel mission shows Lake Disappointment in one of the most remote areas of Australia. Early explorer Frank Hann is believed to have discovered the lake in 1897. He was convinced that a series of creeks he had been following in the east Pilbara area would lead to a freshwater lake and drinking water supply. He was so disappointed to find a salt lake at the end of his journey that he gave the lake its memorable name.

Bagabag Island in Papua New Guinea
May the 4th be with you, Star Wars fans! To celebrate, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over Bagabag Island in the Madang Province of Papua New Guinea that bears a striking resemblance to the most beloved ship of the Star Wars universe, the Millennium Falcon.
