Sentinel-3A satellite encapsulated within its Rockot fairing, on 9 February 2016, at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia.
Once safely in orbit and fully commissioned, this new satellite will begin its mission to map Earth’s oceans and land surfaces with its powerful optical and radar systems. The Sentinel-3 mission is set to play a key role in the world’s largest environmental monitoring programme – Copernicus.

Little Copernicus is learning rather quickly that his daddy lets him get away with some bad habits, & I didnt have the heart to scold him so there he lays on top of the Fridge, oh well He won't hurt anything up there... Just look at that sweet face... Too Cute..
Crater Copernicus shot through a red filter using my 8 inch SCT on 9th April 2014. the outline of Stadius, the ghost crater can be seen to the right of the picture. This is a mosaic made up of 6 panes.
One of the first images from Sentinel-3A’s Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) shows a long crack running through the ice shelf to the east of the centre part of the Antarctic Peninsula. The crack is about 2 km wide, but widens to 4 km or more in some places. There are also finer cracks and structures visible in the ice shelf. Structure in the cloud, cloud shadows and details of the land emerging from the ice can also be seen. The image was acquired on 3 March 2016 at 11:53 GMT with the instrument’s visible channel. As the SLSTR scans Earth’s surface, it senses visible light and infrared light (heat) in a number of different spectral channels. The thermal infrared channels will soon be working when the instrument has finished outgassing water vapour. This is necessary because the infrared channels must be cooled to operate properly. The SLSTR will measure global sea- and land-surface temperatures every day to an accuracy of better than 0.3 K.

This is one of the first images received from Sentinel-3A’s Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR). Acquired with the instrument’s visible channels on 2 March 2016 at 10:04 GMT, this false-colour image features a large part of Europe showing vegetated areas in red. Moreover, the image demonstrates the instrument’s 1400 km-wide swath. The image also clearly shows storm Jake over the UK. As the SLSTR scans Earth’s surface, it senses visible light and infrared light (heat) in a number of different spectral channels. However, the thermal infrared channels will soon be working when the instrument has finished outgassing water vapour. This is necessary because the infrared channels must be cooled to operate properly. Once operational, the thermal infrared channels will measure global sea- and land-surface temperatures every day to an accuracy of better than 0.3 K.

Copernicus Crater formed on our Moon less than one billion years ago when something big, several kilometers across, struck the surface. The impact created a circular crater 93 kilometers across and blew material out in prominent rays. The Apollo 12 astronauts collected samples from one of the rays, evidence of the timing of the impact.
Turkey is currently experiencing several wildfires in the south of the country.
This Copernicus Sentinel-3 image shows some of the smoke across the Antalya, Mersin and Adana provinces early yesterday morning on 29/07/21.

This bronze statue of Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (Mikołaj Kopernik) is located on Krakowskie Przedmieście, in front of the Staszic Palace, the seat of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It was designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen in 1822 and completed in 1830. The monument was funded by the scientist and philosopher Stanisław Staszic as well as donations from the general public.
Soon after the German occupation of Warsaw began in 1939, they placed a large plaque over the statue’s pedestal, proclaiming Copernicus to have been German....
On 11th February 1942, a "minor sabotage" operation was carried out by Maciej Aleksy Dawidowski (code name “Alek”), a young Polish resistance fighter from the “Szare Szeregi” organisation, who removed and hid the German plaque.
Minor sabotage: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_sabotage
The Germans responded by removing the Jan Kiliński statue from Krasińskich Square and hiding it in the vaults of the National Museum. Dawidowski and his comrades in the Szare Szeregi retaliated by daubing the museum with graffiti which stated: "People of Warsaw - I am here - Jan Kiliński", and adding a new plaque to the Copernicus monument on which they had written the following words: "For the removal of the Kiliński statue I am extending winter by two months - Kopernik"....
Szare Szeregi: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Ranks
The statue was damaged during the Warsaw Uprising, after which the Germans knocked it off its pedestal and subsequently stole it as they were evacuating Warsaw. It was later found in the town of Nysa, restored and replaced in its original location in 1949.
In 2007 a representation of Copernicus’ solar system, modelled after an image in his “De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium”, was embedded in the square in front of the monument.
In 2017 a plaque commemorating Dawidowski’s action was placed next to the monument.
There are replicas of the Copernicus monument in Montreal and Chicago....
Selenochromatic image of the great Copernicus crater
Copyright Aldo Ferruggia - Gruppo Astrofili William Herschel, Turin, Italy
I shifted the orientation & perspective of my previous Copernicus image to match an image taken by the Apollo 17 crew in orbit around the moon in 1972. My image was a stack of images taken with iPhone 6 through 8" telescope May 28, 2015.
Copernicus is a lunar impact crater named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus.
Copernicus Crater is visible using binoculars, and is 93km in Diameter & 3.8km deep, located slightly northwest of the center of the Moon's
Earth-facing hemisphere.
The circular rim has a discernible hexagonal form, with a terraced inner wall and a 30 km wide, sloping rampart that descends
nearly a kilometer to the surrounding mare. There are three distinct terraces visible, and arc-shaped landslides due to slumping
of the inner wall as the crater debris subsided.
The central peaks consist of three isolated mountainous rises climbing as high as 1.2 km above the floor.
These peaks are separated from each other by valleys, and they form a rough line along an east-west axis.
Infrared observations of these peaks during the 1980s determined that they were primarily composed of the mafic form of olivine.
I captured this image on 04-17-2016 from my back yard Observatory using my old Orange tube C8,(2000mm), Avx Mount, & QHy5IIL CCD camera,
& 400 avi frames stacked in Registax6.
