On June 2nd, 2023, the European Space Agency will likely be livestreaming images from the Mars Express, a spacecraft that first launched ago, per the agency’s announcement on Wednesday. The stream will happen for one hour, starting on June 2nd at 11:45AM ET and can show latest images every 50 seconds as they arrive straight from the Express’ Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC).
The announcement points out that the photographs won’t be “live” per se, because it takes anywhere from three to 22 minutes for them to achieve the Earth because of the famously slow speed of sunshine. (That’s a joke — light is, to our knowledge, still the record holder for universal speed.)
