Join us live from the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre in Spain, a world-class astronomical observatory located within the path of totality, where scientists, astronomers and special guests will explore the science behind eclipses, the Sun and their wider relevance for space science and Earth.

The broadcast will be hosted by Maggie Aderin, award-winning space scientist and science communicator, and feature ESA's Director of Science Carole Mundell alongside other experts and guests.

From 19:30 CEST onwards, viewers can follow live telescope views of the eclipse, expert commentary and interviews, insights into solar science and space weather, behind-the-scenes coverage from the observatory, and discussions on ESA’s activities linked to the eclipse. The broadcast will be in English.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently the only active moderator of r/esa, and I want to fix that before it becomes a problem rather than after. I plan to stay actively involved for at least the next 6 months, but I'd like to bring on additional moderators now, with an eye toward one or more eventually taking on a senior/lead role -- so the sub has real continuity regardless of what happens to me down the line.

What this means:

• New mods start with standard permissions and get more responsibility as trust builds
• I'll stay actively involved for the next 6 months at minimum, sharing rules rationale, community context, and any settings/automod config
• By the end of that period, I'd like at least one person ready to step into a lead role if needed

What's involved day-to-day:

• Modqueue and reported content
• Spam/off-topic removal
• Occasional rule or flair questions from users
• A few minutes most days, more if you want to get involved in sub direction

What I'm looking for:

• Active, established Reddit accounts with visible history (this is a succession role, so trust matters more than usual)
• Genuine interest in ESA and European space activities
• Reliability and good judgment over experience — I can teach the mod tools
• Willingness to commit to the 6-month transition and think long-term about the sub's direction

How to apply:

Modmail r/esa (not a DM) with:

1. A bit about yourself and your history with the sub/space topics?
2. Any moderation experience?
3. How much time you can commit, and whether you'd be open to a lead role after the transition period?
4. Roughly how long you see yourself sticking around beyond that?

I'll take applications through end-August and follow up with everyone. Thanks for helping make sure r/esa has a stable future.

PS: There will be a quiz to answer....
