🌟 Congratulations to Ravit Helled, ESSC panel member for Astronomy and Fundamental Physics, on being awarded the 2024 Farinella Prize! 🌟 Presented at the Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) 2024, this prestigious prize recognises Prof Helled’s groundbreaking research into the internal structures of giant planets, advancing our understanding of planetary formation both in our Solar System and beyond. Her pioneering work on ‘fuzzy’ cores, now confirmed by data from the Juno and Cassini missions, has reshaped our understanding of gas giant formation. Prof Helled said: “I am honoured to receive the 2024 Farinella Prize. I value very much doing research and I enjoy every moment of it. I am grateful for being able to explore planets in the solar system and beyond, and for working with so many outstanding people.” 👏 We at the ESSC are incredibly proud of Prof Helled’s achievements and her contributions to the planetary science community! 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e7k-9vce Europlanet Society European Space Agency - ESA NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration University of Zurich #PlanetaryScience #FarinellaPrize #ESSC #EPSC2024 #Astronomy
