The reactions of those who saw the Ariane 6 rocket launch with MTG-I2

Euronews Portugal31 August 2026 at 10:50

The Ariane 6 rocket was launched from French Guiana carrying the MTG-I2 satellite. This launch represents another step in European space exploration.

The MTG-I2 is a new generation satellite that is part of the European meteorological monitoring system. It is part of a family of satellites designed to improve the forecasting and monitoring of atmospheric conditions in Europe.

This launch reinforces European commitment to meteorological monitoring, demonstrating the continuity of Europe's efforts to maintain its technological independence in this strategic area.

Euronews spoke with several people present at the event to capture the reactions and emotion of the spectators in front of the Ariane 6 launch with the MTG-I2.

After all, the planets don't actually orbit exactly around the Sun

For decades, we've learned that planets orbit the Sun, but this is only a simplification for educational purposes. In reality, both the Sun and the planets orbit around a common point called the barycenter, which is the center of mass of the solar system. This point can be slightly displaced from the center of the Sun due to the gravitational influence of the planets, especially the most massive ones like Jupiter. When the mass of the Sun and the planets is considered together, the Sun also moves slightly, meaning no celestial body is completely stationary in the solar system.
