Gazing at galaxies from the edge of spaceSuperBIT is a wide-field, diffraction-limited optical and near-UV imager of the sky that was designed to travel via the seasonal winds at an altitude of 33 km. Suspended from a scientific balloon rather than a crane, its April 2023 mission took in views of merging galaxy clusters, galaxies, and massive star winds from the stratosphere.

Comparing habitable conditions across different Solar System bodies is key to our understanding of the underlying processes driving long-term habitability.
