📷 This week's @ESA_EO #EarthFromSpace is a @CopernicusEU #Sentinel2 image of the #BurningMan festival in the Black Rock desert, Nevada, taken on 26 August 2024.

📷 This NASA/ESA @HUBBLE_space Telescope image shows NGC 1559, a barred spiral galaxy about 35 million light-years from Earth. This picture is composed of 10 images, each taken with a different filter spanning Hubble’s sensitivity to light, from ultraviolet to near-infrared.

🆕 This NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope image shows the very outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy. Known as the Extreme Outer Galaxy, this region is more than 58 000 light-years from the Galactic centre!

🎥 Awesome views from last week's Vega #VV24 launch, with @CopernicusEU #Sentinel2C on board. 🔊 Relive the launch with sound, slow-mo and multiple angles. 💥 Watch to the end to see first stage separation. 🔗esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… @ESA_transport

Last night, the first satellite in our Cluster quartet safely came back down to Earth in a world-first ‘targeted reentry’. The spacecraft, known as ‘Salsa’, reentered Earth’s atmosphere at 19:27 BST/20:47 CEST over a remote area of the South Pacific Ocean. Not only has Cluster…

NASA and @ESA’s near-Earth object study teams predict that a very small (~1 meter) #asteroid will harmlessly impact Earth’s atmosphere in a few hours at ~12:40pm EDT (~16:40 UTC) and create a fireball off the east coast of the northern Philippines.

📷 This NASA/ESA @HUBBLE_space Telescope image shows the spiral galaxy IC 4709, a swirling disc filled with stars and dust bands with a faint halo surrounding it. The bright region at its core might more remarkable though, this is an active galactic nucleus (AGN).

📷 This image of galaxy cluster MACS0416 was created by combining infrared observations from the NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope with visible light data from the NASA/ESA @HUBBLE_space Telescope.

Our ESA/JAXA @BepiColombo spacecraft makes its 4th Mercury flyby this week, closer to the planet than it’s been before. The manoeuvre will reduce its speed and change direction, plus will be used for imaging and fine-tuning science instruments before the main mission begins…

📽️ @CopernicusEU #Sentinel2C is ready for launch! This new @ESA_EO satellite will soon join its Copernicus Sentinel-2 family in orbit – where it will continue to provide detailed views of Earth’s land and coastal waters.

Our One ESA brochure reveals the #teamwork behind all our missions. From training astronauts to building rockets, explore ESA’s establishments and see how they work together on European space activities. 🔗esa.int/About_Us/ESA_P…

From Paralympic athlete to astronaut. There are no limitations. ESA Astronaut Reserve John McFall delivered the flag at the Opening Ceremony of the #Paralympics in Paris last night, jointly with French sailor and Paralympic champion Damien Seguin. Always go the extra mile!

#MediaInvitation: journalists are invited to attend an online media briefing on 6 September to learn more about the reentry of the first @ESA_Cluster satellite, expected on 8 September. Details and registration 👇🔗esa.int/Newsroom/Press…
