🚢 Soon to be frozen in space and time, this alien-looking vessel is beginning its first mission.

🧊 For 8 months, a crew of 12 won't leave the drifting ice in the Arctic to study how how life adapts to isolation & extremes in a region very sensitive to climate change.

🚀 Europe is taking a major step towards autonomous cargo transportation in low Earth orbit.

@esa.int has signed a contract with The Exploration Company under ALADDIN for an initial Nyx demonstration mission to the International Space Station and future cargo services.

"Day 189 orbit 2929 — During the short periods of waiting, I find it very satisfying to look ahead in the procedures and find ways to gain a few minutes, for instance by gathering cables for the next steps! Multitasking – I’m a huge fan! 😊" says @esa.int's Sophie Adenot.

👩‍🚀 And she's back in!

After six hours and 23 minutes in the vacuum of space, @esa.int astronaut Sophie Adenot is back inside the International Space Station.

Sophie has made history as the first French woman to perform a spacewalk.

🔓✨ The hatch is open!

@esa.int astronaut Sophie Adenot stepped outside the International Space Station for the first time.

This is the 31st spacewalk by a European astronaut, the first for
Sophie, and the first by a French woman astronaut. 👩‍🚀🎉

That being said, I’ve got exciting news: this 18 August, it will be my turn to head outside the Station in order to replace a Space-to-Ground Antenna. This piece of equipment is crucial for transmitting data and high‑speed communication.

One EVA complete for August, two more to prepare!

Day 174 orbit 2696 — For years, yoga has been one of my favourite ways to find balance and unwind… and that has not changed on board the International Space Station!
And yes, yoga feels a little different when gravity is no longer part of the equation!

Empty space acting like a lens? NASA's IXPE space telescope observed magnetar 1E 1547-5408 and gathered strong evidence for "vacuum birefringence"—a 90-year-old quantum electrodynamics theory predicting extreme magnetic fields alter empty space! 🌌

1/3
This illustration depicts the complex radio and X-ray emission from a magnetar. In the center, the magnetar is a bright blue ball amidst a starry sky, surrounded by thin blue lines showing the looping arcs of its magnetic field. Bright white plumes of particles emanate from the top right and bottom left of the magnetar, aligned with the poles of the magnetic field, and stream out into space. The top right plume is thicker with a cone near the surface formed by two thin white disks inside showing the main location of the magnetar’s radio emission. This depicts the lens effect theorized to be created by strong magnetic fields. Three light blue wavy lines between the disks represent particles aligning as they pass through these “lenses.” Below, another cone represents the main location of the magnetar’s X-ray emission with three purple wavy lines between the “lenses” and a fainter plume streaming into space. The image is watermarked “Artist’s concept.” Credit: NASA/Pablo Garcia

As of today, the use of AI becomes more transparent in the EU.

Here’s how EU law makes sure AI works for you, in full openness ↓
