Shoot for the stars ✨
While aboard the @Space_Station earlier this year, @Astro_Jeanette captured the perfect shot: a long-exposure photo showcasing streaks of city lights across Western Australia, with swirls of stars glittering above Earth’s golden-red atmosphere

What a day for Europe in space!
Congratulations Sophie Adenot on your second spacewalk!
You installed a spare communications antenna on the Space_Station Z1 truss and connected the electrical and data systems with extraordinary skill and sang froid.

Spacewalk complete ✅
After six and a half hours outside the International Space Station, our astronaut Sophie Adenot is safely back inside.
With today's EVA, Sophie completes her second spacewalk alongside NASA astronaut Anil Menon.
A true demonstration of teamwork in orbit.

How far can life go?
👩🚀 Sophie Adenot is collecting samples from canisters like these, placed outside the International @Space_Station.
🧫 Scientists want to find out whether a spacecraft and its crew release microorganisms and, if so, how many and how far they might travel.

Would also love for @Space_Station to post on BlueSky 🛰️
The International Space Station (who needs a BlueSky account BTW) has been passing over Aotearoa / New Zealand every 90 minutes for the past several days.
This is one of tonight's cycles as seen from our back yard.
The bright (triple) star in the upper right is a-centauri, 4 light-years away.
