Synchronised 'swimming' on the International Space Station (2021) 🧪
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
This image from ESA’s Mars Express shows the distinctive and fascinating Mawrth Vallis, one of the most promising locations on Mars in the search for signs of life 🧪🔭

Our astronaut Luca Parmitano is assigned as pilot of NASA’s #ArtemisIII mission.
With Europe powering Orion with the European Service Module, this mission will test the critical operations preparing for humankind's return to the Moon.
A strong step forward for ESA–NASA partnership.

This is part of the Orion spacecraft for the Artemis III mission, ESA’s European Service Module ESM-3, inside NASA’s Operations and Checkout Building at KSC in Florida, where it’s just passed acoustic testing. Check those speakers! 😎🤯🖖🤘

This image from ESA’s Mars Express shows part of Mamers Valles, a huge valley system in Mars’s northern hemisphere. The image captures tens of small dust devils: brief, tornado-like whirlwinds that lift dust into the air and carry it across the surface of the Red Planet 🧪🔭
A new season is in!
Yesterday, Earth marked the June solstice when, at 08:24 UTC (10:24 CEST), the Sun reached its most northerly point in the sky.
Just minutes later, the MTG‑I1 satellite captured this view of Earth from 36,000 km above — pretty far away!
