This stunning time-lapse of the Moon was captured by ESA project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski from the International Space Station during the Ignis mission.
Sławosz was launched to the ISS aboard the Dragon spacecraft as part of Axiom Mission 4 on 25 June 2025. The 20-day mission, called Ignis, involved 13 experiments from Polish companies and institutions developed in cooperation with ESA, in addition to three ESA-led experiments. These covered a wide range of disciplines including human research, materials science, biology, biotechnology and technology demonstrations.
The Ax-4 mission is the second commercial human spaceflight with an ESA project

Proteins, the molecular machines of life, are constructed from 20 amino acids in seemingly infinite combinations-up to 10^78 possible sequences for a 60-residue protein. Yet only a tiny subset fold into stable, functional shapes. A new study published in Science reveals that the rules guiding these folds may be far more forgiving than previously assumed. Scientists from the Centre for Geno

GalaxySpace, a commercial space company based in Beijing, has introduced a pioneering rollable solar panel that dramatically reduces satellite bulk while boosting energy efficiency. Presented at a recent conference in Yibin, the new solar wing can be compacted to the size of a water bottle but unfolds in orbit to cover 20 square meters. Xu Ming, CEO of GalaxySpace, explained that the solar
