Time to spread your wings! 🤩 Huge congratulations to Adenot Sophie and Raphaël Liégeois! They'll be the first of my new friends and colleagues #TheHoppers to fly to the International Space Station in 2026. Can't wait to see what you achieve. Their assignments were announced today at the

☄️😍 ESA’s fireball camera in Cáceres, Spain, spotted this stunning meteor last night!

Our Planetary Defence Office are currently analysing the size and trajectory of the object to assess the chance that any material made it to the surface.
