We are 9 days away from the first sunrise for over three months here at Concordia Station #Antarctica, but already the sun reminds us of its presence like a wildfire on the cold horizon.

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

🎉 #Artemis II update: Integrity is back on Earth! At 01:07 BST/02:07 CEST, Orion and its crew splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean.
🚀 Our European Service Module propelled Orion over 1 million km through deep space, before burning up in Earth's atmosphere, its job complete 🔥

The Artemis II mission reminds me of these 1960s photos of NASA astronauts training in Iceland because they felt the terrain would be similar to what they'd encounter on the moon. The outfits are so great, even some 60 years later.

✅#Artemis II update: end of Flight Day 2, Orion is moving at 5632 km/h, 183 936 km from Earth and 244 298 km from the Moon. Taken by a camera on one of the European Service Module's solar arrays, the Moon at 250 735 km distance (pic: NASA). Graphic from https://t.co/ui4ffrxn1q

✅ #Artemis II update: countdown has started for launch. Liftoff of the crewed lunar mission is scheduled for 1 April 23:24 BST/00:24 CEST 2 April. NASA reports currently 80% chance of favourable weather conditions. @esaspaceflight @AirbusSpace @asc_csa

Really excited to kick off the BBC’s space podcast ‘13 Minutes Presents: Artemis ll’ with myself, Maggie Aderin and @KristinFisher . This is a daily podcast bringing you all the news on the Artemis ll mission as it happens. First episode is out today on @bbcsounds.

The final runner has returned from loop 1. “This mud sucks. What’s it made of? Grease?” #BM100

With Artemis II just weeks away, this years anniversary of the Apollo 1 fire - today in 1967 - and Kennedy's sentiment from his speech 5 years earlier, feels especially poignant.
As well as featuring Ed White on the cover, the book and exhibition close with a tribute to the crew.

Chomolungma, Everest from space. My first photo from our first orbit in 2026 was of sunrise painting the Himalaya. It’s a place I’ve never been, though I hope this isn’t the closest I’ll ever get to such mountains. From this distance, even Earth’s tallest peaks look like not much more than a wrinkled bedsheet, but my imagination is easily lost in the view. What incredible sculptures by the artist time. I’m left feeling both very big and very small, all at once. Happy New Year to all on my favorite planet!

57 years ago today - December 21, 1968.
Apollo 8.
The very first photograph of the whole Earth taken by one of us 🌎

If all goes to plan, in the next few months, the first such photograph in over half a century will be taken, on Artemis II.

The Moon sinks away over Ron Evan's shoulder during his deep space EVA, on the journey back to Earth #OTD in 1972.
This was our last voyage to the Moon, but if all goes to plan, we'll finally return in 2-4 months' time.

Europe's nighttime glow from space 🌍

This first colour mosaic of the continent at night was created from 7000+ pictures taken by astronauts on the International @Space_Station.

Exactly 25 years ago, at 09:21 UTC, the era of continuous human presence on the International @Space_Station began.

Since Crew One took up residence in 2000, 21 @esa astronauts have lived and worked on this orbital outpost, conducting essential research to benefit life on Earth.

Toss a coin to your witcher - or give a medallion to your astronaut ⚔️🚀.
@esa's @astro_slawosz carried two medallions from The Witcher to the International @Space_Station on the #Ignis mission - a tribute to his Polish heritage and the creativity that fuels European spaceflight 💫

How do you use the toilet in space? 🚽🚀

The most frequently asked question in spaceflight history, answered! 😅

It's #WSW2025 and the theme is “Living in Space". 👩‍🚀

In 1991, Helen Sharman became 🇬🇧’s first astronaut when she launched to the Mir space station as a research cosmonaut. 🚀👩‍🚀

Her mission lasted 8 days, during which time she conducted medical and agricultural experiments. 🌍

🚰 The International @Space_Station recycles up to 80% of its water.

👨‍🚀 Astronauts drink water recycled from their sweat, urine, and exhaled breath.
