Fly! aims to make space missions accessible for all. For the first time, ESA is exploring whether an astronaut with a physical disability could embark on a long duration mission to the International Space Station. At the heart of the Fly! Project is John McFall, a former Paralympic athlete and orthopaedic surgeon who became a leg amputee after a motorcycle accident. The programme demonstrates ESA’s commitment to increasing diversity and expanding its pool of astronaut talent.| www.esa.int

The James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) is the next great space science observatory following Hubble, designed to answer outstanding questions about the Universe and to make breakthrough discoveries in all fields of astronomy. Webb will see farther into our origins: from the formation of stars and planets, to the birth of the first galaxies in the early Universe. Webb is an international partnership between NASA, ESA and CSA. The telescope launched on an Ariane 5 from Europe's Spaceport in Fren...| www.esa.int
Webb captures iconic Horsehead Nebula in unprecedented detail| www.esa.int
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured the sharpest infrared images to date of one of the most distinctive objects in our skies, the Horsehead Nebula. These observations show a part of the iconic nebula in a whole new light, capturing its complexity with unprecedented spatial resolution.| www.esa.int

Astronomers have discovered a huge filament of hot gas bridging four galaxy clusters. At 10 times as massive as our galaxy, the thread could contain some of the Universe’s ‘missing’ matter, addressing a decades-long mystery.| www.esa.int
Today, the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the Sun’s outer atmosphere – the solar corona. The mission’s two satellites, able to fly as a single spacecraft thanks to a suite of onboard positioning technologies, have succeeded in creating their first ‘artificial total solar eclipse’ in orbit. The resulting coronal images demonstrate the potential of formation flying technologies, while delivering invaluable scientific data that will improve our un...| www.esa.int
