atellite image showing Typhoon Ragasa in the South China Sea on 24 September 2025. The storm has a well-defined circular eye just south of Hong Kong, with dense spiraling cloud bands stretching across southern China, northern Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Land areas are labeled, including Hong Kong, Panultan Island, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, China and Taiwan. The swirling white and purple clouds highlight the storm’s intensity as it moves west-northwest.

Our thoughts are with the communities affected by #Ragasa, the most powerful tropical cyclone of 2025 so far. The Disasters Charter has been activated to provide satellite data on the typhoon impact.

Rainy fall morning in #Paris.
Grenelle market, below Metro line 6.
A highlight every Wednesday morning cycling to work.
This image from Meteosat-12, captured this morning, 22 September 2025, shows Earth on the equinox — when the terminator line runs from pole to pole, dividing the planet into equal halves of light and dark. From space, it appears as a strikingly vertical line.
Coming up tonight at 19:19 BST/20:19 CEST: the September #Equinox! This image from Meteosat-12, taken this morning, shows Earth near the equinox - when the terminator appears as a straight line dividing the planet into equal halves of light and dark.

Good Morning from Paris. Boarding the Eurostar to Rotterdam.
What a continent, where you cross borders freely, on high speed trains, between great cities of the world.
What an achievement to build a continent from 27 states, to jointly build freedom, rights, independence.
Good Morning from Europe.🇪🇺

Wenn es mit 25-70% Wahrscheinlichkeit ein grenznahes Atomkraftwerk zerreißen würde, wären die Nachrichten voll damit. Wenn mit der Wahrscheinlichkeit ein Flugzeug abstürzen würde, würde keiner mehr einsteigen. Was ist das für eine komplette Ignoranz und Unfähigkeit von Menschen, Politik und Medien?

Flyby success! ESA's Juice spacecraft passed Venus at 07:28 CEST on 31 August.
This photo shows our deep-space antenna in Spain in communication with Juice during the flyby.
Juice’s current location, Venus, and its destination, Jupiter, are both visible in the sky ❤️
With SAFE we are producing the capabilities Europe needs most.
We will focus on pan-European projects from drones, cyber defence and air defence systems.
For example, a comprehensive European Air Shield.
It will be a strong symbol of 🇪🇺 unity in defence.
Et voila! Case proven.

Reminder that ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) flies past Venus this weekend. The spacecraft was designed to feel at home in the cold, dark environment of the Jupiter system, and it is too hot at Venus to turn the cameras on. Pics or it didn’t happen? You’ll have to trust us on this one.

Seeing double! ESA's Izaña-2 laser ranging station has begun to track space debris from the Spanish island of Tenerife. In the future, engineers hope to use such lasers to nudge small debris off of a collision course with a satellite. Full documentary at: www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...
