ESA releases a timelapse video showing Earth and the Moon from the International Space Station.
The footage was recorded during the Ignis mission by ESA astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski.
Uznański-Wiśniewski spent 20 days on the ISS as part of the Ignis mission.
The video shows Earth's curved horizon and the Moon orbiting above our planet.
The Cupola, the ISS’s observation module, served as the viewing platform.
The mission supported science across multiple Ignis experiments in Poland.
Uznański-Wiśniewski flew to the ISS on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on June 25, 2025.
The ISS orbits Earth roughly every 90 minutes at an altitude of about 400 km.
The article emphasizes the visual beauty of space views captured from the ISS.
Credit for the video goes to ESA and NASAIain Todd wrote the article.

Space exposure changed how phages and bacteria interact, slowing infection and guiding a different evolutionary path.
Bacteria developed mutations in stress-response and nutrient-management genes in space.
Space-driven phage mutations helped phages keep binding to their bacterial targets.
Some space-adapted phages were especially effective against urinary tract infection bacteria.
Researchers say space-driven adaptations helped engineer phages with superior activity on Earth.
The findings appear in PLOS Biology from a Wisconsin–Madison and Rhodium Scientific team.
Experiments ran 25 days with Earth and space setups to compare outcomes.
The space study focused on Escherichia coli and T7 bacteriophage interactions.
Spaceflight may offer new routes to counter antibiotic resistance via phage therapy.
The work was directed by Vatsan Raman at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
