Article Summaries:

  • ESA’s “Week in Images” (16‑20 Feb 2026) showcased a mix of space‑science highlights and Earth‑observing events. The series opens with astronaut Sophie Adenot performing a workout at the start of the εpsilon mission, followed by a stark image of severe flooding in France. Other Earth‑focused shots include the loading of the “Smile” ship at Amsterdam’s port, a view of the Yellow River Delta in China, and a 5G laboratory on wheels. Space imagery features a close‑up of Uranus (January 2025), a dark galaxy near the Perseus Cluster (CDG‑2), and a stellar lifecycle in a nearby spiral galaxy. The week also highlights the Copernicus Sentinel‑2 over south‑central Morocco, Proba‑2’s annular solar eclipse view, and Mediterranean heatwaves.
