French astronaut Sophie Adenot is preparing for her first mission to the International Space Station in February 2026, a trip that will make her the first Frenchwoman in space since 2001. During her eight-month stay, she will conduct nearly 200 scientific experiments in microgravity.

New orbital data reveals interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may be on a guided path to Jupiter's Hill radius. Discover why this precise trajectory suggests the visitor could be releasing alien technology into our solar system.

The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by capturing the first-ever detailed images of the sun's south pole earlier this year. This unprecedented view offers scientists a crucial new perspective on our closest star.

ESA's JUICE spacecraft unexpectedly photographed interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS, but thermal protection near the Sun means the pioneering images are 'trapped' onboard until February 2026. Learn why this crucial delay is necessary.

Jupiter's moon Io may host alien life in protected lava tubes. Now, Avi Loeb claims the anomalous interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, potentially a mothership, is maneuvering directly toward the Jovian system.

These are the European Space Agency’s new top 4 space priorities.

The European Space Agency has announced a significant budget increase for the next three years, reaching nearly $26 billion

The Dec 19 close approach of 3I/ATLAS is safe! ESA confirms the interstellar comet is 270 million km away, thanks to a Mars orbiter breakthrough that improved trajectory tracking by a factor of ten.

"These confirmations have been given to us in writing, so this is a very important step."

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is now within 300 million km of Earth. Discover why NASA and ESA are tracking this ancient visitor and how to view it before its closest approach in December 2025.
