    🆕 This relic from our galaxy’s formation has had its history revealed by Webb and @HUBBLE_space 🕵️‍♂️ 1/3
    A dramatically crowded starfield that looks like a just-shaken snow globe. The black background of space, which is clearer at the edges, is covered by thousands of tiny white, orange, and blue points of light, which are stars. The stars are most concentrated in the centre, forming a roughly circular orb, and sparser at the edges of the image. Several larger orange stars, particularly those largest near the edges of the frame, have prominent diffraction spikes.

    On a dark background, the Moon nearly covers the Sun, leaving only a bright crescent visible on the left-hand side. The Sun's surface looks active, with bright yellow glowing loops sticking out from it. The Sun emits a yellow-orange glow that extends around the dark Moon, and faintly lights up the Moon's left side. Craters are faintly visible on the Moon's surface. The top right has an ESA logo, and the bottom left has text reading “solar eclipse; coming to Europe”

    And that's a wrap on the #ILA2026 Industry Days. My main takeaway: space is changing. Not only in the way we DO space, but also with its growing recognition as a agent for solving our most pressing challenges. Let us stay grounded in strategic cooperation, enhanced autonomy, and
