Week in images
The week in space, through ESA’s lens
ESA gathers its visual record from 10–14 August into one weekly collection.
Images remain on ESA’s website so that their captions and individual credits stay attached. Use the source link for the complete gallery.
The collection arrives in a week dominated by the 12 August eclipse. Ground observers recorded totality across parts of the North Atlantic and Europe, while ESA spacecraft supplied a view of the shadow moving across Earth. Together, those images connect an event experienced in minutes with the orbital systems that monitor the planet continuously.
A weekly gallery serves a different purpose from a conventional news story. It is an index of activity: engineering, science, people and places that may otherwise remain separated across programme pages. Captions and credits are part of the reporting because they establish what an image shows, when it was made and who is responsible for it.
Orbit Daily keeps that chain intact by sending readers to ESA’s gallery rather than copying the files into a new context. The visual record is most useful when mission information and rights information travel with the image. This page therefore acts as a guide to the collection, not a substitute for it.
