Engineer, pilot & European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot is the first French woman to conduct a spacewalk, 47 days ago. #WorldSpaceWeek 🚀 The lead astronaut for the ESA Epsilon mission, which launched to the ISS in Feb 2026 & is scheduled to return to Earth this week. #WomenInSTEM #France

Split-image composition with two distinct photographs showcasing French engineer, military pilot, and ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot (born 1982), the first French woman to conduct a spacewalk. The image highlights her historic role in modern space exploration during the 2026 Epsilon mission. In the top photograph, a formal studio portrait frames Adenot from the chest up against a deep blue background. She looks directly into the camera with a bright, welcoming smile. She wears a bulky white Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit, which features a circular European Space Agency (ESA) patch on the center console and a prominent French tricolor flag patch on her left shoulder. The French national flag is also visible on the far left of the frame. The bottom photograph captures a candid, action-oriented moment inside the International Space Station's Cupola module. Adenot is positioned horizontally in the microgravity environment, her long brown hair floating upward toward the station ceiling. Smiling enthusiastically, she holds a large professional camera equipped with a long telephoto lens up to her eye, pointing it out through one of the large windows. The curved pane of the window reveals a spectacular, bright view of the Earth's blue surface and swirling white clouds against the blackness of space. The background is filled with the intricate mechanical interior of the station, including brackets, labels, switches, and support gear.

My son's garage band is playing tonight. Their first gig in Seattle. He wrote the songs, and arranged them. This isn't Jazz. He was a rock drummer first, and still loves punk, grunge, rock music. The band has no name yet. They only have 5 songs and been together for a month. Give it a listen.

This is Maricarmen's story. What began with the eviction of 87-year-old woman, has grown into a broader movement demanding action on Spain’s housing crisis. Her case sparked outrage. Now, people across Spain are protesting for affordable, secure housing for everyone.

Nature doesn’t need us. We need nature. When the last forest falls and the last river is poisoned for profit, no amount of money will buy back the air we breathe, the food we eat, or the medicines that heal us. It’s time to shift from exploitation to stewardship. 🌱 #OnePlanet

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

We've won big this year - and our wins have forced the Labour government to change course. But we need far more and urgently. From climate action to an emergency brake on rents - we'll keep the pressure on to bring about the change this country needs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Greens can move Labour in the right direction, says Zack Polanski

The Green leader tells his autumn conference that a vote for his party can force changes from Andy Burnham.
