The European Space Agency's image roundup for the week of 17–21 August 2026, published on 21 August, gathers nine items spanning astronaut activity, Earth observation and astronomy.
Among the highlights are ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot during EVA-97, a large iceberg calving from Petermann Glacier, and fuelling of the FLEX mission. The selection also includes an image of the 12 August total eclipse captured by Cayetana Saiz, and two contrasting views of countryside around the Serbian capital, Belgrade, captured on 8 August 2026.
Further entries show ESA and ATMOS during a CDF concept study for Phoenix 3, carbon monoxide from fires in North America, the Cassiopée and εpsilon experiments floating in the Cupola, and an artist's impression of an LKH Milky Way merger.
