The European Space Agency's image roundup for 10-14 August 2026, published on 14 August, collects eight images from across its missions and facilities.
Among them, astronaut Sophie Adenot is shown preparing for her first spacewalk. A Webb image titled "Lion Nebula roars to life" appears in the set, along with a view labelled "IRS 3 Field" made with the NIRCam and MIRI instruments. The agency describes an artificial solar eclipse produced by the Proba-3 mission, and includes the 12 August total eclipse as imaged by Marina Prol.
Other entries cover SCAPE suits, which ESA says are needed for protection when working with propellants, and Galileo Second Generation compatibility tests at Thales Alenia Space. One Sentinel-2 image is rendered in false colour using the satellite's near-infrared channel. The page does not give further details on the individual images beyond their captions.
