First images From Copernicus Sentinel-5A

Handout photo dated October 13, 2025 shows Copernicus Sentinel-5A has delivered its first images after its launch on 13 August 2025, marking a significant milestone in the monitoring of air quality from space. The Sentinel-5 mission provides observations of key air pollutants, essential climate variables, and stratospheric ozone, which is the protective layer shielding life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. This visualisation, created with Sentinel-5A data acquired on 13 October 2025, shows atmospheric concentrations of two trace gases: ozone (O₃) and formaldehyde (HCHO). The image on the left presents the formaldehyde vertical column density.

The image on the right shows a global map of ozone. The hole in stratospheric ozone above Antarctica is clearly visible, with column den

Their joyful celebration reflected both the exhilaration of the Expo’s successful conclusion and the tinge of sadness that comes with saying goodbye. Amid laughter, music, and shared camaraderie, the atmosphere became infectious, spreading throughout the train as everyone joined in the spontaneous farewell. In that moment, it seemed that the unspoken motto was clear: “Let’s all part with a smile.”
