Southern Europe and The Northwestern Mediterranean Coast from The ISS

Southern Europe and The Northwestern Mediterranean Coast from The ISS

Handout - JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Kimiya Yui captured this photo of southern Europe and the northwestern Mediterranean coast from the International Space Station as it orbited 261 miles above Earth on August 30, 2025. At left, the Po Valley urban corridor in Italy shines with the metropolitan areas of Milan and Turin and their surrounding suburbs. Crew members aboard the orbital lab have produced hundreds of thousands of images of the land, oceans, and atmosphere of Earth, and even of the Moon through Crew Earth Observations. Their photographs of Earth record how the planet changes over time due to human activity and natural events. This allows scientists to monitor disasters and direct response on the ground and study a number of phenomena, from the movement of glaciers to urban wildlife.

New DEEP Sea Underwater Habitat Announced

New DEEP Sea Underwater Habitat Announced

Handout render of DEEP Sentinel seafloor scene. A new deep-sea habitat project has been launched by ocean technology and exploration company, DEEP, which has announced its intention to create a permanent human presence under the oceans by 2027. The project is already two years in development, with its base located at the former British National Diving and Activity Centre (NDAC), an 80m-deep, 600m-long flooded quarry in Gloucester, England, which suddenly announced its closure in February 2022. The centrepiece of DEEP’s project is Sentinel, a customisable capsule system designed to be ‘modular, scalable, autonomous, recoverable, re-configurable and re-deployable.’ Sentinel can be tailored to the individual needs of its users, be that a single installation or a network of segments interlinked to form a ‘deep-sea village’, and DEEP claims it will be installed on the sea floor with minimum disturbance to the surrounding ecosystem.
