Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌍 🌏
To mark this special day, we’re tuning in to @sen, the world’s first continuous 4K video livestream from space.
Sen’s cameras are hosted on our Columbus module of the International @Space_Station, with data delivered via the @AirbusSpace platform.
Streaming in real time, it shows breathtaking views of our planet as the International Space Station passes over cities, oceans and deserts.
Watch Earth from above, just like our astronaut @SophieAdenot does on the #εpsilon mission.

❗️New study by @LindaMSee and @ZigaMalek shows how heatwaves will affect Europe’s cattle by 2050!
Read on: iiasa.ac.at/news/jan-2026/he…
#sustainability #Agriculture #ClimateAction #Policy
🐄☀️ Climate change is reshaping agriculture. A new study shows 11–22% of Europe’s cattle could face 15+ additional heatwave days per year by ~2050, threatening animal welfare, productivity & livelihoods. Targeted adaptation policies are urgently needed.
