This beautiful view of Earth was captured by ESA project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski during the Ignis mission aboard the International Space Station.
Sławosz was launched to the International Space Station aboard the Dragon spacecraft as part of Axiom Mission 4 on 25 June 2025. The 20-day mission, known as Ignis, saw him conduct 13 experiments proposed by Polish companies and institutions in collaboration with ESA, along with three additional ESA-led experiments. These covered a broad range of fields including human research, materials science, biology, biotechnology and technology demonstrations.
Axiom Mission 4 marks the second commercial human spaceflight involving an ESA project astronaut. Ignis was sponsored by the Polish government and supported by ESA, the Polish Ministry of Economic Development and Technology (MRiT), and the Polish Space Agency (POLSA).
