Everything’s at stake now. As 20 000 experts from 90 countries gather in #Katowice for the world’s biggest climate forum @COP24, it’s up to all of us to remember there is #NoPlanetB. #COP24 pic.twitter.com/WmxLO8wlVL

Tackling Parkinson’s disease from space. In weightlessness, the LRRK2 protein crystals causing the disease can be grown artificially, much bigger than on Earth. We need these to search for an inhibitor drug. @ISS_Research #Horizons pic.twitter.com/FxypBD1kzL

The toughest thing for me in space is knowing that only a few humans will ever see our planet like this. It will be essential for our species to eventually to change that. #Horizons #COP24 pic.twitter.com/jUMXF1bVvK

A small spark in the sky, with humans inside. These days, the @Space_Station’s visible moving over Europe in the evening for the last time during the #Horizons mission. The next European up here will be @astro_luca launching in 2019 on his #Beyond mission. https://t.co/PzDlyevfi5 pic.twitter.com/c6bQ4RsLDi

Experimenting with two autonomously controlled satellite drones, attempting to tug a piece of “space debris” on a tether. Such systems could help to keep Earth orbit clean in the future. #spheres @ISS_Research #Horizons pic.twitter.com/n6AxMzZkKC

The famous and gigantic Perito Moreno glacier in Argentina. We can see glaciers thinning and retracting all over the world. Your grandchildren might never see one in their lifetime. #Horizons pic.twitter.com/k1YmZWAihg

Ever see a blue lightning flash in a thunderstorm? I hadn’t either, until now. And I even managed to catch it on a timelapse (accidentally, I’ll admit). @Astro_Andreas pic.twitter.com/2wvcoSOYhq

Expedition 57 continues at full speed. We have a crew of 6 on board @Space_Station, a freshly docked @SpaceX #Dragon full of experiments to be installed, a Russian EVA tomorrow, crew return preparations, and one week of handover time left to prep the new crew. #Horizons pic.twitter.com/DGfqlZM8lS

A rare sight: 4 different spaceships in one photo. Overall there are 6 spacecraft docked to the International @Space_Station right now, to utilise this unique laboratory to the max. 2 x Soyuz, 2 x Progress, a Cygnus and a Dragon. pic.twitter.com/0y1rVjpwLZ
