Polish Astronaut Captures Breathtaking Earth–Moon Timelapse From the ISS

Polish ESA astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski spent 20 days aboard the International Space Station for the Ax-4 Ignis mission, filming a nine-minute timelapse from the Cupola that shows Earth’s atmosphere and the Moon rising. ESA released the clips alongside a hands-on science agenda—13 Polish-institution experiments and 3 ESA-led studies—underscoring international collaboration and tech development for future space missions; the Ax-4 mission launched June 25, 2025 aboard a SpaceX Dragon.
