Welcome to the YouTube channel of the European Space Agency - ESA.
ESA is Europe's gateway to space.
Its mission is to shape the development of Europe's space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world.
SPACE exploration is a collective journey.
This is why 23 European countries are pooling resources, putting Europe at the forefront of space science, technology and applications.
SPACE also means fun.
Our team produces clips with the best images of Earth and of the Universe, with astronauts and other space events for you to watch and share.

Did we just spot a ghost in space? 👻 👀
Look closely… a ghostly figure seems to be lurking among the cosmic clouds.
Hubble and Webb turned their eyes towards the Cat’s Head Nebula, a star-forming region about 7,500 light-years away in the Carina Nebula. Seen at different wavelengths, each view reveals the region in a different light. 🐈⬛✨
1️⃣ Webb, mid-infrared: highlights warm dust and intricate structures within the nebula.
2️⃣ Hubble: visible light reveals the dark cloud of gas and dust.
3️⃣ Webb, near-infrared: peers through the dust, revealing many more stars.
Who knew the cosmos could be this spooky? 🎃
Send this to someone who loves the spooky side of space 👻
