The progress of the East Side Access construction in Long Island City, Queens, as of December 20, 2012.
This photo shows work underway on one of the most challenging parts of the entire project: Excavating a tunnel under Northern Boulevard, while simultaneously supporting the overhead roadway, the overhead underground subway (E/M/R), and the elevated subway (N/Q).
To ensure stability, the tunnel was excavated in seven separate horizontal segments, or “drifts." And because the ground is soft at this site and difficult to control during excavation, it was frozen to allow for increased control and rigidity.
Workers had to drive a new set of foundation pilings into the ground to temporarily support the elevated structure during construction. They then jacked up the line a fraction of an inch to shift the weight to the temporary supports, which you can see in some views running vertically through the newly built tunnel. Those supports will be removed after the weight of the elevated subway is shifted back to the walls of the tunnel, which has been engineered to carry the load.

On 7 October 2018 we opened the doors of ESTEC, our technical heart in the Netherlands, and welcomed more than 7600 people on a day full of activities including meet-and-greet with astronauts, tours around our test rooms, learning about the science in science fiction, and about the activities ESA does in all its establishments around Europe and beyond.

The ExoMars Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System, CaSSIS, captured this view of the rim of Korolev crater (73.3ºN/165.9ºE) on 15 April 2018. The image is a composite of three images in different colours that were taken almost simultaneously. They were then assembled to produce this colour view.

The Art and Science Exhibition Part III consists of a scientific educational part showing some of the most beautiful satellite images of the Earth, curated by ESA, along with some interactive terminals providing the scientific background information. Several examples of artistic works with satellite imaging and historical references to the field comprise the second part of this exhibition.
This satellite image is also part of the Spaceship Earth Exhibition (2015) at Ars Electronica Center, Linz.
