2025 photo dump

Two tabs worth opening up in full screen are TIME’s Top 100 Photos of 2025 and BBC Science Focus’s 31 jaw-dropping space photos. The first depicts the past year’s major cultural moments — like political conflicts and climate disasters — and everyday life on a human scale, and the second is a gallery of cosmic wonders, catapulting you out to a higher perspective. Both snapshots of existence feel equally important to witness. — CD
