In one of the most delightful and unexpected celestial crossovers, the European Space Agency (ESA) shared viral video footage of a stuffed Pikachu doll touring the International Space Station. The unusual zero-gravity journey was arranged as part of a formal educational partnership with Pokémon to get younger generations excited about space science. The iconic yellow plush was filmed floating gracefully through the station’s observation cupola, giving it a perfect panoramic view of planet Earth spinning below.
