ALL ABOARD A DOUBLE-DECKER TRAIN

How It Works UK

Issue 211

Eurostar's new two-tier Celestia trains will take to the tunnels in 2031

- WORDS AILSA HARVEY

Since 1994, people have been able to cross the English Channel - the sea that separates the UK from mainland Europe - by journeying underneath it through the Channel Tunnel.

Instead of sailing across the Channel by boat or soaring over the sea by plane, this 31.4-mile rail tunnel enables passengers to zoom along the seabed inside a high-speed train. And from January 2031, Eurostar’s Channel Tunnel-traversing trains will be upgraded to become the first double-decker trains to use the tunnel. These 200-metre-long trains go by the name Celestia, derived from the Latin word caelestis, meaning heavenly. One of the primary goals in creating Celestia carriages is to provide a relaxing and smooth journey between landmasses, with more space and comfort as a priority.

ASTRONAUTS SEE COMET LEMMON 'ABSORBED' BY AURORAE

For skywatchers, scientists and even the astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS), the skies have been active. The Sun has released its largest eruptions of 2025, sparking a series of aurorae that have reached as far south as Mexico. While astronauts on the ISS had to take shelter during the recent solar storms to avoid potentially dangerous radiation, they did manage to capture this image of Comet Lemmon appearing near the aurorae on Earth.

A high-fibre diet may ‘rejuvenate' immune cells that fight cancer

Microbes in the gut can help the immune system fight cancer, and a fibre-rich diet may be the key to unlocking those benefits, a study in mice suggests. The immune system is a key player in the body’s battle against cancer. On the front line of this resistance are CD8+ killer T cells, a type of immune cell that marauds around tumours and then exterminates the cancerous cells. But after each successive battle, these cells become worn out and don’t find tumours as effectively. As such, treatments that provide the cells with enough pep to finish their job are in high demand.
