As we reach mid-week, we've got another day of exciting space news to follow.
On Tuesday, SpaceX announced it would be investing $100 billion into the construction of a new facility known as Starbase Louisiana, a sprawling new manufacturing and launch facility that could host up to 10 pads for the company's massive Starship rocket. The United States government recently announced plans to boost infrastructure in order to support up to 1,000 launches each year, so things are definitely advancing towards a much busier future in Earth's orbit. In other news, we've got a deep dive look into the instruments inside NASA's next generation Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, a stellar surprise found in an old Hubble image, and a geomagnetic storm warning on the heels of a recent solar flare. Could we see widespread northern lights this week?
We've got all that and more right here at Space.

Betelgeuse may be a well-known and often-studied stellar object, but that doesn't mean astronomers aren't capable of capturing this doomed star in a completely new light.

Our eyes are on the skies over the next few days as we await the potential impacts of an oncoming geomagnetic storm and the partial lunar eclipse that will be seen by nearly a billion people tomorrow on Aug. 27. Will you stay up to watch it? Lunar eclipses are a great way to see the curvature of Earth in real time without having to travel to space. We're also counting down to the launch of NASA's next-generation Roman Space Telescope, currently set for Sunday Aug. 30. We'll be reporting live from Kennedy Space Center for launch day; be sure to follow along with us for live updates and more. And remember: to stay up to date with all things space, you can now get Space.com right in the palm of your hand with our new app available now on iOS and Android. Ad astra,
