Happy Thursday, Space Fans, and welcome to your daily dose of space news. Our top story today has us looking back - WAY BACK - to what may be one of the most primitive stars we've ever seen. Here's why scientists are hunting Population III stars.
And that's not all. Famed 'A Man On The Moon' author Andy Chaikin weighs in on Artemis 2 and Apollo's legacy, we've got new details on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS and Blue Origin is gearing up to reuse New Glenn for the 1st time! See it all below.

That's right, space fans. If Artemis 2 has you hungry for more moon missions, you can catch 4 full seasons of "For All Mankind" - plus parts of Season 5 - on Apple TV free for 7-day in a free trial. And it's just one of our top streaming deals. See them all here.

For Andy Chaikin, author of "A Man on the Moon," as Artemis 2 approached, his anticipation was mixed with uncertainty. Would this new Moon mission spark the wonder and excitement felt during Apollo? Those doubts didn't last long...

You won't want to miss this, space fans. The Comet C/2025 R3 PanSTARRS is days away from its closest pass of the sun during an event known as perihelion, making the next few days the best time to see this icy visitor from beyond. Here's where to look.

Comet PanSTARRS isn't the only bright light in the sky to see. The annual Lyrid meteor shower from asteroid Phaethon is officially underway. Here's what to expect and how to see it.

I promised you a Blue Origin New Glenn update and this news has us excited. The private company is poised to join the reusable rocket club with its first reused New Glenn first stage this weekend. Here's how it's going so far.

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may be leaving Earth for ever, but not before Europe's JUICE probe took a look and found something surprising: It's unleashing far more water into space than we ever thought. Here's how we know.

NASA wants to build a moon base by 2032, but how to do it is a bit of an open question. Now, Max Space has an idea for a space base that grows. It's an - ahem - expansive plan, to say the least. Here's how the new habitat works.

For our space photo of the day, we have to illuminate the unseen. This new image from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument reveals what scientists say is the best 3D map of the universe EVER. Every single tiny point on the map? That's a galaxy. See how DESI did it.

We still can't escape the moon. Our space history flashback today takes us back to 1972, when NASA's Apollo 16 launched to the moon on this day! Apollo 16 was NASA's fifth lunar landing and the penultimate mission of the entire Apollo program. See how it happened here.

And that's going to be a wrap for our daily space news today.
Thanks so much for reading to the end. As a reward, here's something to look out for soon on Space.com: NASA's Artemis 2 moon astronauts met the press this afternoon, and Josh Dinner will have the story. We also got a heat shield update straight from commander Reid Wiseman, himself, so look out for those stories!
See you all tomorrow and keep looking up!
