Hurricane Ian made landfall on the Gulf Coast of Florida as a dangerous Category 4 storm on Wednesday as NASA watched live from orbit.
"Hurricane Ian has made landfall as an extremely dangerous hurricane near Cayo Costa, Florida with maximum sustained winds at 150 mph," NHC officials wrote.
The Italian space agency has released its first images from the tiny Light Italian Cubesat for Imaging of Asteroids (LICIACube) spacecraft, which had reached Earth about three hours after NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft successfully impacted the asteroid Dimorphos about 7 million miles (11 million kilometers) from Earth.
The effects of a possible act of energy sabotage are visible from space. On Tuesday (Sept. 27), European leaders reported the discovery of three separate leaks in two Baltic Sea pipelines known as Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, which were built to carry natural gas from Russia to Germany.

All good things must come to an end, and in this case five Lego sets are due to retire in the near future. In total, two Lego space sets and three Lego Star Wars sets will leave shelves in the immediate future, so you'll have to act fast if you want to build any of them.
Most telescopes here on Earth are stationary, bound to a single location, often in a desert or on a mountain peak. But NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) isn't most telescopes.
SOFIA, for which NASA partnered with the German space agency (DLR), is a flying observatory. And it's mission is at an end at long last.
NASA's DART spacecraft didn't nudge its target asteroid toward Earth, but there might be other space rocks of a similar size on a collision course with our planet - and that's why DART's mission is so important.
Hurricane Ian has grown above the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico into an extremely dangerous Category 4 storm after swamping Cuba with 12 inches (30 centimeters) of rain and cutting off power all over the island earlier this week.
The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season started late but is now serving unpleasant surprises.
A NASA astronaut will make soon make a giant leap for diversity. Nicole Mann will become the first Native American woman to fly in space when SpaceX's Crew-5 mission for NASA launches from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. That liftoff is currently scheduled for Oct. 4, though Hurricane Ian could end up pushing it back a bit.
Hurricane Ian has pushed the launch of SpaceX's next astronaut mission for NASA back by at least a day.
SpaceX and NASA had been planning to launch the Crew-5 flight to the International Space Station on Oct. 3 from Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. But the threat of Ian, which is currently churning north toward Florida as a powerful Category 3 hurricane, has delayed the planned liftoff by at least 24 hours, to Oct. 4. And that schedule is far from set in stone.
A Russian cosmonaut said "war will end everywhere" while handing over command of the space station today to Samantha Cristoforetti, who is now the first European woman in charge of the orbiting lab.
Cristoforetti is the fifth European commander(opens in new tab) of the ISS, following Frank De Winne, Alexander Gerst, Luca Parmitano and Thomas Pesquet, according to the European Space Agency (ESA).
A number of emerging European commercial rocket companies are vying to reach orbit first, with debut launches expected in the second half of 2023. Rocket Factory Augsburg, Skyrora and Isar Aerospace are among the firms aiming for orbit next year.
A cryptocurrency-backed company, called Vast Space, announced plans to pursue artificial gravity space stations to improve "human productivity" in orbit, as the company termed it. Vast Space is founded by Jed McCaleb, a billionaire behind the launch of three large crypto firms, such as bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox.
Dog-shaped robots may be used on future moon missions, as humanity's best friend is an agile explorer already. Leaping, digging and exploring elevated terrain are all things dogs eagerly do on Earth.
