Boeing is now targeting June 1 for the first crewed launch of its Starliner capsule, though that date is far from set in stone. The flight date for the mission, called Crew Flight Test (CFT), has been in considerable flux recently. It had been scheduled to lift off on May 6 atop a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, but that try was called off about two hours before launch due to a misbehaving valve in the rocket's upper stage.
The full moon of May 2024 rides the Scorpion's back across the night sky tonight. The Full Flower Moon will be in the Scorpius constellation tonight (May 23), rising in the southeast just after sunset. Because full moons occur when the sun and the moon are completely opposite one another in the sky, the moon will rise at sunset and set with the sunrise the following morning.
If you're new to astronomy, getting the Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ telescope for under $200 could be ideal for you. It's well-suited for beginners and this price point is cheaper than a lot of the best telescopes.

An amateur astronomer from Italy has discovered five new dwarf galaxies around a distant spiral galaxy - a spiral that's one of the largest galaxies in the sky over Earth. His name is Giuseppe Donatiello, and those five dwarf galaxies are now named Donatiello V, Donatiello VI, Donatiello VII, Donatiello VIII, and Donatiello IX (Do V, Do VI, Do VII, Do VIII, and Do IX).
A new report by NASA outlines the most promising approaches to keeping the space around Earth safe and usable for future generations and finds that the solution could be more cost-effective than previously thought.

new images are part of the telescope's Early Release Observations and show that not only is Euclid up to that task, but it may very well be able to perform beyond scientists' original expectations.
SpaceX launced a pioneering set of spy satellites for the U.S. government early on Wednesday morning (May 22). A Falcon 9 rocket carried the NROL-146 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to space after liftoff from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base at 4 a.m. EDT (0800 GMT; 1 a.m. local California time).

Researchers recently set a neural network to work on spectroscopic data of galaxies taken more than a decade ago - and discovered more than a hundred new galaxies with neutral carbon absorbers.
An excellent choice for astrophotographers and astronomers at any stage of their skill and experience, this smart telescope is well-designed, solidly built and easy to use.
