SpaceX is poised to launch its latest Starship megarocket today, on a test flight that will also attempt to catch the world's largest rocket booster with giant metal chopsticks. If you want to watch it live, we've got details on when and how to see it.
Blue Ghost had its eyes wide open during its epic moon landing last weekend. On Sunday the lunar lander became just the second private spacecraft ever to soft-land on the moon, coming to rest in the near side's Mare Crisium ("Sea of Crises") region. We can now relive Blue Ghost's historic descent, thanks to stunning footage captured by the lander.
Astrophotographer Josh Dury took the photo you see above on Feb. 28, when seven planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - lined up on the same side of the sun. Dury photographed this rare cosmic event from the Mendip Hills, Somerset, U.K. The next time this s type of cosmic alignment should appear is the year 2040.
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are getting ready to wrap up their surprisingly long - and unexpectedly controversial - orbital stay. Wilmore and Williams have been in the news a lot over the past few months, for their spaceflight saga has become a political issue. President Donald Trump and SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk have repeatedly claimed that the Starliner duo were "stranded" in space, and that former President Joe Biden left them up there longer than necessary "for political reasons."
Every second, phenomena known as "auroral electrojets" push about a million amps of electrical charge around Earth's poles -- and that electrical charge can create big problems. Now, NASA has a plan to study these powerfully disruptive currents, with hopes of managing their potential effects. In March, the EZIE (Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer) mission will launch three suitcase-sized satellites, called cubesats, aimed at tracking the troubling phenomena.
Alternative rockers Andy Frasco and the U.N. were a force to be reckoned with on the stage of Irving Plaza on Friday night (Feb. 28), energetically blasting through a set of original songs to a packed crowd. The multi-faceted band's new tune "Try Not to Die" played a few songs into the set, poetically employing Carl Sagan's famous quote about Voyager 1's "Pale Blue Dot" portrait of Earth as a tiny speck in space and with Frasco's thoughts on the stagnation of humankind.
