Happy Tuesday!

We have a full roundup of headlines for your daily read this morning. Astronomers have recently found "fossil galaxies" that have been frozen in for billions of years. These "dinosaurs of the universe" can help experts further understand how these first galaxies formed. 

In other news, the first trailer for "Project Hail Mary" is here and is already making some waves as Ryan Gosling attempts to save the Earth from its dying sun (and meets an alien in the process). More stories for today include NASA's Perseverance digging deeper into Mars' dirt to try to find ancient life forms, a surprising mineral found in the asteroid Ryugu and the "Apollo 13" film turning 30. We've got it all here and more. 

Thanks for exploring with us.

Keep looking up,
