Happy Monday space fans!
Our newsroom is busy covering all things space science and news, including the 30th anniversary of the first exoplanet being discovered (how time flies!). 

Other headlines for today include NASA's Juno Probe going silent due to its mission ending the same day as the government shutdown (so what's happening? TBD), DARPA's new field guide at creating a moon economy and the "This Week in Space" podcast breaking down the government shutdown. We have all that and more for your daily read. 

Keep looking up,
