Happy Thursday space fans!
While we unfortunately won't be able to see interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS approaching the sun, there are a few spacecraft that will and we'll have updates for you as the story evolves. 

Other headlines for today include the James Webb Space Telescope peering into the eerie the Red Spider Nebula (just in time for Halloween!), Japan declaring the Venus spacecraft Akatsuki dead and 'Supergirl' turning 10. We have all that and more for your daily read. 

Keep looking up,
