 | | Created for ceo.studentlike.spuniv@blogger.com | Web Version | | | |  | Happy Monday, Space Fans! We're starting off with a bang this week with the full moon poised to turn a blood red in the only total lunar eclipse of 2026. This is the last blood moon until New Year's Eve 2028-2029, so don't miss it!
And that's not all. We have big changes to NASA's Artemis moon landing plans to share, strange sounds made from Jupiter and Uranus, and a stunning new view of Comet 3I/ATLAS! Check them out below. | | | Space Quiz: Which mission will now land NASA's next astronauts on the moon? | Find the answer HERE! | |  | Artemis 2: NASA's next moonshot | |  | | (NASA) | One of the biggest surprises last week that we're still reeling from is NASA's big shakeup of the Artemis moon landing program. The first big change? Artemis 3, for years the first moon landing mission for astronauts, won't go to the moon at all. | | | Speaking of Artemis 3, SpaceX's Starship was supposed to be the lander of choice on that mission when astroanuts touch down. Now, Artemis 3 will meet a lander in Earth orbit. But will be a SpaceX Starship or something else? | | | | Before we leave the moon entirely, let's go over some times on how to see the Blood Moon lunar eclipse of 2026. Here's our handing guide to what time to look up! | | |  | | (Firefly Aerospace) | In non-Artemis spaceflight news, Firefly Aerospace is trying to get its Alpha rocket off the ground to resume launches after a recent failure. But weather, it seems is not on its side. | | |  | | (NASA/CXC/SAO/K.Arcand, SYSTEM Sounds (M. Russo, A. Santaguida))) | If you thought the "music of the spheres" was ethereal, well you ain't heard nothing yet. New X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory has allowed scientists to create eerie soundscapes of our solar system's largest planets. | | | | SpaceX, meanwhile, had a busy weekend with two more Falcon 9 launches carrying Starlink internet satellites to orbit. Here's how the launches went. | | |  | | (DARPA/Colie Wertiz) | From the files of 'Seriously, what IS this' comes this tale of the X-68A coming to a sky over you soon from the U.S. Air Force. It is what it sounds like: A missile that can carry and fire other missiles. | | |  | | (ESA/Juice/JANUS) | We were all spoiled by amazing views of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS when it passed by Earth last year. But humans weren't the only ones to get a show. Case in point: This newly released view from JUICE, the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer probe currently on its way to Jupiter. | | | On March 2, 2004, the European Space Agency launched the Rosetta mission to study Comet 67P in a bid to land a probe on the icy wanderer. That landing was a bit rough, but the mission overall - a stunning success.
And that will wrap up our Monday morning kickoff to the week in space. Which story was your favorite?
