Happy Wednesday, Space Fans, and welcome to your midweek briefing from space. Our top story today is pretty exciting. After all, how often do we get a brand-new space telescope off the assembly line? NASA's next great observatory, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, is now fully assembled, and if you thought Webb and Hubble were impressive, wait 'til you see what's coming in the story above.
And, of course, that's not all. We have some stunning Lyrid meteor shower photos, meet the divers that welcomed Artemis 2 astronauts and see a tantalizing Mars discovery that may have implications for life in the stories below. Check them out!
