We're just about to the end of the week, but the excitement is just beginning for us.
Tonight, a 96% partial lunar eclipse will turn the moon a deep shed of red for almost one billion people worldwide. It will be the most impressive lunar eclipse until New Year's Eve 2028, so make sure you catch it if you can! In spaceflight news, the European Space Agency is launching a new weather satellite from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana today, and you can watch it live here at Space. Meanwhile, we're still counting down to Sunday's planned launch of NASA's next-generation observatory, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. We're hoping the weather holds! Follow along with our live updates to stay up-to-the-minute on the launch.
We've got all that and more for you today right here at Space.

Hot on the heels of this month's stunning total solar eclipse, we've got a partial lunar eclipse tonight that promises to look gorgeous. If you live in a part of the world where it will be visible, this one could be worth staying up for. If you watch it and catch a good photo of it, be sure to send it to us and we just might feature it in one of our photo stories. Looking ahead, we'll be watching a ceremony live from Johnson Space Center tomorrow where President Trump will be awarding the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to the Artemis II crew during a ceremony at 11 a.m. EDT. Watch it live here at Space. To get all this news and more, be sure to download our new app, available now on iOS and Android. Ad astra,
