Happy Monday, space fans!
I hope you had a fun, restful, or otherwise nice weekend. Did you celebrate International Observe the Moon night on Friday? If you forgot, no worries, every night is a good night to look up and observe the moon. Jumping into this week, a few days ago we saw the results of a partnership between Pokémon (yes, that Pokémon), and the European Space Agency as a tiny plush Pikachu was spotted floating around the International Space Station. Elsewhere in the spaceflight world, we saw China launch four different rockets to orbit within just 45 hours — a serious feat. And in the strange world of science, researchers think that "ghost particles" could be the secret to predicting whether dying stars will go supernova or turn into black holes.
Check out what's big in space below:

And that's it for our space update today!
As usual, there are strange goings on in the worlds of spaceflight and science. From "flavor-changing ghost particles" to "born again stars," there are some bizarre new results you can explore with us. And from China launching an astounding number of different rockets into orbit in a miniscule window of time to Rocket Lab launching a new Earth-observing satellite, there is always something happening in orbit (or on its way to orbit).
Looking into the near future, George Lucas' Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opens to the public this week and we will have an exclusive inside peek behind the scenes to share with you. Whether you love Star Wars or not, you'll want to check this museum out. Coming up, we are looking forward to the next Starship launch at the end of this month and World Space Week in October. It's never a dull moment on the final frontier.
