Happy Tuesday, space fans!
World Space Week is starting out with a bang, as a coronal mass ejection has erupted, and the particles from this stellar explosion are now headed for Earth and could create some incredible auroras above our planet. And speaking of explosive, researchers using data from the James Webb Space Telescope are investigating what happens when planets collide out in the cosmos. And going from the macroscopic cosmic explosions to the microscopic, the study of neutrinos, or "ghost particles," has now won the Nobel Prize in physics.
Check out what's big in space below:

And that's it for our space update today.
We hope that you are enjoying World Space Week so far. With this morning's news about the Nobel Prize in physics going to researchers exploring the strange world of subatomic "ghost particles," this is quite an exciting week in space. And things could get even more interesting as we see how these stellar explosions affect our atmosphere and whether or not they lead to incredible, colorful shows in the night sky. Fingers crossed for auroras!
If you're not able to see auroras in the night sky, don't worry, there are still a ton of opportunities to enjoy the night sky this week. And, as always, no matter what event is or isn't happening in the night sky, it's always a good idea to look up.
