    Juice spacecraft takes stunning photos of Earth and moon during flyby (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Europe's Jupiter-bound Juice spacecraft photographed Earth and the moon as it whipped past our home planet on Monday, stealing energy to fly the long trip. During its flyby, the European Space Agency's probe came within 5,370 miles of Earth, jetting over the Indian Ocean. It made its closest approach at 7:45 a.m. ET. One of its monitoring cameras captured Africa, and its navigation camera snapped Madagascar and the moon. Earth's gravity bent the spacecraft's trajectory by 20 degrees and sped it

    SpaceX Starship test: Spaceship reaches orbit before returning early (opens the original)

    UPDATE: Sep. 28, 2026, 11:46 a.m. EDT Starship splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii at about 11 a.m. CT on Monday, Sept. 28, 2026. SpaceX officials have not yet said why controllers decided to bring the ship home early after a successful orbital insertion maneuver, a first for Starship. The test was supposed to last about 10 hours to see the ship complete six full orbits around Earth. Instead, the mission ran just three hours. SpaceX's Starship reached orbit for the first t

    SpaceX's Starship is about to attempt a 10-hour spaceflight: Watch live. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    After more than 40 months of test flights, SpaceX will attempt to put its mammoth Starship into orbit around Earth for the first time and bring it back for a safe landing — 10 hours later. The company, founded by billionaire Elon Musk, plans to launch the rocket from its private pad in Starbase, Texas, as early as 8:15 a.m. ET on Monday, Sept. 28. Prior flights that have reached space have only flown straight up and down, meaning gravity has naturally pulled Starship back toward the ground like

    Perseverance discovers Mars crater was more than just an ancient lake (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A Martian rock formation that looked like an ancient shoreline from space now appears to preserve a much more astonishing water history. Since 2021, NASA's Perseverance rover has explored Jezero crater, a 28-mile-wide basin on Mars where rivers once fed a lake. Scientists had hoped to find sedimentary rocks along the crater's edge — a clue that would support the lakeshore prediction. But, in a twist, the rover discovered these rocks are igneous, meaning their origins are volcanic and not formed

    A new giant moon crater just set a solar system record (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A chunk of asteroid or comet whizzing through space slammed into the moon and left a 728-foot-wide pit, the largest known fresh crater in the solar system. Nobody saw it happen. No alarm sounded. No telescope caught the flash. The rock hit the moon's eastern edge at roughly 33,000 mph, punching a hole 2 1/2 football fields wide into the lunar surface. Then, the moon went on about its business for more than a year. The discovery came from housekeeping. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has phot
