he team behind NASA's James Webb Space Telescope released some of the first images from the much-anticipated observatory on Friday (Feb. 11). The main photo, which doesn't even hint at the power Webb will bring to the universe once it's fully operational, shows a star called HD 84406.
In a new study, researchers using NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) space observatory were able to spot the highest-energy light ever seen on Jupiter.
Starship prototypes have taken just a handful of low-altitude hops off Earth's surface to date, but the vehicle is on target to earn its orbital wings in the relatively near future, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk said. "I feel, at this point, highly confident that we'll get to orbit this year," Musk said Thursday.

NASA has raised concerns about SpaceX's new Starlink satellites, including an increase of the risk of collision in orbit, in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Astra failed to deliver four satellites to orbit on Thursday in the company's first-ever orbital launch from the contiguous United States. Something went wrong 3 minutes into the flight.
An Arianespace Soyuz rocket launched 34 new broadband satellites for the OneWeb constellation to space on Feb. 10. It was Arianespace's first mission of 2022.
The James Webb Space Telescope suffers from astigmatism, but that visual condition is a very good thing for astronomy, NASA assures us. A new explainer video the agency posted on YouTube talks about the huge telescope's optics and how they will let astronomers peer deep into the universe.
