NASA's Juno spacecraft flew close to Jupiter on Jan. 12, capturing a stunning new view of the planet and two of its moons, lo and Europa. NASA unveiled the view on March 16.
After James Webb Space Telescope officials released a stunning image of a single star, the team is ready to get other telescope parts in line with the observatory's mirrors.
The startup has raised $650,000 in seed money and aims to launch a lunar satellite by 2024. Aquarian Space announced the funding from Draper Associates March 17 as a step toward bringing high-speed internet between the Earth, the moon and Mars in future years
Jeff Bezos' spaceflight company has tapped Gary Lai as the sixth crewmember on its upcoming NS-20 suborbital mission, which is scheduled to lift off from West Texas on March 29. That slot had been reserved for Pete Davidson, but the "Saturday Night Live" star backed out due to a launch delay.
Russia's space agency Roscosmos has dismissed reports that three of its cosmonauts wore yellow and blue flight suits on the International Space Station in support of Ukraine. "Sometimes yellow is just yellow," Roscosmos wrote Saturday.
After Juno passed within 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) of Jupiter's largest moon Ganymede in June 2021, scientists are still decoding what the encounter can teach us about the strange world.

Scientists think massive structures like this may be the source of the mysterious antimatter found on Earth. PSR J2030+4415's 40-trillion-mile-long beam could explain why scientists see certain strange particles on Earth.
The identity of three, possibly four, stars has been brought into question, as researchers re-evaluate the objects' size, revealing they are far too big to be exoplanets.
OneWeb has found a new ride for its internet satellites. The companay has launched 428 broadband spacecraft to date, all of them using Russian-built Soyuz rockets operated by the French company Arianespace. But Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine made that situation untenable. And so, SpaceX has stepped in.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket flew for an unprecedented 12th time early Saturday and came back down to Earth for yet another successful touchdown. The two-stage Falcon 9 lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 12:42 a.m. EDT (0442 GMT) on Saturday, carrying 53 of SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites toward low Earth orbit.
SpaceX made history in May 2020 when it launched its two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station on a private rocket and spacecraft. That feat is now the focus of a new Netflix documentary and you can see the first trailer here.
Buying a telescope can be a bewildering decision at the best of times and opting for a motorized telescope can confuse things even further. With so many different options to consider choosing the right one can become somewhat of a lottery, especially for the beginner.
