Scientists have figured out why Pluto's moon Charon wears a red cap. New laboratory work shows that the color results when ultraviolet light and the solar wind interact with hydrocarbons and turn them into a soup of organic compounds dubbed tholins.
A fireball erupted at the base of Booster 7 - a prototype of Super Heavy, the huge first stage for SpaceX's next-gen Starship deep-space transportation system - during a test Monday (July 11) at the company's Starbase facility in South Texas.
A Rocket Lab Electron booster carrying the NROL-162 satellite for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) will launch early Wednesday morning (July 13), and you can watch the action live.
ASTHROS is not a space telescope or a ground-based telescope but something in between, hovering in the stratosphere. By flying on a high-altitude balloon, ASTHROS will be able to see things space telescopes cannot.
