Euclid's first test images were released at the end of July, but important as they were, these visuals barely scratched level 1 of this telescope's abilities. Now, the telescope is ready to get going on its primary mission: Mapping the dark, invisible side of our universe.
Space.com spoke with Parmitano regarding the state of new Italian aerospace firms, impressions on NASA's upcoming Artemis program moon missions, and close associations with the chosen astronauts slated to walk on the moon for the first time since 1972.
Skywatchers worldwide were treated to a magnificent aurora light show over the weekend as northern lights were reported as far south as Greece and Turkey.
The aurora might be the most famous atmospheric phenomenon in our night sky, but it certainly isn't the only one. If you've not yet been introduced, we'd love you to meet STEVE.
The European Space Agency is looking to change the way it approaches space exploration and foster a commercial cargo return capability within five years.
Greedy supermassive black holes blasting out powerful light may be hidden at the heart of star-birthing galaxies. The discovery could help researchers better understand how galaxies grow.
It will be the 11th launch and landing for this rocket's first stage, according to the mission description. The 23 Starlink satellites, meanwhile, are scheduled to deploy from the Falcon 9's upper stage into low Earth orbit just under 65 minutes after liftoff.
Over the course of its mission, the spacecraft -- which orbits Earth at an altitude of around 533 miles (857 kilometers) - will measure the height of water over 90% of Earth's surface every 21 days, documenting changes in global water levels.
