Full Story: Space (5/30)  Japan loses contact with Akatsuki probe at Venus (Akihiko Ikeshita/AFP via Getty Images) The Japanese space agency said it has lost contact with its intrepid Venus spacecraft Akatsuki. Akatsuki is Japan's mission dedicated to studying the climate of Venus and currently the only active spacecraft in orbit around the second planet from the sun. The $300 million spacecraft launched in 2010 and had a less than stellar start to its mission, failing to enter orbit around Venus due to a failure of its main engine. However, the mission team managed to contrive a second opportunity in 2015 after five years of orbiting the sun, successfully entering orbit. Full Story: Space (5/30)  Space Quiz!

The furthest galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0, is seen as it was around 300 million years after the Big Bang, existing at least 100 million years earlier than the previous record holder. That means that the light the JWST saw from this primordial galaxy has been traveling for 13.5 billion years on its way to reach us.
