Today (Oct. 2), the moon and sun will create a "ring of fire" during an annular solar eclipse. Here's how and when to catch the spectacular phenomenon.
The sun is an amazing celestial object. It is not only at the heart of our solar system and our local star, but it is fascinating and its appearance changes constantly. When observing the sun, don't look at it with the naked eyes, even through thin or thick clouds. We must emphasize the importance of using the correct solar observation equipment when safely observing the sun without damaging your eyes.
Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is putting on a delightful early-morning display for those fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the spectacle before it's lost in the glare of the rising sun. But it's not just the early birds with good seats to the show: astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) are also enjoying the spectacle.
Two astronauts who were supposed to be in space right now say they are still glad to be part of the ground team. "I think it was hard not to watch that rocket lift off without thinking, 'that's my rocket and that's my crew,'" says NASA's Zena Cardman, the original commander.

Earlier this year, scientists proposed that one of NASA's spacecraft — the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE — may have discovered signals that could indicate the presence of megastructures used to harvest the energy of stars. Yet, not everyone was sold on these detections.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is requiring an investigation of the anomaly a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket experienced during the Crew-9 astronaut launch on Sept. 28. The Falcon 9's upper stage suffered an issue after deploying the capsule, SpaceX revealed on Sept. 29. The issue was an "off-nominal deorbit burn," which resulted in the upper stage landing in the ocean outside of its target disposal area.
The overall design of the moon-landing suit is inspired by traditional Chinese armor, underscoring the suit's rugged and resolute appearance. It also features ribbons, which have always been an important element in the design of Chinese spacesuits.
