Auroras are one of the most dazzling shows in the night sky, but to see them, you have to be in the right place at the right time. Our aurora forecast live blog tells you everything you need to know about upcoming geomagnetic activity and the likelihood of seeing the northern lights depending on your location. We will also keep you informed of any significant space weather events such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and coronal holes which could bring strong aurora-sparking solar winds our way.
Blue Origin's ninth crewed spaceflight will lift off this week, if all goes according to plan. Jeff Bezos' aerospace company announced today (Nov. 18) that it's targeting Friday (Nov. 22) for the launch of NS-28, which will send "Space Gal" Emily Calandrelli and five other people to suborbital space. Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket-capsule combo will lift off from the company's West Texas spaceport on Friday during a window that opens at 10:30 a.m. EST (1530 GMT; 9:30 a.m. local Texas time). You can watch the action live here at Space.com courtesy of Blue Origin, or directly via the company; the webcast will begin 30 minutes before liftoff.
A brand new study based on Hubble Space Telescope observations has thrown weight behind our galaxy's reputation as a bully, showing that the size of the LMC's halo is around ten times smaller than halos of other galaxies that have the LMC's mass, which hints at a past incident with the Milky Way in which our galaxy stripped the LMC of some of its material. Researchers used observations of the LMC from Hubble's ultraviolet vision.
ABL Space Systems is dropping plans to compete in the launch market and is switching its focus to missile programs for U.S. national defense. ABL, founded in 2017, had attempted to reach orbit with its RS1 rocket, but suffered setbacks when the first attempt saw the rocket fall back to the launch pad and explode on Alaska's Kodiak island in January 2023. The second RS1 was also destroyed during preflight testing in July this year. Now, the company is dropping out of the launch market and turning its attention to missile defense, ABL's co-founder and president Dan Piemont wrote in a social media post on Nov. 14.
