SpaceX's 2nd Starship test flight exploded 8 minutes after liftoff, but Elon Musk says it could have been very different.

"Ironically, if it had had a payload, it would have reached orbit," Musk said during a recent SpaceX all-hands presentation at the company's Starbase facility in Texas. Here's what he said about Starship's upcoming third test flight.

The ravenous black hole that existed just 400 million years after the Big Bang could help explain how supermassive black holes grew so rapidly, scientists say. It's around 6 million times as massive as the sun and seems to be feeding on matter from its surrounding galaxy five times more rapidly than the limit suggested is sustainable by current theories.

Astrobotic's private Peregrine moon lander will burn up in Earth's atmosphere on Thursday, Jan. 18, with human remains and other payloads aboard, but exactly where we do not yet know. The company says it's aiming for a "safe" reentry and burn up, but the exact timing is in flux.

Hubble Telescope reveals spies bright supernova's home
(ESA/Hubble & NASA, A. Filippenko)
The long-serving space telescope observed the supernova in a galaxy 150 million light-years away which released 2.5 billion times more energy than the sun. The space telescope, which has been observing the universe in infrared since 1990, has been studying this galaxy since 2010, with scientists using this investigation to learn more about a supernova that occurred in this galaxy over 150 million years ago.

Will we ever be able to communicate with aliens?
(Pixabay)
Biologists, anthropologists, linguists and other experts specializing in language and communication have begun to explore what non-human, off-Earth language might look like. It's called xenolinguistics: The science of extraterrestrial language. And it means more than learning how to say Qapla' in Klingon or E.T. phone home.

'Star Trek' on Mars? NASA rover spots Starfleet insignia
(NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Did someone leave a communicator badge lying on Mars?

NASA's long-running Curiosity rover mission just spotted a familiar shape to "Star Trek" fans: The iconic delta-shaped emblem that Starfleet officers typically wear on their uniforms. Unfortunately, it would be highly illogical to say that a Starfleet landing party walked near Curiosity's roving grounds. Here's where NASA found it.
