SpaceX is hoping to launch its first Starship test of 2024 as early as Thursday in what it hopes will be a historic orbital flight of the world's biggest rocket, and if you need to know when to watch it online, you're in the right place. Set your clocks for 8 a.m. ET (1200 GMT) on March 14.
A Japanese company's first orbital launch attempt ended in a dramatic failure just seconds after liftoff on Wednesday. The 18-meter-long, four-stage Kairos solid rocket lifted off from Space Port Kii in Kushimoto, western Japan at 10:01 p.m. EDT March 12 (0201 GMT or 11:01 a.m. Japan time on March 13). The flight ended abruptly seconds after it rose off the launch pad when the flight termination system triggered, resulting in the rocket exploding.
Our solar eclipse viewing equipment and techniques may have changed slightly over the years but the amazement and wonder lives on. Here we take a look at some iconic photographs through the ages of people enjoying the beauty and wonder of a solar eclipse.
The public charter jet service JSX has announced it'll be arranging a specialty eclipse flight for winners of an online sweepstakes. Flight 4824, a release put out by the airlines says, will depart on April 8 from a JSX-dedicated hangar at Dallas-Love Field in Texas at 1:00 p.m. CT. The 30-seat jet will ascend 30,000 feet (9,144 meters) and travel within the path of totality — aka, the path along which you can see the moon totally eclipse the sun — then land back at the hangar by 3:00 p.m. CT. Everyone, of course, will get a window seat.
We're less than one month away from the next total solar eclipse and you can save 40% on a five-pack of Kesseph solar glasses, which will arrive in time for the event.

The Orion spacecraft for Artemis 1, which circled the moon with mannequins and science experiments in 2022, just touched down in Ohio for eight months of testing before humans climb on board future versions of the spacecraft, NASA officials stated in a statement on March 6.
This star's gory death can be blamed on a black hole with a mass equal to around one million suns; the event occurred in the active star-birthing galaxy NGC 3799, which is located about 160 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Leo.
