The last of four consecutive supermoons in 2024 rises this week. November's Full Beaver Moon will rise on Friday (Nov. 15), just in time for those willing to stay up late for some weekend skywatching.

"All NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station are in good health," Dr. J.D. Polk, chief health and medical officer at NASA Headquarters in Washington, told reporters in an emailed statement on Nov. 13. "It's unfortunate that rumors persist otherwise."
Are there any stars that pose a threat to us? To estimate how close a supernova would have to be to cause serious damage to Earth, we must look at a supernova's destructive capabilities.
SpaceX is gearing up for the sixth test flight of its Starship megarocket, which is now less than a week away.

A moon spacecraft is one step closer to flying with humans on board in 2025. The Orion spacecraft, which will carry four astronauts around the moon on the Artemis 2 mission, recently reentered an altitude chamber at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
