| |    | | (Joe Raedle/Getty Images) | Happy Thursday, Space Fans! If you're feeling a bit of déjà vu today, don't worry. That's because NASA is back at it with a critical Artemis 2 moon rocket fueling test, the second this month. That's actually our top story today as we track the planned 12-hour test. Keep your fingers crossed for no leaks this time!
But that's not all we have for you today. We also have top lenses for your space photos, a strange "jellyfish" find from the Webb Space Telescope and SpaceX is going to the Bahamas! (For rocket landings, that is.) See it all below and keep looking up!

But what if you're not satisfied with the basic one? Well, we've got thoughts here. | | |  | | (Starry Night) | Speaking about the night sky, there's some great things to see in tonight's sky. Look up to see Saturn near a stunning crescent moon. And just after sunset, Mercury crashes the party. Here's which direction to look. | | |  | | (NASA/ESA) | We did promise you a space jellyfish at the top, and the James Webb Space Telescope delivered in spades. What you're looking at is COSMOS2020-635829, which Webb revealed in the best look yet at a jellyfish-class galaxy. (Yes, it's actually a real thing. I was surprised, too!) | | |  | | (Stefanie Waldek, used with permission) | There may be "jellyfish" in space, but near the real beaches of The Bahamas, SpaceX rockets will start landing anew. You can watch SpaceX launch a Falcon 9 and land it in The Bahamas, but not everyone there is thrilled. Because, you know, space debris. | | |  | | (Briarcliff Entertainment) | This new time travel movie feels like '12 Monkeys' meets 'Shaun of the Dead' and a whole lot of AI dread. It sounds awesome, right? | | |  | | (NASA, Chris Williams, annotations by Anthony Wood in Canva) | This week, people all over the world celebrated start of the Lunar New Year. And a few people offworld, too. This photo, taken by NASA astronaut Chris Williams on the International Space Station shows Beijing and other major cities in China from space. "Happy Year of the Horse," he wrote. | |  | | (Heritage Images/Getty Images) | On Feb. 19. 2986, one of the icons of the Space Age launched into orbit: Russia's Space Station Mir. Here's how it happened.
And that's a wrap for today so far, but we'll be back tomorrow with the results of NASA's Artemis 2 fueling test, so stay tuned! | | | | Stay up-to-date on all things space science, news, and entertainment by subscribing to our newsletters. | |  | | | | | | | Future US LLC © | | Full 7th Floor, 130 West 42nd Street, New York, NY, 10036 | | | |
