We've got another Artemis-packed issue for you this week!
From breathtaking views of Earth and the moon to the very real (and very human) challenges of living in space.
We take a closer look at the latest update on that infamous space toilet (yes, it's still making the news), hear how seeing Earth from deep space is changing astronauts' perspectives and dive into the stunning photos captured during the mission's historic lunar flyby.
But wait! That's not all.
Elsewhere, a doomed comet meets a catastrophic end near the sun, a black hole "switches off," and we head to a galaxy far, far away for an inside look at the new Maul — Shadow Lord series.

Seeing Earth from space changes your perspective. Astronaut Christina Koch says the vast darkness surrounding our planet made its beauty and fragility stand out more than ever, offering a humbling new perspective from deep space.

Even in deep space, some things are ... very human. The toilet aboard Artemis 2 is actually working as planned, but engineers are now dealing with getting rid of what's inside...

If you've been following along with Artemis 2 then you'll want to see this. The crew has captured some of the most breathtaking images of the moon in more than 50 years. From dramatic "Earthset" views to never-before-seen details of the lunar farside. These images are truly extraordinary.

Black holes are supposed to be unstoppable cosmic gluttons, but what happens when one stops feeding? Astronomers have just watched a distant galaxy effectively starve its supermassive black hole, causing it to lose a staggering 95% of its brightness in just a couple of decades.

It was tipped to be a dazzling Easter show, but Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) had other plans. As it plunged toward the sun, the comet drastically broke apart in a spectacular finale, dashing hopes of a bright naked-eye display.

What makes a Sith Lord tick? The stars of Maul — Shadow Lord are lifting the lid on one of the franchise's most complex villains.

The Artemis 2 crew aren't just making history, they're capturing it too! Fresh from their lunar flyby, they have snapped a breathtaking view of the Milky Way.
