SIGN UP ⋅   WEBSITE   The Launchpad ULA's new Vulcan Centaur rocket launches on 2nd test flight (United Launch Alliance) United Launch Alliance's (ULA) powerful new Vulcan Centaur rocket is two for two. Vulcan Centaur, the successor to ULA's workhorse Atlas V, launched today (Oct. 4) at 7:25 a.m. EDT (1125 GMT) after a series of holds from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, kicking off a key test flight called Cert-2. ULA declared the flight a success, apparently keeping the new rocket on track to be certified for use on national security missions -- a box that could be checked in the coming weeks, after ULA and the U.S. Space Force have had a chance to review data from the flight.

Earlier, the fish had been observed doing strange things due to microgravity, such as unusual directional behavior and inverted swimming.

The secret: Find a card with a "0% intro APR" period for balance transfers. Then, transfer your debt balance and pay it down as much as possible during the intro period. No interest means you could pay off the debt faster. Find out more ADVERTISEMENT Skywatching Aurora alert!

Full Story: Space (10/3)  Spaceflight BepiColombo unraveling the Mercury's magnetic mystery (Robert Lea (created with Canva)/NASA) The BepiColombo spacecraft may have only made rapid flybys of Mercury, but it is already helping to unravel mysteries surrounding the closest planet to the sun. In 2026, a European Space Agency (ESA)/Japan Aerospace Agency (JAXA) joint mission will fall into orbit around Mercury, the solar system's smallest planet. However, to do that, the spacecraft first needs to make several flybys of Mercury, Venus and Earth. Fortunately, these flybys are proving invaluable to science.

Windhorst (Arizona State University), S. Cohen (Arizona State University), J. D'Silva (University of Western Australia, Perth), A. Koekemoer (Space Telescope Science Institute), J. Summers (Arizona State University)) Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have captured a stunning image of a distant supernova in a galaxy that looks like it's being stretched like warm taffy. However, the golden smear hiding this gravitationally lensed supernova, which has been nicknamed "supernova Hope," isn't just remarkable for its aesthetic value. The supernova, which exploded when the 13.8-billion-year-old universe was just around 3.5 billion years old, tells us something about a huge problem in cosmology called the "Hubble tension."

A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket is scheduled to lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida on Thursday at 12:31 p.m. EDT (1631 GMT), kicking off the $5 billion Europa Clipper mission, which will assess the habitability of Jupiter's ocean moon Europa.

So, some researchers are suggesting a solution: Maybe chemicals produced during satellite reentries should be incorporated in the 1987 Montreal Protocol which bans certain substances that can harm our planet's protective ozone layer.

(Jamie Carter) On Wednesday, a lucky handful of skywatchers watched as the sun transformed into a stunning "ring of fire" in the sky over the remote Easter Island in the Pacific ocean and parts of South America. The result: A spectacular celestial event that won't happen there again for centuries.

"These events can either be a catastrophe or the best thing that has happened to our planet, depending on what point of view you are taking," Arwen Nicholson, a planetary scientist at the University of Exeter in the U.K. and co-author of the paper, told Space.com.
