During Artemis I the European Service Module (ESM) surpassed expectations. Now, as we set our sights on Artemis II, the European Service Module is ready to once again serve as Orion’s primary power and propulsion component and keep the spacecraft at the right temperature and on course. And this time, with real astronauts on board.
The foundations of Michigan State University's first astronomy building recently came to light, showing a long history of telescope work in the Wolverine State.
Astronomers have discovered an intense binary star system located about 1,400 light years away. It contains a brown dwarf with 80 times the mass of Jupiter which is bound closely with an incredibly hot white dwarf star. Observations have shown the brown dwarf is tidally locked to the white dwarf, allowing the daytime surface temperatures on the brown dwarf to reach 8,000 Kelvin (7,700 Celsius, 14,000 Fahrenheit) — which is much hotter than the surface of the Sun, which is about 5,700 K (5,427 C, 9,800 F). The brown dwarf’s nightside, on the other hand, is about 6,000 degrees K cooler.
Finding supermassive black holes with masses billions of times greater than the sun under a billion years after the Big Bang has scientists confused how these cosmic titans got so big so quickly.
Scientists have discovered the origin of a rare iron meteorite that fell to Earth in 2020. It's the first iron meteorite from a parent body with a known orbit.

Not only is the devastation being thoroughly documented around the world, but it's also being recorded from space.
Asteroid Day is an annual event observed on June 30th to raise awareness about asteroids, their potential impact hazards, and the importance of asteroid detection and mitigation efforts. The date of June 30th was chosen to commemorate the anniversary of the Tunguska event, a powerful explosion caused by the airburst of a large asteroid or comet over Siberia, Russia, in 1908.

The Curiosity Mars rover recently aced its toughest Red Planet climb yet: a sharp 23-degree slope covered slippery sand and wheel-size rocks.
The Sun dominates the Solar System in almost every way imaginable, yet much of its inner workings have been hidden from humanity. Over the centuries, and especially in the last few decades, technological advancements allowed us to ignore our mothers’ exhortations and stare at the Sun for as long as we want. We’ve learned a lot from all those observations.
