Astronomers stunned as binary asteroid Didymos-Dimorphos brightens after DART space rock impact
Astronomers watched in awe as binary asteroid Didymos brightened up immediately after the impact of NASA's DART mission on Monday (Sept. 26).
'Quantum Leap' showrunner, tech advisor on recreating space shuttle for 'Atlantis'
It could probably go without saying, but for the record, the space shuttle mission shown on "Quantum Leap" did not happen. The episode "Atlantis" had Ben Song leap into the body of an astronaut.
NASA maps objectives to guide 'moon to Mars' space exploration
NASA is working on a blueprint to guide space exploration and infrastructure for the moon, Mars and to destinations across our solar system.
DART asteroid impact impresses in ESA’s view from the ground
Video: 00:00:00
Last night at 23:14 UTC, NASA's DART spacecraft successfully struck asteroid Dimorphos, the 160-metre moonlet orbiting around the larger Didymos asteroid. About 38 seconds later, the time it took for the light to arrive at Earth, people all over the world saw the abrupt end of the live stream from the spacecraft, signalling that the impact had happened successfully – DART was no more.

New JunoCam 3D renders of Jupiter's cloud tops look like a magical fairyland.
Wow! Telescopes spot DART asteroid impact in deep space (videos)
Telescopes here on Earth captured the DART asteroid probe's spectacular deep-space death.
After DART's incredible asteroid impact, the science is only beginning
DART may have completed its journey, but the work is only just starting for scientists as they set about learning how much the asteroid Dimorphos was deflected by its impact.
See Hurricane Ian churn in video from International Space Station
Cameras aboard the International Space Station are providing a birds-eye view of Hurricane Ian as it churns northward toward Florida.
ESA business boosts small space companies
ESA continues to break down barriers and create more opportunities for small companies to get involved in space. Start-up companies and small enterprises offer agile and bespoke development adding value to Europe’s future space economy.
After DART comes Hera
Video: 00:02:52
The night of 26 September 2022 will make space history - as the moment when NASA's DART spacecraft impacts the Dimorphos asteroid in an attempt to divert its course - humankind's first planetary defence test. Next, in 2024, ESA launches its Hera spacecraft to investigate the post-impact asteroid. In fact, Hera is not one spacecraft but three: it carries with it ESA's first deep-space CubeSats to make extra observations of its target.

The images display the powerful capabilities that both world-leading space telescopes provide, especially when combining their data.
Scientists in Antarctica Have Access to Starlink Now. It’s Available on 7 Continents
SpaceX’s Starlink service is now available in Antarctica, according to a tweet from the National Science Foundation on the morning of September 14, stating, “NSF-supported USAP scientists in #Antarctica are over the moon! Starlink is testing polar service with a newly deployed user terminal at McMurdo Station. Increasing bandwidth and connectivity for service support.” SpaceX replied with a quote tweet saying, “Starlink is now available on all seven continents! In such a remote location like Antarctica, this capability is enabled by Starlink’s space laser network.”
NASA rolls Artemis 1 moon rocket off the launch pad to shelter from Hurricane Ian
Artemis 1 is headed for Kennedy Space Center's huge Vehicle Assembly Building, where it will be safe from Hurricane Ian, should the storm's lash fall on Florida's Atlantic coast.
