Dust Might Reveal the Presence of Habitable Planets
NASA’s next great space telescope should launch no later than 2027. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a powerful wide-field infrared telescope that will create panoramic fields of view 100 times greater than Hubble’s. The Roman Telescope has a variety of scientific objectives, and one of its jobs is to complete a census of exoplanets to answer questions around habitability.
Rocket rollout: How NASA's first Artemis Space Launch System move stacks up against Saturn V
"It was a sight unseen before by mankind." That was how NASA described the first rollout of a Saturn V rocket. "Spaceport News" could reuse that lede for the first Space Launch System booster.
Pete Davidson's spaceflight replacement is Blue Origin's Gary Lai
Blue Origin is going with one of its own as Pete Davidson's spaceflight replacement — Gary Lai, chief architect of New Shepard, the vehicle that will take him to the final frontier on March 29.

Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder Provides the Music for NASA's new SLS Video
Fans of Eddie Vedder, Pearl Jam, and space exploration, this video will require very little explanation. But just in case some people haven’t seen it yet, this musical performance was a tribute to the long-awaited roll-out of the fully-stacked Space Launch System (SLS) at the NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It’s guaranteed to give you goosebumps and maybe even bring a tear to your eye!
SpaceX to launch OneWeb's internet satellites, replacing Russian Soyuz rockets
Russia's invasion of Ukraine made OneWeb's previous launch deal untenable, so the London-based company turned to SpaceX, a competitor in the satellite internet business.
Is “Slow Science” the Answer to Astronomy's Carbon Footprint?
The first quantitative assessment of professional telescopes’ carbon footprint finds that these facilities contribute more emissions than all other astronomy research activities combined.

What if the same spacecraft studied mysterious icy bodies and the cosmos as well?
Staring out into space is a time-tested technique for making long journeys pass more quickly, but not one often applied at the scale of the solar system.
NASA's work to align the James Webb Space Telescope is extending to more instruments
After James Webb Space Telescope officials released a stunning image of a single star, the team is ready to get other telescope parts in line with the observatory's mirrors.
NASA flyby of Jupiter's big moon Ganymede revealed massive unknown craters
Last year's Juno flyby at Jupiter's largest moon Ganymede revealed a surface covered in craters as well as shimmering auroras stretching between the moon's poles and the equator.
Why Would an Alien Civilization Send Out Von Neumann Probes? Lots of Reasons, says a new Study
In 1948-49, mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, and engineer John von Neumann introduced the world to his idea of “Universal Assemblers,” a species of self-replicating robots. Von Neumann’s ideas and notes were later compiled in a book titled “Theory of self-reproducing automata,” published in 1966 (after his death). In time, this theory would have implications for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), with theorists stating that advanced intelligence must have deployed such probes already.
Lunar Rovers Could be Dropped Into Lava Tubes to Explore Their Depths
Technical challenges abound when doing space exploration. Some areas are so remote or isolated that engineers need to build a special purpose-made vehicle to visit them. That is certainly the case for some of the more remote parts of the moon – especially the as-yet unexplored caves on the moon. Now a graduate student at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) seems to have developed just such an access system.
