Watch Rocket Lab launch 7 satellites, return booster to Earth today
Rocket Lab plans to launch seven satellites to orbit today (July 14) on a mission that will also feature a booster recovery, and you can watch the action live.
India launches historic Chandrayaan-3 moon-landing mission
India's Chandrayaan-3 mission launched today (July 14), kicking off the nation's second attempt to land a spacecraft on the moon.
This Week's Sky at a Glance, July 14 – 23
Venus, Mercury, and Mars, very unequal, gather low in the western twilight with the crescent Moon stepping over them and Regulus in their midst. And do you know which way the Kite of Boötes bends?
The sound of Aeolus will blow you away
After almost five years, ESA’s Aeolus wind satellite has completed its mission. Now, you can listen to the Life of Aeolus – an incredible wind orchestral piece that has been composed using data spanning Aeolus’ entire life in orbit around Earth.

ESA moves ahead with In-Orbit Servicing missions
Isn’t it strange that when satellites run out of fuel or a single component breaks down, we just discard them? ESA and European industry have joined forces to make sure that our satellites can live on.
India tries for successful Moon mission with second lander launch
For the third time in its space program, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will launch a mission to the Moon. India is hoping for a more successful outcome this time around after a failed attempt to land safely on the Moon back in 2019.
SpaceX aborts Falcon 9 rocket's record-tying 16th launch attempt
SpaceX aborted the planned 16th launch of a Falcon 9 rocket early Friday (July 14) with 40 seconds left in the countdown.
Volcanic Hotspot Found on the Moon
A recent study published in Nature examines a volcanic hotspot that potentially exists beneath a feature on the Moon’s farside (the side facing away from the Earth) called the Compton-Belkovich Thorium Anomaly. Researchers led by the Planetary Science Institute collected data from the hotspot region using microwave instruments onboard the China National Space Administration’s Chang’e-1 and Chang’e-2 orbiters and holds the potential to help scientists better understand the past volcanic processes on our nearest celestial neighbor, as surface evidence indicates lunar volcanic activity ceased between 3 to 4 billion years ago.
Live coverage: SpaceX to launch another booster on 16th mission
For the second time this week, SpaceX will push the envelope by flying a Falcon 9 rocket for a 16th time. The rocket is scheduled to liftoff from Cape Canaveral’s pad 40 at 12:40 a.m. EDT (0440 UTC) carrying more Starlink satellites into orbit. On Sunday night another booster lifted off from the same launch pad becoming the first Falcon 9 rocket to make a 16th flight.
The Final Flight of Ariane 5 Means That Europe is Out of Rockets
The Ariane 5 rocket, developed by Arianespace for the European Space Agency (ESA), has had a good run! The rocket series made its debut in 1996 and has been the workhorse of the ESA for decades, performing a total of 117 launches from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. The many payloads it has sent to space include resupply missions to the International Space Station (ISS), the BepiColombo probe, the comet-chasing Rosetta spacecraft, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE), and countless communication and science satellites.
NASA doubles its spacesuit options for Artemis astronauts the moon, ISS crews
NASA has tasked Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace to back each other up as each develops new spacesuit designs for spacewalking and the lunar surface.
ULA outlines path to inaugural Vulcan launch following upper stage issues

The debut of United Launch Alliance’s next generation rocket, the Vulcan Centaur, is now scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023, following an investigation into a mishap that destroyed an upper-stage test article, company CEO and President Tory Bruno said during a media briefing on Thursday.
What Happens inside a Black Hole?
Inside a black hole, our current understanding of physics breaks down, and the exact workings are still a subject of intense scientific study and theoretical exploration. However, based on the principles of general relativity and our understanding of the behavior of black holes, here are some hypotheses about what might occur:
How Old is That Star? Ask a Computer
When measuring distances in the Universe, astronomers rely on what is known as the “Distance Ladder” – a succession of methods by which distances are measured to objects that are increasingly far from us. But what about age? Knowing with precision how old stars, star clusters, and galaxies are is also paramount to determining how the cosmos has evolved. Thanks to a new machine learning technique developed by researchers from Keele University, astronomers may have established the first rung on a “cosmic age ladder.”
Hubble telescope captures the making of a 'cosmic monster' (photo)
The Hubble Space Telescope captured massive galaxy clusters in the process of merging to form one big 'cosmic monster' eight billion light-years from Earth.
How China will land astronauts on the moon by 2030
China has revealed a few details of its two-launch plan to put boots on the moon by 2030.
ULA delays Vulcan rocket's debut to late 2023 after fireball during test
The Vulcan Centaur is now scheduled to debut in late 2023, provided the rest of its development goes according to plan.
What are El Niño and La Niña and how do they affect Earth's weather?
El Niño and La Niña significantly impact Earth's weather patterns. We explore the events in more detail here and take a look at how they impact Earth's weather.
