A space telescope that has spent 22 years detecting the most powerful explosions in the universe is now falling toward Earth, and a startup in Arizona built its rescue craft in seven months flat — a schedule Science described as almost unheard of for a NASA mission Science

Stop googling ‘best commercial space ETF’ — moomoo already grouped the basketLook, the commercial space trade is annoying because there’s no clean ETF that’s actually SpaceX. ARKX, UFO, SPCX all have different overlap and different garbage. So when I saw moomoo built a SpaceX Ecosystem theme with the actual ecosystem names — STMicro for the chips, Qualcomm for the modems, Globalstar for the sat backhaul, Planet Labs for the imagery, T-Mobile for the direct-to-cell deal — I just sat there for a s… Science

For 85 years after its discovery, Pluto was little more than a dot in a telescope — until 2015, when a piano-sized NASA spacecraft that had traveled more than three billion miles flew past and revealed a world with a 1,000-kilometer heart-shaped glacier of frozen nitrogen and a surface so young it should not exist.

In December 2024 a NASA spacecraft flew straight into the Sun’s outer atmosphere at 430,000 miles per hour, the fastest any human-made object has ever moved, through a region millions of degrees hot — and survived because a 4.5-inch carbon shield kept everything behind it at roughly room temperature.
