Blue Origin

 Blue Origin has launched 6 more people into suborbital space.

All went well.

Europa

 New analysis of  the so-called chaos region of Europa suggests the oxygen level in the moon's subsurface ocean could possibly be as high as Earth's oceans.

That would increase the chances for life.

JWST

 NASA's JWST will be able to detect methane in the atmospheres of exoplanets.

That could be an indication of life.

Anti-universe

 A new theory suggests there may be an anti-uniwerse existing with our own.

Future experiments may be able to confirm or deny the theory.

JWST

 NASA is planning an announcement next week about a big discovery already made using JWST.

What is it?  For now, that's a secret.

ICBM

 North Korea  tested an ICBM yesterday, its first since 2017.

The ICBM flew over 3000 miles into space before crashing in Japanese waters.

Sulfur

 A new study finds sulfur may have played a bigger role in killing off the dinosaurs than previously thought.

Sulfur thrown into the atmosphere by the asteroid impact could have cut sunlight at the surface for decades or centuries.

Starship

 Elom Musk says Staeship may launch on its first orbital flight in May,

Starship is designed to colonize the Moon and Mars,

Exoplanets

 NASA has now confirmed 5,000 exoplanets.

That's from a very small sampling of stars.

Ganymede

 Study of recent spacecraft images of Jupiter's large moon Ganymede show hitherto unseen huge impact craters.

The images were taken last year.

Hyperrsonic

 Russia claims it has used a hypersonic missile in Ukraine.

Such weapons defeat current missile defense systems.

SLS

 NASA's SLS-- its most powerful rocket to date, is now on the launch pad.

SLS will launch Artemis missions to the Moon.

Planet 9

 Astronomers just completed another search for Planet 9.

They found nothing.

Ingenuity

 JPL has announced Ingenuity will continue flying until September, at least.

The original plan called for five flights.

UFOs

 Some argue the UFOs seen on US Navy video, among other places, are secret Pentagon craft.

If so, now might be a good time to turn them loose.

New Trek

 Yet another Star Trek series is set to debit.

STAR TREK: STRANGE MEW WORLDS will feature the first captain of the USS Enterprise, Christopher Pike.

Mars

 Perseverance has collected a seventh rock sample before heading to an ancient river delta.

The plan is to bring the samples to Earth at some point.

Russia

 Russia is threatening to end cooperation in space with the US.

Currently, one astronaut is on ISS, scheduled to return to Earth in a Soyuz.

Rings

 On this date in 1977,  astronomers discovered the rings of Neptune.

We now know that all four gas giants have rings.

White Dwarf

 Astronomers may have found an Earthlike planet orbiting in the habitable zone of  a white dwarf.

That would be an unexpected first.

Craters

 Scientists have identified a field of 30 craters in southeast Wyoming that were blasted by pieces of debris thrown up in the creation of a huge crater 280 million years ago,

They are still looking for that source impact crater.

China

 China is planning for its next generation launcher to be reusable.

NASA still doesn't have that.

Crash

 A 3-tom piece of rocket crashed on the far side side of the Moon yesterday.

Exactly where it came from is unclear.

Superhabitability

 Some scientists are looking for worlds they think would be even better homes for life than Earth is.

They call the concept "superhabitability."

Apollo 9

 On this date in 1969, Apollo 9 launched on a mission to test fly the lunar module in space.

It was another critical step towards a manned lunar landing.

Ingenuity

 Ingenuity has now successfully completed 20 flights on Mars.

That's four times as many as NASA oeiginally planned.

ExoMars

 ESA's ExoMars probably will not launch on a Russian rocket this year due to European sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

ExoMars is to search for traces of life on Mars.
