ARTEMIS 2 MOON
SpaceX launches 15th Starship flight with hopes of achieving first round trip
SpaceX successfully launched its Starship spacecraft on a mission that aimed for both orbit and return. Unfortunately, the lower-stage Super Heavy booster rocket failed to complete its return flight. Starship's upper-stage vessel reached orbit and deployed 26 satellites into space. This launch marks SpaceX's 15th Starship test flight, contributing to their satellite connectivity business. The company hopes to achieve a fully reusable rocket system for future missions.

Forget the Moon’s south pole: 4 other lunar sites could help humans build a base and prepare for Mars, new report suggests
The southernmost region of the Moon has emerged as a crucial focus for contemporary lunar exploration, particularly in the quest for water ice. Other notable sites, such as Bhabha Crater and Orientale Basin, are also under consideration for study. These areas promise to offer vital information about the Moon's past and feasible locations for human settlement.
A satellite map revealed a mysterious giant circle that was hiding in Canada for 390 million years. One amateur astronomer finally noticed it
Researchers have identified the Uhackatik impact crater in Quebec, which is about 25 kilometers wide. The crater was discovered by amateur astronomer Joël Lapointe using satellite imagery while looking for camping spots. Geological confirmation came through the discovery of shatter cones, indicating a historical extraterrestrial collision. This discovery sheds light on Earth's geological history and the difficulty of finding ancient impact structures.
