The Moon’s got a big new crater! 🕳️
Spotted by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the McGetchin crater formed when a rock as big as a six-story building crashed into the Moon. It’s 141 feet deep and wider than the length of two football fields.🪨💥🌕

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.
Unwinding with a new Sherlock Holmes mystery...spooky!

I used my 17” telescope in dark Texas skies to capture this: A star much like ours as it dies.
You can see the core of the star left behind in the center of the expanding shell.
Any planets that were around this star have been destroyed.

Mission VA268: Ariane 6 has reached the launch pad.
At Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, the central core of Ariane 6 for mission VA268 has been transferred from the Launcher Integration Building (BAL) to the launch pad.
Once in front of the mobile gantry, the stage was raised to a vertical position, a key milestone in the launcher assembly process.
This operation initiates the final assembly phase on the pad, where Ariane 64, the most powerful version of Ariane 6, will progressively come together.
Scheduled for April 28, 2026, mission VA268 will place 32 @Amazonleo satellites into low Earth orbit, demonstrating once again Ariane 6’s capability to support large-scale constellation deployments.
The campaign is underway.
