Two scientists. One unforgettable view of our planet.
What's it like to see the Artemis II Earthrise image through the eyes of a lunar scientist? How about an oceanographer? Jacob Richardson & Ivona Cetinic are here to tell us.

We are insanely close to a deal that would bring us closer to making a preliminary deal that, if all goes well, could lead to another deal being made that could produce a final deal to end whatever thing we're currently worried about.

There are moments where our planet shows us how small we are.
This is one of those moments.
Extremely high-resolution view of mesovortices inside the 895 MBAR Stadium Effect of Super Typhoon Champi right now, as the air rushing into this 35 mile-wide vacuum accelerates the serrated, 50,000 ft high thunderstorms in the eyewall to sustained wind speeds of 185 MPH with gusts up to 225 MPH.

This might be the pinnacle moment of the strongest El NiΓ±o in history.
Pacific Super Typhoon Champi is unbelievable by every metric. A buoy just measured a ~909 MBAR pressure at the edge of her 40+ mile-wide eye, which has now reached a blistering dryness of -10.94 C. Her eyewall is a 180+ MPH (290+ kph) buzzsaw of cyclonic violence, and her CDO is a perfect Saturnian ring of icy, -110 F (-80 C) convective thunderstorms.
And she is still. Getting. Stronger.

During an earnings call, SpaceX founder Elon Musk says during Starship Flight 15, which he says is "expected to happen next month," will include an attempt to catch both the booster and ship.
"Success is not guaranteed on these first flights, but I'd say it's more likely than not that this succeeds next flight. If not, we have a steady stream of Starship flight attempts through the end of this year and then accelerating next year."
Musk goes on to say that Starship is expected to fly "weekly at some point in the first half of next year and then second half of next year, twice weekly or maybe even more frequently than that by the end of next year."

I used a 14β telescope in my homemade observatory to capture Saturn and Tethys, one of its moons.
You can see spokes on the rings, my first time capturing them so vividly!

Liftoff of JAXAβs Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) at 4:41 am JST (3:41 pm ET / 1941 UTC). Separation of the spacecraft is expected about an hour and 11 minutes after liftoff.

Teams in Japan polled 'go' to proceed with the countdown to launch the H3 rocket. Onboard is the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) spacecraft, designed to capture and return a sample from the Martian moon, Phobos.

Photographer Brendan Larsen left his camera recording the night sky over Mt Taranaki, New Zealand, for nearly two hours, capturing 578 photographs.
The result? An estimated 14,450 satellite trail appearances, representing approximately 1,400 individual satellites.

The fact that Tesla was able to keep the development of the Roadster a secret for so long is pretty impressive.
