Kenna is also a freelance science journalist. Her beats include quantum technology, AI, animal intelligence, corvids, and cephalopods. High atop the arid plateaus of Chile's Atacama Desert, one of humanity's most powerful astronomical instruments peers into the depths of the cosmos: the Very Large Telescope (VLT). Operated by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the VLT has long been at the forefront of astronomical discovery, as scientists use its cutting-edge technology to explore distant galaxies, and some, like our own Milky Way, that are closer to home. Three of the VLT's massive domes were recently treated to this view of the Milky Way. Above the observatory, a soft green and red glow, known as airglow, helps to tinge the horizon. Airglow…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago (193+ words) This image shows Euclid's capability to explore both our cosmic neighborhood and the deep universe beyond. A vast, star-forming cloud in the constellation Orion has been unveiled in stunning detail by the European Space Agency's Euclid Space Telescope, offering a rare look at the turbulent birthplace of young stars hidden behind curtains of cosmic dust. The new image captures a swath of the dark nebula LDN 1641, where dense pockets of interstellar gas are actively collapsing to form new suns. Euclid's primary task is bold and cosmological in scope: create the most extensive 3D map of the universe ever made, tracing billions of galaxies to uncover the influence of dark matter and dark energy, unseen forces shaping cosmic evolution. But along the way, the spacecraft is also returning exquisite views of objects much closer to home. This dark nebula is located in…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago (372+ words) These spacecraft come in all shapes and sizes, from all over the world. SpaceX's Transporter-15 mission is poised to deliver more than 100 spacecraft to Earth orbit. A Falcon 9 rocket will launch Transporter-15 today (Nov. 20) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Liftoff is expected from Vandenberg's Space Launch Complex-4E during a 57-minute window that opens at 1:18 p.m. EST (1818 GMT). Transporter-15 will deliver more than 100 satellites into a sun-synchronous orbit, where each will begin its own, individualized mission. A livestream of the launch will be available on the SpaceX Transporter-15 mission website, the company's profile on X, as well as on Space.com beginning about 15 minutes prior to liftoff. The mission continues SpaceX's increasing frequency of rideshare launches, and follows on the heels of the late-summer liftoff of the Transporter-14 flight, which delivered dozens of cubesats, tech demos and research craft into…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago (160+ words) The Orion crew module gets stacked onto the Space Launch System in preparation for the upcoming Artemis 2 mission in early 2026. NASA has reached one of its key steps on the road to returning humans to the moon, as NASA's Exploration Ground Systems team successfully lifted and integrated the Orion spacecraft atop the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The operation marks a major step toward the Artemis 2 mission, which is set to send astronauts around the moon in early 2026. This image was taken at High Bay 3 of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Artemis 2 is a foundational step toward establishing a sustained human presence on and around the moon. Its success will support future construction of the Gateway lunar orbiting platform, development of lunar surface infrastructure and preparation for eventual crewed missions to Mars, according…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago (214+ words) The big reveal will come Wednesday (Nov. 19) at 3 p.m. ET. NASA will reveal new imagery of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on Wednesday (Nov. 19), and you can watch it live. You can watch the event live here at Space.com, courtesy of NASA, or directly via the agency. The briefing participants are: Comet 3I/ATLAS was discovered on July 1 of this year by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) observatory, which is funded by NASA. It's the third interstellar comet ever discovered in our solar system, after 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, which were spotted in October 2017 and August 2019, respectively. On Oct. 29, 3I/ATLAS made its closest approach to the sun, a milestone known as perihelion; it came within about 130 million miles (210 million kilometers) of our star. The new imagery may highlight increased cometary activity caused by this solar passage, though NASA's brief release doesn't…...
