I made an animation of Starship on it's maiden flight!

Congratulations starship on your first launch!!!

-yes starship did blow up spectacularly during stage separation, but technically the goal of the launch was simply to get the rocket off it’s pad. So everything else was “icing on the cake”(SpaceX)! Awsome launch and I cannot wait for future testing!

Will NASAs first human mission to Mars have the same wow factor that the Apollo missions did?

I'd honestly be a little puzzled if it didn't since it's the next step in space exploration.

The properties of a new NASA developed high temperature alloy were just published in the scientific journal Nature. The new alloy is capable of surviving extreme temperatures 1000 times longer than other alloys.

GUM-15

Gum 15 is a nebula located in the constellation Vela, about 3,000 light-years from Earth[1][2][3][4][5]. It is shaped by aggressive winds flowing from the stars within and around it, and it is a region of active star formation[1][3][4][5]. The bright star in the center of the nebula is HD 74804, a double star[1]. Gum 15 is a stunning glowing cloud that is part of a much larger cold gas complex[3]. https://www.perplexity.ai/?s=m&uuid=ba4fe3f2-b71d-4fb1-820a-49e9b5cb14bc

Went to the Space Symposium and got to see Zohar and Helga, the mannequins used to test radiation exposure on Artemis 1.

Sh2-129 and OU4

Sh2-129 and OU4 are two nebulae in space that are often imaged and studied by astronomers and astrophotographers. Sh2-129 is also known as the Flying Bat Nebula and emits H-alpha light, while OU4, also known as the Giant Squid Nebula, emits OIII light. OU4 was discovered in 2011 by French astroimager Nicolas Outters and is thought to be a bi-polar planetary nebula. Sh2-129 is a relatively faint emission nebula in Cepheus, a neighbor of the larger and more often imaged IC 1396. The two nebulae are often imaged together, with the red Ha signal of Sh2-129 and the blue OIII signal of OU4 creating a striking contrast in images. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/01176956-0f43-4227-be8c-7ad06bed75ec?s=c
