NASA’s Moon-Flash Project Turns Amateur Telescopes Into Artemis Science Tools

NASA says volunteers recorded lunar impact flash candidates while Artemis II astronauts observed the Moon from space.
Scientists use the location and brightness of flashes from different instruments to better understand impactors and crater formation.
The project could later help connect visible impacts with seismic measurements and moonquake research.

Hubble Marks 36 Years in Orbit With a Close-Up of the Trifid Nebula’s Active Star-Forming Edge

NASA released a close-up Hubble image of the Trifid Nebula for the telescope’s 36th anniversary.
The pictured region lies about 5,000 light-years from Earth.
NASA says massive stars have shaped the area for at least 300,000 years, triggering new star formation.

I Am Artemis: Peter Rossoni

Artemis II Pushes Laser Communications Into Operational Deep-Space Use

NASA says Artemis II was the first crewed deep-space mission to use laser communications.
The Orion optical terminal transferred more than 450 GB of data during the roughly 10-day mission.
NASA framed the result as evidence that optical links have moved beyond demonstration into operations.

Artemis II broke Fred Haise's distance record, but he is happy to pass it on

Artemis II pushes human spaceflight farther from Earth than Apollo 13

Artemis II traveled 252,756 miles from Earth, surpassing Apollo 13.
The previous distance record had stood for almost 56 years.
Mission trajectory and the Moon’s changing orbit explain the new maximum distance.
The record symbolizes the revival of human lunar exploration.

House Science Committee pans NASA budget request

House Science Committee Rebukes NASA Budget Plan as Lawmakers Question Deep Cuts

The proposed fiscal 2027 NASA budget would cut overall spending by 23%, with deeper reductions to science and aeronautics.
House Science Committee members from both parties criticized the request at an April 22 hearing.
Chair Brian Babin said the proposal would not support NASA’s assigned goals, while Zoe Lofgren blamed OMB for the cuts.
Administrator Jared Isaacman defended the plan by citing major overruns and arguing NASA can operate more efficiently.

Chris Hadfield Says Artemis II’s Biggest Impact May Arrive Decades Later

Chris Hadfield said Artemis II could have a measurable global impact that may take decades to fully appear.
He emphasized the importance of visible, positive public examples in shaping future ambitions and careers.
The comments come as NASA pushes ahead with plans for a permanent human habitat on the moon.
The interview frames Artemis II as both a mission milestone and a cultural catalyst.

This Hubble image shows part of the Trifid Nebula, an object the space telescope first observed in 1997. This image is part of NASA's celebration for the telescope's 35th year of work. The central part of the image looks almost like a sea slug with its pair of antennae. Image Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI; Image Processing: Joseph DePasquale (STScI)

Hubble Revisits the Trifid Nebula and Finds Change on Human Timescales

Hubble revisited the Trifid Nebula nearly three decades after imaging it in 1997.
Astronomers can compare the images to track changes in jets and gas structures.
The observations help study star formation on unusually short, human-observable timescales.

Well, this is embarrassing: The Lunar Gateway's primary modules are corroded

Lunar Gateway corrosion gives NASA another reason to shelve the Moon station

NASA’s Lunar Gateway had already been paused before a new corrosion disclosure surfaced.
Administrator Jared Isaacman confirmed corrosion in both HALO and I-HAB during House testimony.
The issue adds technical risk to a program already facing schedule slips and strategic criticism.

Curiosity’s Mastcam captured this mosaic on Feb. 3, 2019, of a region on Mount Sharp with lots of clay-bearing rocks that formed when lakes and streams were present billions of years ago. The “Mary Anning 3” sample was found in this clay-enriched region. The rover's SAM analysis showed that Mars is capable of preserving ancient biosignatures. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS

Curiosity Finds a Richer Set of Organic Molecules on Mars

Curiosity found the most diverse set of organic molecules yet reported on Mars.
The compounds were detected in a clay-bearing sandstone sample drilled in Gale Crater.
Scientists say the result supports the idea that Mars can preserve ancient biosignatures, even though it does not prove past life.

The images of Trumpler 3 and NGC 2353 are open clusters that contains hundreds of young stars that are gravitationally bound together because they formed from the same gas cloud. In this composite image of the clusters, X-rays from Chandra (purple) have been combined with an optical image from the PanSTARRS telescope in Hawaii (red, green, and blue). The stars look like fuzzy dots of different sizes dotting the darkness of space.

NASA Study Suggests Young Sun-Like Stars Calm Down Faster Than Expected

NASA says young Sun-like stars are dimmer in X-rays than previously thought.
The study examined eight clusters aged 45 million to 750 million years.
Lower-than-expected X-ray output could improve prospects for life on orbiting planets.
