Best image of the week

This image was taken by John Chumack the 26th December 2022 from Ohio.

It captured the comet C/2022 E3 (The Green Comet), also known as the Stone Age comet, as it orbits the sun once every 50,000 years, thus, the last time it was closest to the Sun, we were still in the Stone Age.

Last week news

Boeing Starliner Returns Earth:

The Boeing Starliner, which was initially scheduled to stay on the ISS for only 8 days, has now been there for over 90 days, due to major helium leaks.

The two astronauts that were in the Starliner, are safe on the ISS, waiting to be rescued by SpaceX in February 2025.

It was too risky to bring the two astronauts back on the Starliner, for that reason, the Boeing Starliner returned the 7th of September to Earth uncrewed.

India's Aditya-L1 Solar Mission Update:

The India’s Aditya Solar Mission, has finally entered the Sun orbit, after its launch 4 months ago.

Although the US and the ESA, has already sent probes to the center of the Sun, this is the first time a country in Asia manages to send a satellite to orbit around the Sun.
