Best image of the week

What is the most spook-tacular nebula in the galaxy? Probably LDN 43, which bears an astonishing resemblance to a vast cosmic bat flying amongst the stars on a dark Halloween night. Located about 1400 light years away in the constellation Ophiuchus

Last week news

• SpaceX OneWeb Satellite Launch
  On October 20, SpaceX successfully launched 20 Eutelsat OneWeb broadband satellites from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base. This marks another step in expanding OneWeb’s low-Earth orbit constellation, aimed at enhancing global internet coverage. The Falcon 9 booster also made a safe return landing, showcasing its impressive reusability yet again.

• Return of the Falcon 9
  After a brief grounding by the FAA, the Falcon 9 rocket is back in action following the Crew-9 mission mishap in late September. With a thorough investigation and corrective actions in place, the Falcon 9 is set to continue launching with new safety standards for all future missions.

• James Webb’s Gravitational Lens Discovery
  The James Webb Space Telescope recently made a groundbreaking observation of a distant supernova known as SN H0pe, using gravitational lensing to capture three separate images of the explosion. This finding aids scientists in refining measurements of the universe’s expansion rate and deepening our understanding of cosmic distances.
