A Cosmic Tarantula, Caught by NASA's Webb
In this mosaic image stretching 340 light-years across, Webb's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula star-forming region in a new light, including tens of thousands of never-before-seen young stars that were previously shrouded in cosmic dust.
The cycle of star formation is on display in this nearby nebula. Webb's MIRI instrument captures protostars nestled deep in clouds of gas and dust, still gathering mass.
NASA's iconic Voyager 1 marks 45 years in space | Space
The Voyager 1 probe launched 45 years ago, on Sept. 5, 1977, just weeks after its twin Voyager 2 but soon overtaking it. The two spacecraft were designed to fly past Jupiter and Saturn, taking advantage of a favorable solar system alignment.
"Today, as both Voyagers explore interstellar space, they are providing humanity with observations of uncharted territory," Linda Spilker, Voyager's deputy project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, said in a statement (opens in new tab) .

NASA Is Going To Crash A Spacecraft Into An Asteroid This Month To Deflect Its Course | IFLScience
NASA is about to slam a spaceship into an asteroid about the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza in an attempt to alter its course. The project, part of NASA's Planetary Defense remit, aims to test whether the method could be used in the event of an asteroid on a collision course with Earth.
NASA Scrubs Second Artemis I Launch Attempt - The New York Times
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — Before the first launch attempt of the Artemis I mission last Monday, Wayne Hale, a former program manager of NASA's space shuttle program, shared a note of caution on Twitter that the day could end up disappointing:
I don't want to be a Debbie downer but I rate the chances of #Artemis1 launch on Monday at about 50/50 not counting weather. It's the first launch of a new complex rocket and there are likely still bugs to be worked out. Sorry if that makes folks upset but best to be realistic
10 UCF Knights Supported Artemis Mission Through Summer Internships at NASA | University of ...
UCF was one of seven universities to be awarded funding from NASA's Minority University Research and Education Project Space Technology Artemis Research, or M-STAR, initiative this past year.
As a result of this grant, 10 Knights had the opportunity to intern at NASA centers across the country for the summer. Each student completed a research project under the guidance of an industry and faculty advisor. The students and the majors they are pursuing are:
