SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket Thursday from Kennedy Space Center with a four-man crew heading for a six-month stay on the International Space Station, including the first Arab astronaut to fly on a long-duration space mission.
SpaceX just sent the Crew-6 astronaut mission on its way to the International Space Station, and NASA couldn't be happier.
The NASA/European Space Agency (ESA)/Canadian Space Agency (CSA) James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) mission continues to dazzle and amaze with every image it beams back to Earth, and a recent observation depicting not one, not two, but three images of the same galaxy has been no different, as they proudly tweeted on February 28, 2023.
SpaceX's Crew-6 mission for NASA launched early Thursday morning (March 2) with a crew of four on course to dock with the International Space Station in about 24 hours.
The timeline below covers major vehicle and crew activities during the Crew-5 countdown and rendezvous with the International Space Station. All times assume liftoff of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center at 12:34:14 a.m. EST (1534:14 GMT) on March 2. All times in Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5).
Before capturing "unreal" footage of auroras from the International Space Station, Josh Cassada was troubleshooting how to fit a fifth person into a four-seat SpaceX spacecraft.
When NASA crashed a 610 kg (1,340 lb) impactor into tiny Dimorphos, a moon of the asteroid Didymos, it was all part of an effort to defend Earth. The impact showed how asteroids respond to impacts, and the data is helping NASA prepare for the day when we have to redirect an asteroid away from an eventual impact with Earth.

You can catch an incredibly close view of these worlds for 2 hours after sunset tonight (March 1).
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission slammed into a small space rock last year, and the effects were visible from Earth orbit.
What time is it on the moon? The dawn of a new era of space exploration means space agencies may need to decide on a common "lunar time."

Earth experienced the most powerful solar storm of the current solar cycle last month, causing auroras to spread far away from their usual polar haunts. These are some of the most interesting sightings.
Astronomers have determined that so-called “leaky” galaxies may have responsible for triggering the last great transformational epoch in our universe, one which ionized the neutral interstellar gas.
A new image taken by a camera designed to study dark matter reveals remnants of an ancient supernova explosion in unprecedented detail.

When is 50,000 light-years only a small distance? When three galaxies are that close to one another. At that range, they’re fiercely interacting.
Astronomers studying data from NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission have found out a great deal about its target space rock, and about planetary defense in general.
SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft can be retrofit for missions to the International Space Station and for free-flying Earth orbiting opportunities.
Five new studies give a full accounting of the aftermath of the impact of NASA's DART mission on a nearby asteroid.
These are the nights to get ready for the aurorae — and tonight may be your lucky night. Not only is the current solar cycle swiftly intensifying, March is one of the best times of the year to see the northern lights.
