Testing Time for Mars
Swiss watch brand Omega has teamed up with ESA to launch the Marstimer: the first watch to display the time on Earth and Mars. Developed in partnership with ESA’s Mars exploration teams and tested at ESA ESTEC, this new watch is space-tough and Mars-mission ready.
Robots Might Jump Around to Explore the Moon
How great are wheels, really? Wheels need axles. Suspension. Power of some kind. And roads, or at least swaths of relatively flat and stable terrain. Then you need to maintain all of it. Because of their cost many civilizations across human history, who knew all about wheels and axles, didn’t bother using them for transportation. Another way to look at it – much of human technology mimics nature. Of the simple machines, levers, inclined planes, wedges, and even screws are observed in nature. Why not the wheel?
RoboCop streaming guide: Where to watch the RoboCop movies online

Nikon Z9 review
The Nikon Z9 is a mirrorless powerhouse, one of the top-performing digital cameras ever made and delicious overkill for astrophotography and landscapes.
James Webb Space Telescope spots 'Sparkler Galaxy' that could host universe's 1st stars
The first deep-field image revealed from the James Webb Space Telescope hid a wealth of treasure including a sparkling galaxy that could host the universe's first stars.
Innovation to combat space debris – Chinese scientists introduce drag sail
Scientists at the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST) have devised an ingenious way to combat the growing problem of space debris. The team fitted a drag sail to a Long March 2 rocket and successfully launched it in July this year. Rocket launches often leave discarded booster stages in low-earth orbit, adding to the pollution of near-earth space. The pilot testing for the sail came as a surprise to many space agencies when, a day after the rocket’s launch, the 25 square meters deorbiting sail was unfolded.
Lego International Space Station review
Join the astronauts in orbit with this excellent, although fragile, Lego International Space Station.
Webb and Hubble capture detailed views of DART impact
Two of the great space observatories, the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, have captured views of a unique experiment to smash a spacecraft into a small asteroid. Observations of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impact mark the first time that Webb and Hubble were used to simultaneously observe the same celestial target.
3 Russian cosmonauts land on Soyuz MS-21 capsule after 195 days on space station

The Milky Way is 'rippling' like a pond, and scientists may finally know why
New research suggests that a strange 'ripple' is causing the Milky Way's stars to vibrate out of step, and an ancient collision with Sagittarius may be to blame.
Asteroid-smash aftermath: Why Europe is sending a probe to DART-battered Dimorphos
More than four years after DART's collision with the asteroid Dimorphos, Europe's Hera mission will help validate the space rock deflection experiment.

Alaska Has New Lakes. Unfortunately, They’re Releasing a lot of Methane
A NASA scientist is finding newly formed lakes in Alaska that are belching greenhouse gases at a high rate. The main one is methane, a gas many people use in their natural gas-fueled grills. She’s tracking these emissions in one of Earth’s most remote regions—the Arctic. It has millions of lakes, many of them hundreds or thousands of years old. But, only the youngest of them are releasing high amounts of methane. And that is due to the effects of climate change on these delicate environments.
Watch live early Thursday: Russian cosmonauts departing International Space Station
