A Falcon 9 rocket set for launch Monday will deploy the SpaceX’s next batch of Starlink internet satellites into a higher, more circular orbit than the last few flights, reducing the potential risk to the satellites from a solar storm like the one that destroyed at least 38 Starlink spacecraft earlier this month.
Pictures of galaxies never cease to amaze, and astronomers are consistently coming up with new ones that provide a different viewpoint on the universe and maybe some exciting science along with it. A recent picture of the galaxy NGC 7582, taken with the Very Large Telescope (VLT), shows an active supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s core. However, something appears to be redirecting its “wind” away from the rest of the spiral galaxy.
With how many stars there are in our galaxy, there are sure to be plenty of different types of them. But they still continue to amaze us with their differences and constantly challenge our models on how exactly they form. Now a new class of stars was discovered by Dr. Klaus Werner of the University of Tübingen, and they are covered in different materials than expected.

On Feb. 20, 1962, John Glenn circled Earth three times in a capsule named Friendship 7, pulling off the United States' first-ever crewed orbital spaceflight.
The astronauts on the International Space Station, who are the latest to follow John Glenn into orbit, and the city that lit up for his mission 60 years ago marked the legacy of Glenn's spaceflight.
SpaceX will launch more than four dozen satellites and land the returning rocket on Monday (Feb. 21), and you can watch the action live.

Planets aren’t the only celestial objects with moons – asteroids can have them too. They are usually other, smaller asteroids in orbit around a larger central one. Now, a team of Thai and French astronomers found an asteroid system with three satellites. The new four-body system makes complex gravitational problems like the three-body problem look simple by comparison.
It's entirely possible we've just witnessed the single greatest moment in "Star Wars" history.
