If humans are ever going to live and work in space, it is paramount that we can meet our basic needs far from home. This includes food and water, but the most vital element is a steady supply of clean air to breathe. This is especially important for long-duration missions to the Moon, Mars, and other deep space destinations. For any astronauts or inhabitants this far from Earth, opportunities for resupply missions are few and far between. To this end, NASA and other space agencies are looking to In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) as the solution.
One of our universe's biggest stars has dramatically turned into a rare, yellow 'hypergiant' star, and astronomers aren't sure when it will go supernova.
The U.S. Space Force is putting an indefinite halt on all national security missions aboard United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur, following a repeat anomaly with the rocket's side boosters.

NASA has replaced two bigwigs in its human spaceflight program, just a week after releasing a report criticizing how the agency handled the first crewed flight of Boeing's Starliner astronaut taxi.
The Solar System's icy moons are a focal point in our search for habitability and life. Among them are Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, all Galilean moons of Jupiter. Their environmental conditions play a big role in potential habitability, but so does chemistry. Without the right molecular building blocks, life can't get started.

No two snowflakes are the same, and neither are nebulae. The NASA/ESA/CSA JWST showed how undeniable that statement is when it imaged PMR 1, also known as the Exposed Cranium Nebula (ECN). The glowing cloud of gas and dust bears an eerie resemblance to a cosmic x-ray of a human skull, complete with a double-hemisphere arrangement of grey matter.
