China’s Shenzhou 14 spacecraft glided to an automated docking at the Tiangong space station Sunday, hours after launching with three astronauts to begin a six-month mission that will see the outpost triple in size with the arrival of two new 20-ton research modules.
On the 10th anniversary of the last transit of Venus, find out what makes these events so special and what else to look out for during the long wait for the next one.
China's three-person Shenzhou 14 mission arrived at the Tianhe core module early Sunday morning (June 5), about six hours after lifting off.
Less than two hours after they landed from space, the six members of Blue Origin's fifth crewed mission were all sure of at least one thing: one flight into space was not enough.
Experiments headed to the space station on a SpaceX Dragon capsule this week will research how microgravity affects wound healing, creating concrete with organic compounds and more.
China has sent its third crew toward the nation's new space station with the launch of the six-month-long Shenzhou 14 mission.

Three Chinese military pilots are ready for launch Saturday on a Long March 2F rocket to begin a six-month expedition to help expand China’s space station in low Earth orbit, a mission slated to include the arrival of two modules and multiple spacewalks.
Auroras don't just exist on Earth. Here's what we know about auroras on other planets in the solar system.
A long-running NASA rover imaged twisted Red Planet rock pillars.
A group of 13 telescopes allowed researchers to observe the process behind a unique type of aurora, known as auroral beads, for the first time.
Blue Origin's fifth human spaceflight, a mission called NS-21, is scheduled to launch from the company's West Texas site on June 4, 2022. See photos here.
Blue Origin will launch six more people to the final frontier Saturday morning (June 4), and you can watch the action live.
"Top Gun: Maverick" is a crowd-pleasing example of old-school Hollywood blockbusters.
Science writer Natalie Wolchover has received a 2022 Pulitzer Prize for her work at Quanta Magazine explaining the intricate story of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

When stars die they’re often not alone, and for the first time astronomers have found a companion to a supernova, lingering long after its sibling destroyed itself.
The planet Mars is calling to us. At least, that is the impression one gets when examining all the planned and proposed missions to the Red Planet in the coming decade. With so many space agencies currently sending missions there to characterize its environment, atmosphere, and geological history, it seems likely that crewed missions are right around the corner. In fact, both NASA and China have made it clear that they intend to send missions to Mars by the early 2030s that will culminate in the creation of surface habitats.
Privately developed spacecraft will carry a new suite of science gear to the moon in 2026 to support NASA's Artemis lunar exploration program.
