Is this setting a new precedent for the future of spaceflight?
GPS positions were off by up to 230 feet during the Gannon Solar Storm in May 2024 in a disruption that lasted for up to two days, a new study has revealed.
That's a lot of standard candles.
Houston-based Celestis and The Exploration Company are teaming up to fly a memorial payload on SpaceX's Transporter 14 rideshare mission on Sunday (June 22).
You'll need luck on your side to spot these shooting stars.

SpaceX is preparing for its fourth launch of the year as part of its dedicated smallsat rideshare program, which is set to liftoff from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Sunday.
Within Earth's interior, the molten material that makes up the outer core flows around the inner core in the opposite direction of the Earth's rotation. This "dynamo" is believed to be responsible for generating Earth's magnetosphere, the intrinsic magnetic field that shields life on the surface from harmful radiation. But since the flow of molten material in Earth's core isn't perfectly stable, the magnetosphere ebbs and flows over time. Scientists also theorize that this field prevents Earth's atmosphere from being slowly stripped away by charged solar particles (solar wind), which is believed to have been the case with Mars.

SpaceX is preparing to launch its 260th orbital flight from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in the predawn hours of Sunday.
This no-name galaxy projector has blown us away with its projection quality and interchangeable disks.
The beloved 'oldies and aliens' blockbuster is a movie out of sync with Hollywood norms.
Miami-based multimedia superstar Natasha Tsakos discusses this historic fall flight aboard Zero-G's 'G-Force One' aircraft.
On Episode 166 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik broadcast live from the National Space Society's International Space Development Conference in Orlando.
In what seemed to be a development that came from nowhere, there’s a new entrant into the reusable launch systems competition - Honda. The giant Japanese industrial conglomerate recently launched a prototype reusable rocket up to 300m and landed it safely back on Earth. So what does that mean for the reusable launch vehicle (RLV) industry and the future of inexpensive flights to orbit?
Researchers used an AI model to create a new image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, with some concern from experts.
The universe seems to be spinning, and that could explain what dark energy is and why it's weakening while revealing our place within the multiverse.
The Pleiades, a crescent moon and Venus — what more could an astrophotographer want?
The early Universe was a busy place some 13 billion years ago. That's when countless young galaxies began to evolve and birthed stars at a prodigious rate. The hearts of those very distant galaxies show turbulent, lumpy disks studded with even thicker clumps of dust and gas that spawned their huge batches of stars. Astronomers want to understand what's driving the clumping, so they've turned to recent surveys of closer galaxies in the "local Universe" that contain similar lumpy regions.
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has imaged the crash site of Resilience, a moon lander built and operated by the Tokyo-based company ispace.
Last year, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched the Proba-3 mission to space. Comprised of two spacecraft, the Coronograph and the Occulter, it is a technology demonstrator designed to test techniques for highly-precise satellite formation flying that will pave the way for future multi-satellite missions. This past March, the two spacecraft performed a first-ever feat by flying in tandem for hours without help from mission controllers. They created an artificial solar eclipse in orbit and obtained their first images of the Sun's outer atmosphere (aka corona) in the process.
