Scientists with the James Webb Space Telescope shared this image of the central region of the Chamaeleon I dark molecular cloud in January. The James Webb Space Telescope captured the central region of the Chamaeleon I dark molecular cloud, which is 630 light years away. Webb helps scientists identify icy molecules that are 630 light years away Uranus has 13 known rings and 11 of them are visible in this Webb image. DePasquale (STScI)Ī new image released in April from the James Webb Space Telescope provides a stunning look at the rings around Uranus.Īccording to a NASA news release, these rings have only been imaged by two other facilities: the Voyager 2 spacecraft as it flew past the planet in 1986 and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii using advanced adaptive optics. It reveals stunning views of the planet’s rings. This zoomed-in image of Uranus was captured by the James Webb Space Telescope on Feb.

But their 10-day mission around the moon, the Artemis II mission scheduled for late 2024, will be the closest anyone has come in more than 50 years. These astronauts won’t walk on the lunar surface. They're shown above giving hugs to fellow astronauts. NASA announced April 3 that Americans Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Hammock Koch and Canadian Jeremy Hansen will become the next four people to visit the moon. NASA Astronaut Corps greet and stand alongside Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Reid Wiseman of NASA, and Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency, the four astronauts who will fly around the moon in late 2024 as part of NASA's Artemis II mission on Saturday Apat the NASA Johnson Space Center's Ellington Field in Houston. NASA names the four-person crew who will circle the moon It was still a successful mission for SpaceX, which will adjust its rocket based on the data collected from this flight test. But then it failed to separate from the Starship spacecraft, and they began to spin above the Gulf of Mexico before erupting into a big fireball. The Super Heavy rocket made history as it powered upward. The rocket engines flashed through the fog, and the rocket slowly climbed 24 miles into the sky - before exploding about four minutes after liftoff. The Super Heavy rocket and Starship spacecraft took their inaugural flight from South Texas on 4/20, much to the amusement of SpaceX founder Elon Musk. The Super Heavy rocket pushes the Starship spacecraft on its inaugural flight test from Boca Chica on Thursday, April 20, 2023, in Boca Chica.
