Best image of the week

Helping Hand in Cassiopeia

This image taken by an individual photographer, Franceso Radici, captures the Helping Hand Nebula, located in Cassipeia, which is located around 11.000 light-years away and expands across 13 light-years.

The name for this nebula, is because it resembles in some way to a hand stretching out, just like if it was “offering help”.

Last week news

  • China's Space Station Crew Returns: On November 4, 2024, three Chinese astronauts concluded a six-month mission aboard the Tiangong space station, safely landing in Inner Mongolia. Their mission included welcoming a replacement crew and conducting experiments to enhance the station's defenses against space debris.

  • Gilmour Space Technologies' Orbital Launch Permit: Australian company Gilmour Space Technologies received the nation's first orbital launch permit, paving the way for the Eris rocket's launch from the Bowen Orbital Spaceport before year's end. This milestone positions Australia as a significant player in the global space industry.

  • NASA's Europa Clipper Mission: NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft successfully launched, embarking on its journey to study Jupiter's icy moon, Europa. The mission aims to investigate the moon's potential habitability and its subsurface ocean.

Upcoming events

  • Leonid Meteor Shower Peak: The Leonid meteor shower is expected to peak between the late night of November 17 and early morning of November 18, 2024. Known for its fast meteors and occasional fireballs, it's a spectacle not to be missed.

  • SpaceX's Starship Test Flight: SpaceX has scheduled the sixth test flight of its Starship prototype for November 18, 2024, with a 30-minute launch window starting at 22:00 UTC. This test is crucial for the development of their interplanetary spacecraft.
