South Korea joined the stampede to the moon on Thursday with the launch of a lunar orbiter that will scout out future landing spots. The satellite launched by SpaceX is taking a long, roundabout path to conserve fuel and will arrive in December. (Aug. 5)
SpaceX just got one step closer to the first orbital test flight of its launch system Starship with the successful static fire test of a prototype Super Heavy booster late Tuesday afternoon. The successful test is a notable milestone for SpaceX, which has been working on its Starship program from its Boca Chica development facility in southeast Texas. It comes just a few weeks after a previous booster test resulted in an explosion at the launch pad -- though the damage was clearly not catastrophic, as this same booster was tested today.
With the technological advances in telescope instrumentation and software capabilities, it became necessary to streamline the observation process.

The head of the European Space Agency (ESA) has warned economic damage from heatwaves and drought could dwarf Europe's energy crisis as he called for urgent action to tackle climate change. Director General Josef Aschbacher told Reuters successive heatwaves along with wildfires, shrinking rivers and rising land temperatures as measured from space left no doubt about the toll on agriculture and other industries from climate change. More than 57,200 hectares have been swallowed by wildfire in France this year, nearly six times the full-year average.

STORY: Landfills around the world release lots of methane due to decomposing food wasteSource: Science Advances studyA satellite-mounted detector showed high methane levels over cities in India, Pakistan and ArgentinaHigh-resolution satellite images snapped in 2020 revealed the gas was coming from upwind landfillsOne Mumbai landfill, for example, was putting out over 94,000 tons of methane per yearMeanwhile a Buenos Aires landfill emitted just under 276,000 annual tons That’s half of the city's total methane emissionsLandfill waste is responsible for about 11% of global methane emissionsand is expected to increase about 70% by 2050 as the global population continues to climbSource: World BankMitigation steps might include food composting or capturing the methane for biogas
An orbital launch of SpaceX’s new massive rocket is getting closer to reality with the company firing up its new engines for launch pad hot fires of both a super heavy booster and Starship prototype. The company performed the two separate hot fires at its Boca Chica, Texas site Starbase on Monday posting images and video to its social media of the dialed-back tests. In mid-July, the Super ...
