SpaceX successfully launched the third Dragon Spacecraft of the year, for the space station.


SpaceX has successfully deployed the Dragon on its way to the International Space Station,launching the Dragon spacecraft from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida,the Dragon Spacecraft's 40th launch for the space station. 7, 11, 2019 The dragon will be captured by the crew at the Sabuh International Space Station on Sunday.

SpaceX successfully launched the Falcon 9 launch, successfully separating the Falcon 9 booster dragon at 2 minutes 40 seconds after liftoff. And 10 minutes later, the Falcon 9 booster course landed on I Still I Love You, the Falcon 9 booster's 46th landing.

SpaceX launched Falcon 9 at 12:29 pm SpaceX launched its third cargo mission to NASA this year.The purpose is to transport more than 5,700 pounds of research, supplies and hardware to the International Space Station, including 250  Contains important material to support dozens of more science investigations and technology demonstrations.

About 10 minutes after launch, the dragon will reach its initial orbit. It will then leave for its Solar Dragon spacecraft ISS, at which time it will begin a carefully choreographed series of thrust firing. It will arrive on ISS on 7 December morning, and the expedition 61.Commander Luca Permitano will play the role of a dragon with NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan. Jessica Mir of NASA will assist the pair by monitoring telemetry during the Dragon's approach, and the crew will monitor the vehicle's actions. After the Dragon is captured, the mission in Houston will send commands to rotate the arm of the control station and install it under the station's Harmony Earth-Face Port.

JWST Just Dropped a Space Banger – Meet HH 30, the Cosmic Baby Star with an Attitude!

  ๐Ÿš€Hubble Found It, Webb Flexed on It! NASA, ESA, and CSA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) just hit us with another mind-blowing “Picture of the Month,” and this time, it’s all about HH 30 —a baby star with a dramatic flair! Sitting pretty in the Taurus Molecular Cloud, this young star is rocking a protoplanetary disc that’s literally glowing with potential future planets. And oh, it’s got some serious jets and a disc wind to show off!   ๐Ÿ’ซ What’s So Special About HH 30? Ever heard of Herbig-Haro objects? No? Cool, neither did most of us until now! These are glowing gas clouds marking the tantrums of young stars as they spit out jets of gas at supersonic speeds. HH 30 is one of them, but with a twist—it’s a prototype edge-on disc, meaning we get a front-row seat to the magic of planet formation!   ๐Ÿ“ก Webb, Hubble & ALMA—The Ultimate Space Detective Team.   To break down HH 30’s secrets, astronomers went full detective mode using:   ✔️...

Solar Storm Shocker: Earth Gets a Cosmic Makeover with Two New Radiation Belts!

  The May 2024 solar storm formed two new radiation belts between the Van Allen Belts, with one containing protons, creating a unique composition never observed before. Picture this: May 2024, the Sun throws a massive tantrum, sending a solar storm hurtling toward Earth. The result? Stunning auroras light up the skies, GPS systems go haywire, and—wait for it—Earth gets two brand-new *temporary* radiation belts! That’s right, our planet just got a cosmic upgrade, thanks to the largest solar storm in two decades. And no, this isn’t a sci-fi movie plot—it’s real science, folks!   Thanks to NASA’s Colorado Inner Radiation Belt Experiment (CIRBE) satellite, scientists discovered these new belts, which are like Earth’s Van Allen Belts’ quirky cousins. Published on February 6, 2025, in the *Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics*, this discovery is a game-changer for space research, especially for protecting satellites and astronauts from solar storm shenanigans. ...

NASA/ESA Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Supernova to Aid Distance Measurements.

  The Hubble Space Telescope has recently captured a striking image of a supernova-hosting galaxy, located approximately 600 million light-years away in the constellation Gemini. This image, taken about two months after the discovery of supernova SN 2022aajn, reveals a bright blue dot at the center, signifying the explosive event. Although SN 2022aajn was first announced in November 2022, it has not yet been the subject of extensive research. However, Hubble's interest in this particular supernova lies in its classification as a Type Ia supernova, a type that is key to measuring cosmic distances. Type Ia supernovae occur when a star's core collapses, and they are particularly useful for astronomers because they have a predictable intrinsic brightness. No matter how far away a Type Ia supernova is, it emits the same amount of light. By comparing its observed brightness to this known luminosity, astronomers can calculate how far away the supernova — and its host galaxy — are from...
