So freaking beautiful.

So freaking beautiful.

I can't wait for the possible exo-planet imaging. Or trying to at least.

I think we still have a ways to go before we are seeing any type of detail on those.

Scientists might have discovered an Earth-like planet. Let one of them tell you about it.

I think they said at one point it wouldn't be detailed, but for some of the closer ones, atmospheric content could be determined.

Scientists create matter from nothing.

I've posted two articles. The first is the basic findings for people like me the second one goes into a little more depth. I'm sure this experiment will be peer reviewed and tested thoroughly.

Scientists create matter from nothing in groundbreaking experiment

70-year-old quantum prediction comes true, as something is created from nothing

I assume this qualifies as space exploration since matter is being created from empty space. (Empty space, even a complete vacuum is not empty but that is another subject)

That second link made my head hurt.

Scientists May Have Just Discovered a Lake on Mars

Granted it doesn't exactly mean intelligent alien life, but possibly evidence of microbes

With DART going on, I'm not surprised this was missed.

I'd say Starship would be uniquely suited for bringing it back down safely, but for a reboost, I bet they could pull it off. Better than letting it burn up.

On Thursday, September 22, NASA and SpaceX signed an unfunded Space Act Agreement to study the feasibility of a SpaceX and Polaris Program idea to boost the agency’s Hubble Space Telescope into a higher orbit with the Dragon spacecraft, at no cost to the U.S. government.

There are currently no plans for NASA to conduct or fund a servicing mission or compete this opportunity. Rather, this study is designed to help the agency understand the commercial possibilities.

Teams anticipate that the study will take up to six months, collecting technical data from both Hubble and the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. This data will be used to help determine whether it would be possible to safely rendezvous, dock, and move the aging telescope into a more stable orbit.

Here comes the (sonic) boom?

I did hear a small sonic boom from the front porch.
