Astronauts just gave the International Space Station a powerful upgrade
Two astronauts completed a 7-hour, 11-minute spacewalk to install a new solar array on the International Space Station, bringing NASA one step closer to a major power upgrade. Once the final array is installed on November 5, the station will have up to 30% more available power, supporting critical operations and its eventual controlled deorbit.

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope exceeds expectations by nearly 30%
NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has exceeded expectations after engineers made incredibly tiny adjustments to sharpen its view of the universe. By moving a mirror just one-sixteenth the width of a human hair, the team helped bring its powerful instruments into near-perfect alignment. Roman’s Wide Field Instrument now produces image quality nearly 30% better than predicted, promising exceptionally sharp cosmic surveys.

Hubble Space Telescope may have found a planet born after its star died
A strange chemical signature in old Hubble observations may point to a planet that formed after its star had already died. Astronomers found unusually high levels of niobium around the white dwarf HS 0209+0832, suggesting some of the star’s expelled material may have assembled into a new gas giant. TESS data also hints at a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting just 3.7 million miles from the star.

Moonless.
Most of our readers know H.P. Lakrofe as author. His name was created by a new man – Lavrofeyan Horer. However, Lavroft wrote several science fictions as well as Herrre. In many of them, he predicted the moonless Mars planet. No wonder that prophecy can really be fulfilled, but if you understand everything, we need to know about two moons of good. Draw the night

13.8 billion years old, how the universe extends to 9 billion light years
The universe is about 13.8 billion years old. Today, however, the vastness of the watchful universe is about 85 billion light years. Apparently it's impossible. The question is, if light is only traveling for 13.8 billion years, how can we monitor the regions of the 46.5 billion light years away? The answer is hidden between one of the most important elements of modern world science. We know, through the light.
