☆ China launched a probe to the far side of the moon, stepping up its space race with the US

China launched the Chang'e-6 probe to collect samples from the far side of the moon. AdvertisementChina on Friday launched a probe to collect samples from the far side of the moon, as it stepped up its space race against the US. The Chang'e-6 probe successfully lifted off from China's Wenchang Space Launch Center at 5.37 a.m. It will collect around two kilograms of lunar samples from the far side of the moon for analysis. "People want to know why this happened," Yi Xu, a professor at the Space Science Institute of Macau University of Science and Technology and a member of the Chang'e-6 science team told The New York Times.

About 14 seconds into the video below, you can see a bright flash appear in Jupiter's southern hemisphere. AdvertisementAdvertisementOne of the brightest, biggest Jupiter fireballs ever recordedKo Arimatsu, an astronomer at Kyoto University, confirmed to The New York Times that there were six reports of this flash on August 28. AdvertisementAdvertisementA fragment of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet impacts Jupiter’s night side in 1994. Jupiter is the 'vacuum cleaner of the solar system'As the largest planet in our solar system, by far, Jupiter has a powerful gravity that pulls in comets and asteroids. In fact, Jupiter's appetite for asteroids and comets has earned it the nickname "vacuum cleaner of the solar system," according to NASA.

☆ Key building block of life found on ocean world orbiting Saturn
  + stars: | 2023-06-14 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
CNN —A key chemical building block of life has been found on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. An ocean exists beneath the thick, icy surface of Enceladus, and plumes of material regularly release from geysers at the moon’s south pole. “Previous geochemical models were divided on the question of whether Enceladus’ ocean contains significant quantities of phosphates at all,” Postberg said. “This key ingredient could be abundant enough to potentially support life in Enceladus’ ocean; this is a stunning discovery for astrobiology.”Some of the additional ocean world moons around Jupiter and Saturn include Europa, Titan and Ganymede. Although the building blocks of life and conditions for habitability exist on Enceladus, no actual life has been detected yet.

☆ A 'fake moon' has been following Earth around the sun since 100 BC, and astronomers just noticed
  + stars: | 2023-06-01 | by ( Morgan Mcfall-Johnsen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
An asteroid has been trailing Earth around the sun since 100 BC, astronomers estimate. The space rock at first appears to be another moon, but it's actually orbiting the sun and not Earth. That makes this asteroid a "quasi-moon" or "fake moon." Scientists first discovered the space rock, called 2023 FW13, in March using the Pan-STARRS observatory in Hawaii. What makes this fake moon uniqueThe full moon rises behind the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.

☆ The green comet and Mars will appear side-by-side next weekend. Spot them together in the sky.

A green comet and Mars will appear side-by-side in the night sky on February 10 and 11. The green comet and the red planet will be visible side-by-side across the Northern Hemisphere on the nights of February 10 and 11. All that could make it much easier to spot the cosmic visitor, a ball of frozen gas and dust called Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), or Comet ZTF for short. Once you spot Mars, finding the green cosmic snowball should be a breeze if it's bright enough. How to see Mars and Comet ZTFThe Hubble Space Telescope took this snapshot of Mars in the 1990s.
☆ NASA images show a meteor crashed into Mars, triggered a big quake, and kicked up surprise water ice

NASA's InSight lander felt a powerful Mars quake. Then an orbiter took a picture of the meteor impact that caused it. The impact kicked up boulders of water ice, which will be crucial for future astronaut missions to Mars. "It was immediately clear that this is the biggest new crater we've ever seen," Ingrid Daubar, InSight impact science lead, said in a press briefing.

☆ Saturn's gravitational pull shredded an ancient moon, creating its iconic rings and unusual tilt, new research suggests
  + stars: | 2022-09-16 | by ( Paola Rosa-Aquino | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
New models suggest Saturn's gravity shredded a moon, Chrysalis, about 160 million years ago. The ancient moon could explain two long-standing mysteries: Saturn's iconic rings and dramatic tilt. Cassini captured five of Saturn's moons in a single frame, on July 29, 2011. Saturn's rings display their subtle colors in this view captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, on August 22, 2009. NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science InstitutePlanetary scientists have long suspected Saturn's tilt may have come from gravitational interactions with Neptune.
