CNN —Flybys of Jupiter’s fiery moon Io, carried out by NASA’s Juno spacecraft, are helping to solve the enduring mystery of why the small moon is the most volcanically active body in our solar system. Similar in size to Earth’s moon, Io has an estimated 400 volcanoes that continuously release plumes and lava that coat that moon’s surface. The spacecraft zipped within 930 miles (1,500 kilometers) of the moon’s surface, capturing images and data. NASA's Juno spacecraft captures the north polar region of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io on December 30, 2023. CNN/JPLThe Juno spacecraft continues to contribute new insights about Jupiter and its moons, having recently completed a flyby over Jupiter’s swirling cloud tops on November 24.

AdvertisementTrump's choice of NASA Administrator suggests he wants to shake up the agency's status quo. More importantly, though, he's on the cutting edge of the new commercial space age, where private companies are becoming the biggest actors in space. AdvertisementThe nomination, which still has to be confirmed by the Senate, suggests that Trump wants to shake things up at NASA. That's the slow-moving status quo that Trump might aim to shake up. In places like Alabama and Southern California, a status quo NASA fuels the work of legacy aerospace contractors like Boeing and Northrop Grumman.

The delay also affects Artemis-3 moon landing, now planned for 2027. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said the mission is still ahead of China's moon landing plans in 2030. NASA on Thursday delayed sending astronauts back to the moon in a setback for its Artemis program, which is already several years late and billions over budget. The Artemis 2 mission, which plans to fly astronauts to the moon and back, has been pushed back from September 2025 to April 2026. With Trump's nomination of billionaire Jared Isaacman as NASA's next administrator, concerns are growing about the future of Artemis and NASA's lunar strategy.

Isaacman, who has twice traveled to space on private missions and has close ties to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk but lacks experience in government or academia, is an unorthodox selection. If confirmed, Isaacman would be only the fourth of 15 NASA administrators to have actually traveled to space. Isaacman’s relationship with SpaceXIsaacman’s close ties with SpaceX and Musk are likely to raise questions about conflicts of interest. Trump, Musk and Isaacman’s visionDespite Isaacman’s close relationship with Musk, the two have adopted starkly different tones regarding politics. “I don’t need to have a public opinion on his politics because there is much more to the man and his companies,” Isaacman said of Musk in an October 11 post.

The Summary NASA's next Artemis mission, which will send four astronauts around the moon, is delayed until 2026, the agency announced. The delay also pushes back the expected timeline of a subsequent Artemis mission to land astronauts on the lunar surface. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said that under the new timeline, the U.S. will still be on track to put astronauts on the moon before China does. In January, NASA said it would launch the Artemis II mission in September 2025 instead of late 2024. Extensive testing revealed that the heat shield likely eroded because of the specific way that the Orion capsule returned to Earth.

NASA chief Bill Nelson announced on Thursday new delays in the U.S. space agency's Artemis program to return astronauts to the moon for the first time since 1972, pushing back the next two planned missions including the planned lunar landing. Nelson told a news conference that the next Artemis mission, sending astronauts around the moon and back, has slipped to April 2026, with the subsequent moon landing mission pushed to 2027. The Artemis program has made noteworthy progress but also has experienced various delays and rising costs. NASA is using SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other contractors in the Artemis program. Trump's first NASA chief, former U.S. congressman Jim Bridenstine, launched the Artemis program and persuaded Congress to increase the agency's budget to fund it.

CNN —A Russian-controlled segment of the International Space Station is leaking, allowing pressure and air to bleed out. The situation has reached a fever pitch as cosmonauts scramble to patch problem areas and officials from Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, and NASA disagree about the severity of the problem. Looming space station issuesNASA has contingencies in place for crew safety, but the space agency is also grappling with the fact that the leaking Russian module may pose a threat to the safety and longevity of the space station. In addition to Roscosmos, they include the Canadian Space Agency, European Space Agency and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Still, it’s not clear whether the commercial destinations will be ready before the space station is forced to retire.

Space industry experts told Business Insider that Musk's influence over Trump could help advance his business interests, including sending the first crewed mission to Mars. "I'm hugely optimistic about what's going to happen in space now," Michelle Hanlon, executive director of the Center for Air and Space Law at the University of Mississippi School of Law, told Business Insider. Hanlon's optimism isn't unfounded, especially if Trump's second term focuses on space as much as his first. AdvertisementDuring his first term, from 2017 to 2021, Trump's administration founded the Space Force, re-launched the National Space Council, and established NASA's Artemis program. A spokesperson for Trump's campaign said that Musk's ideas and efficiency will benefit federal bureaucracy but his role in Trump's administration remains under wraps.

“It could completely reshape our understanding of the solar system and of other planetary systems, and how we fit into that context. Brown and his colleague, planetary scientist Konstantin Batygin, reported having strong evidence of a hidden planet on the fringes of our solar system. “If you look at these bodies, their lifetimes are tiny compared to the age of the solar system,” Batygin said. “By now, we expected to have found many more of these extreme trans-Neptunian objects,” Sheppard said in an email. Finding a smaller planet would also spark excitement, Rice added, because every solar system planet is immensely useful for extrapolating information about the thousands of comparable exoplanets that researchers are uncovering across the galaxy.

Voyager 1 is now using a radio transmitter it hasn’t relied on since 1981 to stay in contact with its team on Earth while engineers work to understand what went wrong. NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is depicted in this artist's concept traveling through interstellar space, or the space between stars, which it entered in 2012. Voyager 1 has been using one of its two radio transmitters, called an X-band based on the frequency it utilizes, for decades. In the meantime, engineers sent a message to Voyager 1 on October 22 to check that the S-band transmitter was working and received confirmation on October 24. “The S-band signal is too weak to use long term,” Waggoner said.

CNN —A mile and a half beneath the ocean’s surface, the seafloor seems nearly as alien as the surfaces of other planets. These hydrothermal vents belch warm towers of elements that draw clusters of animal life, such as tube worms. There, animals develop symbiotic relationships with bacteria that use chemical reactions to produce sugars necessary for life beyond the reach of sunlight. Mónika Naranjo-Shepherd/Schmidt Ocean InstitueThe arms of an underwater robot helped uncover communities of giant tube worms and snails living in volcanic caves beneath warm vents in the Pacific Ocean. The finding suggests unique ecosystems on the seafloor and within the subseafloor are connected, allowing life to thrive above and below the ocean bed.
