The probe launched weeks after its sibling craft, Voyager 2. Since its launch, it got a close encounter with an intriguing moon and entered interstellar space.

Just like more than a half-century ago, the same company will work with NASA again.

Goodyear rolled up its sleeves to produce lunar vehicle tires in collaboration with Lockheed Martin and General Motors. The project is expected to be ready in 2025.

Blue Origin’s much-delayed BE-4 engine may be close to hitting the launch pad. As Bloomberg points out in a report, the U.S. Space Force recently announced in a statement that “Vulcan launch system development activities continue to make progress” towards a first test launch in December.

That’s because “ULA and Blue Origin have completed originally planned BE-4 development testing, and have successfully demonstrated full engine performance.”

Blue Origin could help reduce U.S.’s reliance on Russian engines.

“All the effort that went into making this image a success was worth it.”

The Royal Observatory Greenwich’s Astronomy Photographer of the Year winners have been announced. The top spot goes to an image that’s so impressive it almost doesn’t look real. Austrian photographer Gerald Rhemann captured the image of Comet Leonard and its glowing tail on Christmas Day, 2021, from Namibia, a report from LiveScience.

Rhemann’s image provides an ethereal view of the gas cloud surrounding the comet being swept away by solar wind as the space rock was making its way through the central Solar System. Gerald Rhemann / Royal Museums Greenwich, Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2022.
