🌕🔬 Thanks to advanced modeling, Gateway is getting built with lunar-dust defense in mind! 🚀 The new GOLDMAP program helps NASA predict how sharp, sticky lunar dust may drift, settle, or cling — so the station’s gear stays safe and future moon missions stay on track.

Cassini just gave us a deeper look at Enceladus’ ocean chemistry — new organics found in freshly ejected ice grains hint at active, complex chemistry below the moon’s icy crust. 🌊🧪 Could be key building blocks for life.

Webb just dropped 🔥 — it imaged four spiraling dust shells around the Wolf-Rayet triple-star system “Apep” for the first time. Previous telescopes only saw one. The data also refines their orbit to ~190 years, with close encounters creating massive carbon dust clouds. 🌌🌪️

Big moment for Blue Origin — their New Glenn rocket just launched two NASA satellites (EscaPADE “Blue” & “Gold”) bound for Mars. 🚀 It’s the company’s first science payload for NASA, and they also nailed their very first booster landing at sea.

China is planning to launch an uncrewed Shenzhou-22 spacecraft on Nov 25, 2025 — not for a crew, but as a lifeboat for the astronauts aboard its Tiangong space station. 🚀 This comes after a suspected debris strike damaged the Shenzhou-20 return capsule.
