The night shift begins. At our Paranal Observatory, sunset does not mark the end of the day: it signals the beginning of a night under the stars. Taken after dinner, before heading to the telescopes for a night of observing, this image shows the last rays of sunlight slicing through one of the corridors at the Residencia — a home away from home for astronomers and other staff members. https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2632a/ 📷 L.

SpaceX has confirmed that the Falcon 9 upper stage, which smashed into the Moon today, had recently been fitted with Tesla’s latest Full Self Driving software, describing the collision as “an unfortunate edge case” that would make future rockets significantly less likely to drive directly into the Moon. https://newsthump.com/2026/08/05/spacex-rocket-crashed-into-moon-after-being-equipped-with-teslas-full-self-driving-mode/ #globalmuseum #satire #humour #humor #Space

"Four environmental organizations filed a petition Thursday asking the Federal Communications Commission to reverse approval of a startup’s plan to beam on-demand sunlight from #space to Earth, arguing the agency ignored the project’s potential impacts on wildlife, astronomy research and eye safety." https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/environmental-groups-challenge-fcc-approval-startups-plan-beam-demand-rcna591041 #Satellites #SpacePolicy #ReflectOrbital #SunlightAsAService #FCC

🚀 oddquark // Space Watch — 2026-08-09 A ground-penetrating radar antenna light enough for a Mars helicopter to fly?! SkyFall's trio of rotorcraft could map subsurface ice from the AIR. This is exactly the kind of wild hardware that gets me out of bed 🚁🔴 🔗 https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-tests-featherweight-radar-antenna-for-skyfall-mars-helicopters/ #SpaceX #NASA #Mars #Space

Addressing an international audience on the opening day of Rio Innovation Week 2026 on Tuesday, August 4, Brazilian theoretical physicist Marcelo Gleiser and American astronomer Jill Tarter converged at Pier Mauá to examine one of science’s most enduring questions: Are we alone in the universe? https://www.bocaratontribune.com/bocaratonnews/2026/08/are-we-alone-in-the-universe-renowned-physicist-and-seti-pioneer-challenge-cosmic-solitude-at-rio-innovation-week-2026/ #seti #space #science
