First came the tourists. Next comes the business. Blue Origin says it will create a new privately owned space station in orbit around the Earth — what it calls a "mixed-use business park" in space.
"The station will open the next chapter of human space exploration and development by facilitating the growth of a vibrant ecosystem and business model for the future," Blue Origin said Monday as it unveiled the plan.

Signs of an extreme planet found in another galaxy
About 28 million years ago in the distant Whirlpool Galaxy, a blue supergiant star was having a downright miserable time.
The young, enormous star was stuck in a gravitational dance with a greedy partner—perhaps a black hole or a dense neutron star—whose gravity was so intense, it was feeding like a vampire on the star's exterior.
Alien contact: Promising radio signal just 'human-generated interference' | New
A signal heralded as the best candidate yet for evidence of alien technology has finally been analysed, and it turns out that it was almost certainly just interference from our own radio technology.
What is this radio signal?
The signal, dubbed Breakthrough Listen Candidate 1 or simply BLC1, was detected by the Parkes Observatory in Australia, which observed the Proxima Centauri system over a huge range of wavelengths in 2019.

Scientists Capture Rare Direct Image of Planet 400 Light Years Away
Scientists have captured a photograph of a planet located more than 400 light years away from the Earth.
The finding is rare and adds to only a handful of planets that have been observed directly with telescopes.
The planet is also one of the youngest ever discovered around a distant infant star and could help researchers find out more about how planets form over time, according to the University of Hawai'i.

A Sky Full of Planets – Wawa-news.com
For thousands of years, the night sky was just a splash of random dots. Over time, constellations were formed by connecting the brighter points of light of a certain area of sky. Here, imaginary shapes were formed representing an object, person, animal or even a god – the constellations.
The word planet came from the early Greeks meaning "wanderer" or "wandering star" and for obvious reasons. Seen with the unaided eye are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus and Neptune were discovered via the telescope in 1781 and 1846 respectively.
