The James Webb Space Telescope is about to have a new neighbor. This week, the European Space Agency greenlit a scheme to park a comet-intercepting spacecraft at the second LaGrange point, or L2.
Called the Comet Interceptor , the craft will launch in 2029 and then hang out with the Webb until an as-yet-undiscovered comet happens to fly into its sphere — then, it will do what the name suggests: Intercept the comet.
Space telescope spots unexpected starquakes - Egypt Independent
(CNN) – Strange and unexpected tsunami-like starquakes — movements on stars’ crusts similar to earthquakes we experience on our planet — have been revealed by the European Space Agency’s Gaia space observatory.
The unusual starquakes are among multiple new discoveries made by Gaia, a mission launched in 2013 to create the “most accurate and complete multi-dimensional map of the Milky Way.

Ryugu asteroid samples contain super-rare space dirt
Cosmos » Space » Ryugu asteroid samples drop-shipped into South Australia contain super-rare space dirt
When space dust from the near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu landed in the red desert sands of South Australia a year-and-a-half ago, it was the culmination of a six-year, 5.24-billion-kilometre journey .
Perseverance Mars rover photographs snake rock and boulder | Space
On Sunday (June 12), the car-sized Perseverance snapped a photo that could be mistaken for a still from an "Indiana Jones" movie. At the left of the tableau, a boulder perches precariously atop a slab of gray rock.
The Perseverance team is doubtless excited about this Mars landscape, and for far less fanciful reasons.
Zhurong Rover Spots Evidence of Recent Liquid Water on Mars - Eos
Mars is hardly a verdant world today, yet evidence abounds that liquid water once flowed over the Red Planet .
Just over a year ago, Zhurong—named for the Chinese god of fire —touched down in Mars's northern hemispheric lowlands. Since then, Zhurong has been sampling the morphology and mineralogy of Utopia Planitia, the same wide, sandy plain where NASA's Viking 2 lander arrived in 1976 .
