While the new research suggests that increased launches from private companies like SpaceX are boosting cloud appearances, how these rockets relate to other cloud-forming factors like climate change is not quantified in the study.
“Space traffic plays an important role in the formation and variation of these clouds," lead author Michael Stevens, an atmospheric researcher at the Naval Research Laboratory, said in a NASA release (opens in new tab) July 21.
James Webb Space Telescope detects a surprise supernova | Space
The discovery is surprising as the James Webb Space Telescope wasn't built to search for supernovas; a task usually performed by large-scale survey telescopes that scan vast portions of the sky at short intervals.
Since the detection (opens in new tab) came already in the first week of Webb's science operations, astronomers think that the depth of Webb's images might actually compensate for the small area.

Space lovers should add Hampton to their next liftoff: NASA's Langley Research Center welcomes visitors to its Virginia Air & Space Science Center, and a just-completed $2.5 million renovation means there's more to see and do than ever.
"We're proud to be one of just 14 NASA visitor centers in the country," says Robert Griesmer, Executive Director and CEO for the Virginia Air & Space Science Center.
As more space junk falls to Earth, will China clean up its act? | China | The Guardian
In the next few days, a 23-tonne piece of rocket will plummet to Earth at about 15,000 miles an hour. Much of it may burn up on re-entry, but a significant amount will not.
It could land as one piece but more probably as many, scattered over an area up to several hundred miles across.
Two skyscraper-size asteroids are barreling toward Earth this weekend | Space
Two skyscraper-size asteroids are zooming toward Earth this weekend, with one making its closest approach on Friday (July 29) and the second whizzing by on Saturday (July 30).
The first asteroid , dubbed 2016 CZ31, will fly by around 7 p.m. ET (23:00 GMT) on Friday, whizzing at an estimated 34,560 mph (55,618 km/h, according to NASA (opens in new tab) .
Did You Know That NASA was Established on This Day in 1958? | iTech Post
When it comes to space exploration, we cannot argue that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is one of the world's leading institutions. The agency is carrying the long tradition of pushing the physical and mental boundaries of humanity.
NASA is well known for pushing the frontiers of aeronautics, and for bringing the first human to the moon. The agency is responsible for the many satellites and spacecrafts that made it into space. It's also thanks to NASA that we have the International Space Station.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin targeting Aug. 4 for next tourist launch | Space
Jeff Bezos' company is targeting Thursday (Aug. 4) for the next space-tourism mission of its New Shepard vehicle, which will send six people to suborbital space and back.
The mission — known as NS-22, because it will be the 22nd New Shepard flight, crewed or uncrewed — is scheduled to launch Thursday from Blue Origin's West Texas site at 9:30 a.m. EDT (1330 GMT; 8:30 a.m. local time).
JWST is on the hunt for the 1st supermassive black holes | Space
Even NASA's next-generation space observatory can't manage to see supermassive black holes directly, but that doesn't mean astronomers can't use its data to better understand the mysterious behemoths.
The opportunities are even on display in the first science-quality images from the James Webb Space Telescope (nicknamed JWST or Webb) that NASA unveiled on July 12.
