Packham recalls visiting his grandparents’ house located on the southern coast of England as a boy and gazing at the star-strewn heavens alongside his uncle and grandfather.
“I watched that over and over, and I thought, ‘That’s what I want to do,'” Packham said. “It is without fail, the coolest stuff that we can do … so that’s when I started to optimize my school and then university days towards doing this flavor of science.
The Space Review: What is space development?
The current NASA program of space “exploration” consists primarily of developing its own heavy-lift transport system, using commercial providers for its existing launch needs, operating a scientific space station in low Earth orbit, and designing, building and operating a large ...
Webb Captures Stellar Gymnastics in the Cartwheel Galaxy
This image of the Cartwheel Galaxy and its companion galaxies is a composite from Webb's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). MIRI data is colored red while NIRCam data is colored blue, orange, and yellow.
The space telescope's powerful infrared gaze provides a new view of how the galaxy has changed over billions of years.
Private space stations are the future, but the ISS isn't done yet | Space
The International Space Station (ISS) is entering its golden years, but activities aboard the orbiting lab aren't slowing down — just the opposite, in fact.
The ISS can't fly forever, however, and NASA officials envision a diverse market of commercial space stations taking its place as demand for access to low Earth orbit (LEO) continues to increase.
How to Follow Webb's Next Steps – James Webb Space Telescope
Now that NASA's James Webb Space Telescope's first images and data are out, you might be wondering: What comes next?
The observatory has a packed schedule of science programs looking at all kinds of cosmic phenomena, like planets, stars, galaxies, black holes, and more.
Interview on 'A Portrait of the Scientist as a Young Woman' | Space
For a planetary scientist, Lindy Elkins-Tanton of Arizona State University has what is perhaps a particularly eclectic resume.

NASA's Artemis I Will Send Shaun the Sheep Around the Moon - CNET
Artemis I will be an uncrewed mission that will send NASA's Orion spacecraft with an ESA service module attached on a cruise by our natural satellite. The plush woolly toy astronaut will have an epic view of the cosmos all to himself, it seems.
The mission will see Orion and Shaun fly almost 500,000 kilometers (311,000 miles) from Earth, which is further than any human or stop-motion animation character has ever traveled.

"Artemis 1 is an uncrewed flight test, the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to the moon," NASA officials wrote in an announcement (opens in new tab) .
James Webb Space Telescope sees Earendel, most distant star | Space
The James Webb Space Telescope has caught a glimpse of the most distant star known in the universe, which had been announced by scientists using Webb's predecessor the Hubble Space Telescope only a few months ago.
The original Hubble image provides some guidance as to where to look through the zoomed-in cut-out. Essentially, Earendel, is the tiny whitish dot below a cluster of distant galaxies . By comparing the Hubble image with that captured by Webb, you can find the elusive Earendel.
