OPINION - Space has gone from frontier to front line. But despite this increased urgency and to remain first in flight, the Trump administration recently the Office of Space Commerce's budget. Additionally, NASA remains without a permanent leader and is struggling to select a new lunar lander for its Artemis missions. It's a dangerous place to be as America's adversaries are investing heavily in everything from spy satellites to landing on the Moon. Now is the time for the United States to prioritize investment in innovation and security.

Long before Congress failed to pass a funding bill, the Trump administration essentially started shutting down the government bit by bit, Gorman says. At NASA, entire offices have been shuttered, including her own at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. She had been using data science to predict the cost of future NASA missions. Due to cuts proposed in Trump's budget request, she was reassigned to a new position working on a lunar communications project.

The oldest and most distant black hole known to scientists dates back 13.3 billion years ago, when our universe was still in its teething stage.

"The Trump administration is creating and sharing memes to make fun of deportations, showcasing how humor is used in political discourse."

The project aims to capture and catalog the moon's reflected light with unparalleled precision for satellite calibration.

Mars isn't just a planet. It's a philosophy, an ideology. The way humans think about it changes over time, reflecting the unstable mix of assumptions, hopes, dreams and anxieties that define each historical moment.

"There were claims of a tail, but since 3I/ATLAS is accelerating and its current size is not much larger than the angular resolution of Earth-based telescopes, it is not easy to avoid fictitious elongation of the image as a result of the object's motion."

The Crew-11 mission, under the command of Zena Cardman, launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, aiming for a stay of six to eight months on the ISS.

The Habitable Worlds Observatory is a proposed flagship NASA mission that aims to discover inhabited planets beyond our Solar System, similar to the contributions made by the Hubble or JWST.
