Iran is smart and strategic and all over the world. Iran isn’t an irrational actor, but they have the pride of a 5,000 year old culture. I fear they are going to hit back in a way to remind America that they are a real and independent country.

I hope I’m wrong. 2/

NASA Spacecraft Captures Comet Exploding

Apr 07, 2026 at 07:45 AM EDT

A large comet has exploded as a result of thermal pressure while passing through the sun's atmosphere, images taken by a NASA spacecraft have revealed.

Comet MAPS, also known as C/2026 A1, was seen flying towards the sun on April 4by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO)an international project between the ESA and NASA that has been ongoing for more than 30 years.

SOHO takes images of the space around the sun using a "coronagraph," a specialized telescope attachment that blocks out the light coming directly from the sun—essentially creating an artificial eclipse.

In the stunning new footage, Comet MAPS is seen flying into the sun's atmosphere on a course taking it to within just 99,000 miles of the star's surface.

While the comet entered the blind spot in the center of the coronagraph intact, only a shower of debris can be seen coming out from the other side.

The footage also shows a sudden brightening, which may have been the comet's nucleus exploding due to the thermal stress, before the emergence of the dust cloud.

The dust cloud is structured into a spray of narrow bands called "striae"—a common feature that results from high levels of material release from comets.

Comet MAPS was only discovered in January of this year, and while it was too far to confirm its size, experts believed it may have been big enough to eventually be seen in broad daylight.

According to Forbes, experts had believed that the comet might pass within 500,000 miles from the sun's surface, and emerge with a bright shining tail visible from earth.

However, later observations revealed it was in fact smaller than initially though, making it more at risk of being destroyed in its close pass to the sun, and that it was travelling closer to the sun's than initial estimates had predicted.

Some comets that pass this close to the sun become dramatically brighter and visible to the naked eye, however this wasn't the case for MAPS.

There is hope, however, that Comet PanSTARRS, also known as Comet C/2025 R3, could achieve this.

The long-period comet is expected to peak in late April, around 46 million miles from the sun, and will make its closest approach to Earth on April 27 when it will be at its brightest.

It is unclear yet whether Comet PanSTARRS will be visible only via binoculars, or whether stargazers will be able to see the comet unaided in the night sky.

Artemis II Flight Day 6: Crew Wraps Historic Lunar Flyby

April 6, 2026 11:46PM

The Artemis II mission wrapped up a historic seven-hour lunar flyby, marking humanity’s first return to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972 and capturing images of the lunar far side.

After the lunar observation period concluded, the Artemis II crew was congratulated by President Donald J. Trump, in a live conversation that aired as part of NASA’s continuing live coverage of the mission.

They also spoke with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and answered questions from social media.

The momentous day began at 1:56 p.m. EDT as NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, set the record for the farthest distance from Earth traveled by any human, surpassing Apollo 13’s distance of 248,655 miles.

During a planned 40-minute loss of signal as Orion passed behind the Moon, the spacecraft and its crew made their closest approach at 7:00 p.m., flying at about 4,067 miles above the surface.

Two minutes later, the crew reached the mission’s maximum distance from Earth at 252,756 miles, setting a new record for human spaceflight.

As they flew over the Moon’s far side, the crew photographed and described terrain features including impact craters, ancient lava flows, and surface cracks and ridges formed as the Moon slowly evolved over time.

They also noted differences in color, brightness and texture, which provide clues that help scientists understand the composition and history of the lunar surface.

The crew witnessed an “Earthset” — the moment Earth dropped below the lunar horizon — as Orion traveled behind the Moon and an “Earthrise” as the spacecraft emerged from the opposite edge of the Moon.

As the lunar observation period ended, the crew witnessed a nearly hour-long solar eclipse as the spacecraft, the Moon and the Sun aligned.

With a view of a mostly darkened Moon, the crew analyzed the solar corona — the Sun’s outermost atmosphere — as it appeared around the Moon’s edge.

During the eclipse, the crew had an opportunity to look for some rarely seen phenomena that are only visible on an unlit portion of the Moon.

They reported six light flashes created by meteoroids impacting the lunar surface while traveling many thousands of miles per hour.

Scientists already are looking forward to the images, along with the many others taken during the flyby.

After the lunar data is downlinked from the spacecraft overnight, scientists will look at images, audio, and other data to determine better times and locations of the flashes and seek input from amateurs who were observing the Moon at the same time.

The crew will discuss their observations with the lunar science team on Tuesday, April 7, in a conversation that will broadcast in NASA’s live coverage.

Iran Guards say response could go beyond region

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned on Tuesday their response to the United States could extend beyond the region andtarget energy infrastructure, sayingprevious restraint had ended.

“From now on, all these considerations have been lifted,” the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement.

It said it wouldact against US and partner infrastructurein a way that would deprive them of the region’s oil and gas resources for years.

Regional partners of the United States should knowIran had “exercised restraint due to good neighborly relations”, it said, but that those considerations no longer applied. (if their behavior is/was restrained and neighborly, I’d hate to see them, really insane and evil!)

The Guards added that if US forces crossed what it calledred lines, “our response will go beyond the region.”

(I’m pretty sure the Iranians know what Trump’s response or responses, may be. But Trump is unpredictable so the “Bullies of Tehran” might get their own warnings or surprise. Typical the “cult of Islam” released this on the day that the peace agreement was to be done. Purposeful, but it won’t work.)

Crew Kicks Off Week Prepping for Cygnus Cargo Mission

April 6, 2026 6:49PM

The Expedition 74 crew continues preparing for the next U.S. cargo mission due to visit the International Space Station.

The orbital residents also serviced spacesuits, configured scientific hardware, and studied how microgravity affects blood pressure at the beginning of the week.

NASA Flight Engineers Chris Williams and Jack Hathaway joined each other in the cupola on Monday and practiced maneuvering the Canadarm2 robotic arm to capture the Cygnus XL when it arrives to the space station.

After the cargo spacecraft’s capture, ground controllers will remotely command Canadarm2 to install Cygnus XL on the Unity module’s Earth-facing port.

Cygnus will be delivering advanced microgravity research gear to study quantum computing technology, test stem cell therapies, promote astronaut health, and more.

Earlier in the day, Williams and Hathway, along with NASA flight engineer Jessica Meir, worked on spacesuit maintenance.

Hathway and Meir took turns cleaning and flushing the suit’s water-cooling loops that regulate an astronaut’s body temperature in the extreme environment of space.

Williams swapped a pair of lithium-ion batteries that power spacesuits inside the Quest airlock’s battery stowage compartment to maintain optimum battery performance.

Meir began her shift powering up and replacing filters on the KERMIT fluorescence microscope, that supports biological, physical, and material science research in microgravity, inside the Destiny laboratory module.

Next, she set up a physics experiment that studies how particles attach to droplets and rearrange in microgravity that used KERMIT to image the phenomena. Results may lead to improved engineering designs for additive manufacturing and optical materials.

Flight engineer Sophie Adenot of ESA (European Space Agency) kicked off her shift inside the Kibo laboratory module powering down the TUSK technology demonstration, a small experimental robotic arm being tested for precise, sub-millimeter manipulation in weightlessness.

Afterward, Adenot cleaned portions of Kibo’s ventilation system then tested emergency communications with mission controllers from around the world.

Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev, station commander and flight engineer respectively, took turns wearing a series of arm, wrist, and finger cuffs measuring their blood pressure for an ongoing cardiovascular study.

Afterward, Kud-Sverchkov inspected spacecraft docking hardware while Mikaev worked on communications and electronics maintenance.

Roscosmos flight engineer Andrey Fedyaev practiced European robotic arm maneuvers using computer simulation software at the start of his shift on Monday.

Fedyaev then moved on to a study using artificial intelligence tools to improve crew operations and communications. Finally, he adjusted the lens setting on Earth observation hardware for a visibility test.

Ed Buckbee, tapped by Wernher Von Braun to lead Huntsville’s Space and Rocket Center, dies at 89

Updated: Apr. 06, 2026, 5:26 p.m.|Published: Apr. 06, 2026, 3:41 p.m.

The U.S. Space & Rocket Center’s first director, Edward “Ed” Buckbee, has died. He was 89.

Space pioneer Wernher Von Braun selected Buckbee to be the center’s first director in 1970.

Hailed as a visionary, he assembled and managed the world’s largest space and rocket exhibition and founded the highly successful U.S. Space Camp and Aviation Challenge programs, according to his biography with the U.S. Space & Rocket Center Foundation.

“We are saddened by the passing of Edward O. Buckbee, founding Executive Director of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center,” the Space & Rocket Center said in a statement.

“In his 23-year tenure at the Rocket Center, he accomplished many things but perhaps none greater than opening Space Camp in 1982. The future engineers, scientists, and astronauts Space Camp inspires are his enduring legacy.

“Auspiciously, today Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch, a five-time Space Camp alumna, becomes the first woman to orbit the moon,” the statement added.

Retiring from the U.S. Space & Rocker Center in 1994, Buckbee continued to work as an advisor and consultant to NASA.

He produced and hosted numerous space anniversary events, acknowledging famous firsts in human space flight, honoring astronaut John Glenn and moon walkers Alan Shepard, Alan Bean and Gene Cernan.

He organized and hosted the 30th anniversary celebration of the astronauts who flew on America’s first space station, Skylab.

Buckbee served on the Space & Rocket Center and was an author, lecturer, space expert and director emeritus.

Buckbee began his NASA career in 1959 when America’s first Mercury astronauts were selected. He attended the launches of Alan Shepard and John Glenn and was present when the Apollo astronauts lifted-off for the moon landings.

NASA’s Northrop Grumman CRS-24 Mission Overview

Apr 06, 2026

NASA’s Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 24 mission, or Northrop Grumman CRS-24, will deliver approximately 11,000 pounds of science and supplies to the International Space Station.

This mission will be the second flight of the Cygnus XL, the larger, more cargo-capable version of the company’s solar-powered spacecraft.

The Cygnus XL will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Following arrival, astronauts aboard the space station will use the Canadarm2 to grapple Cygnus XL before robotically installing the spacecraft to the Unity module’s Earth-facing port for cargo unloading.

Science Highlights

Along with supplies and equipment for the crew, Cygnus XL will deliver a range of scientific investigations to the International Space Station that helps to advance knowledge and technology in support of the Artemis program.

This research includes:

A new module for the Cold Atom Lab to expand its research capabilities and improve our understanding of general relativity, planetary composition, and dark matter. The Cold Atom Lab advances quantum research to improve technologies, such as solar cells, MRI scanners, and components that power phones and computers.

An investigation (InSPA-StemCellEX-H2) studying blood stem cell production in microgravity to create a larger number of therapeutic cells. Successful stem cell production could advance healthcare on Earth for patients with certain blood diseases and cancers.

An investigation (Nanoracks-ITSI) that measures how radio signals sent from Earth change as they pass through the upper atmosphere. These measurements could improve models that predict the impacts of solar activity and space weather, which can disrupt technologies like GPS navigation and radar tracking systems.

A study (CBIOMES) of how spaceflight impacts the relationship between organisms and their gut microbiome. Researchers will observe changes in roundworms down to the cellular level to identify ways to maintain microbiome stability and help protect astronaut health on future Moon and Mars missions.

Joby and Air Space Intelligence Partner to Prepare U.S. Airspace for Scaled Electric Flight

April 7 2026

Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY), a company developing all-electric aircraft for commercial passenger service, and Air Space Intelligence (ASI), a leading U.S.-based aerospace and defense software company, today announced a partnership to accelerate the integration of advanced air mobility (AAM) into the U.S. National Airspace System.

Building on ASI’s Flyways AI Platform – an open AI-powered airspace intelligence platform that uses high-fidelity 4D modeling to optimize flight operations – Joby and ASI plan to work together to advance how scaled eVTOL operations can be safely integrated into dynamic, increasingly complex and high-traffic airspace. Joint demonstrations, including live operational exercises, are expected later this year.

With the FAA’s Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) set to form the foundation for the next generation of air traffic management, the partnership will also explore how more automated, software-defined approaches to airspace coordination can enable increasingly autonomous flight operations.

"America has long set the global standard for aviation, and modernizing our airspace is key to maintaining that leadership," said Greg Bowles, Chief Policy Officer, Joby Aviation.

"By combining Joby's operational capabilities with ASI's advanced AI-driven Flyways platform, we're helping build the intelligent infrastructure needed to integrate electric air taxis seamlessly into the NAS — one of America's most important national assets."

"Scaling advanced air mobility requires more than new aircraft — it requires a new operating system for the airspace," said Bernard Asare, President, Civil Aviation, Air Space Intelligence.

"Our Flyways AI platform gives operators and controllers the predictive awareness to coordinate high-density operations proactively, not reactively. This partnership brings that same capability to eVTOL operations from day one.”

Together, the companies will leverage Joby's operational experience and aircraft capabilities alongside ASI's AI-driven airspace intelligence to develop joint solutions that demonstrate how eVTOL operations can scale safely within the existing airspace framework.

Initial results from the partnership's live operational exercises are expected by the end of 2026.

Last month, Joby completed a series of piloted demonstration flights across the San Francisco Bay Area, showcasing the company's operational readiness.

Joby was also recently selected as a partner in multiple winning applications under the White House-backed eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).

Through the program, Joby has the opportunity to begin early operations this year in 12 states, marking a major milestone for the U.S. air taxi industry and potentially accelerating Joby's path to commercial service.

ASI is leading operational transformation and delivering mission-critical decision-making systems to aviation, defense, logistics, and energy organizations operating in dynamic, complex environments.

The partnership with Joby extends ASI's proven airspace intelligence capabilities to the emerging eVTOL sector, helping ensure that as electric flight operations grow, the airspace system is ready to support them safely and efficiently.

Planet Successfully Runs AI in Space

Apr 7, 2026 9:04 AM Eastern Daylight Time

SAN FRANCISCO(BUSINESS WIRE)Following the announcement of a strategic initiative with NVIDIA, Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) announced a landmark technical achievement:

the successful deployment and execution of AI-driven object detection directly onboard its Pelican-4 satellite, paving the way toward on-orbit compute for rapid insights, a capability Planet calls Planetary Intelligence.

On March 25th, 500km over Alice Springs, Australia, Planet’s Pelican-4 captured an image of an airport, then successfully utilized its onboard NVIDIA Jetson Orin module to run an AI model to detect airplanes in moments.

This represents one of the first times an Earth imaging satellite has moved beyond simple data capture to onboard AI inference and analysis.

“This success is a glimpse into the future of what we call Planetary Intelligence at scale," said Kiruthika Devaraj, VP of Avionics & Spacecraft Technology.

"By running AI at the edge on the NVIDIA Jetson platform, we can help reduce the time between 'seeing' a change on Earth and a customer 'acting' on it, while simultaneously minimizing downlink latency and cost.

This shift toward integrated AI at the edge is a technological leap that can help differentiate solutions like Planet’s Global Monitoring Service (GMS), providing valuable insights for our customers and enabling rapid response times when it matters most."

“This step with NVIDIA can help speed the pace of insight, reducing the time to potential answers from hours to minutes. This can be the critical difference-maker for our customers from disaster response to security and beyond,” said Will Marshall, Planet CEO and Co-Founder.

“Bigger picture: this is an exciting milestone towards delivering Planetary Intelligence. We’re moving AI from the internet into the physical realm, effectively connecting the ‘eyes’ of our satellites with an onboard ‘brain’ to create a nervous system for the planet.”

This breakthrough can help progress Planet’s Pelican and forthcoming Owl constellations into a near-real-time intelligence network. Leveraging NVIDIA Jetson and high-speed inter-satellite links, Planet is working to effectively close the latency gap.

Rather than waiting for data to download and then be analyzed on the ground, customers could receive actionable insights within minutes of capture. The end-to-end process, spanning initial data generation, deep-net object detection, and full geo-rectification, is designed to occur entirely in orbit.

By producing GeoTIFF and GeoJSON insights within isolated Docker containers in space, Planet is striving to be able to generate intelligence about events in minutes.

While the onboard models are in their early stages and will continue to be refined, the successful integration of AI applications in space paves the way for a new era of flexibility for satellite constellations.

By placing this compute power on the satellite itself, Planet aims to unlock the future of Earth intelligence at a planetary scale with near real-time insights.

Doubling ESA’s deep space capabilities at New Norcia with deep space antenna 4

07/04/2026

ESA’s newest deep space antenna – DSA 4, also known as New Norcia 3 or NNO-3 – officially entered nominal operations on 1 April 2026.

The 35 m dish, located at the New Norcia site in Western Australia, is ESA’s third deep space antenna in the southern hemisphere and the second at the New Norcia site.

This new addition represents a major leap forward in ESA’s ability to stay connected with spacecraft venturing into increasingly distant regions of deep space.

DSA 4 features the ability to downlink in X‑, K- and Ka‑band and uplink in X-band as well as K-band in the future. It is also equipped with cutting‑edge technologies, including cryogenically cooled receivers operating at −263°C.

By cooling the link between the physical antenna and the receiver to near absolute zero, background interference, or “noise,” can be dramatically reduced, improving the antenna’s ability to detect signals weaker than a whisper from billions of kilometres away.

DSA 4 is also equipped with a 20 kW radio transmitter, which is comparable to the power a small car uses while accelerating onto a motorway.

Radio waves weaken as they travel – much like ripples spreading out on a pond – so signals sent to distant spacecraft often become extremely faint.

Thanks to its powerful transmitter, DSA 4 can send commands that remain strong and easy for spacecraft to detect even from across the Solar System.

DSA 4 is the newest member of ESA’s Estrack network, a global system of ground stations that link satellites in orbit with the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC), ESA’s mission control hub.

Expanding ESA’s global Estrack network

ESA ground stations provide the communication lifeline to missions across the Solar System: essential telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) services that keep spacecraft safely connected to Earth.

They receive telemetry, the continuous stream of health, status and scientific data sent down by a spacecraft; perform tracking by precisely measuring a spacecraft’s distance, velocity and position using radio signals; and transmit commands that control onboard systems, adjust trajectories, or update mission configurations.

With DSA 4, the network now includes four 35 m deep space antennas and three near‑Earth stations as part of its core infrastructure. DSA 4 complements Estrack’s existing 35 m dishes in:

New Norcia, Australia (DSA 1)

Cebreros, Spain (DSA 2)

Malargüe, Argentina (DSA 3)

These two coins were made 1900 years apart

https://x.com/Rainmaker1973/status/2041535809145147623

The 72 AD coin shows Roman Emperor Vespasian (r. 69–79 AD) on the obverse—founder of the Flavian dynasty, who stabilized Rome after civil war and began the Colosseum. Reverse: eagle.

The 1972 coin is a U.S. quarter with George Washington (first U.S. President, 1789–1797) on the obverse. Reverse: eagle.

Both echo the classic ruler-profile + eagle motif, 1,900 years apart.
