SpaceX Will Return Stranded Astronauts Next Year

Handout file photo dated June 27, 2024 NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore prepare orbital plumbing hardware for installation inside the International Space Station’s bathroom, also known as the waste and hygiene compartment, located in the Tranquility module. Two Nasa astronauts who have been stuck in space for over two months will return to Earth in February 2025 with SpaceX. Nasa said the Boeing Starliner spacecraft the astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore had travelled to International Space Station (ISS) on would return to Earth "un-crewed". The pair took off on what was planned to be an eight-day mission on 5 June but will now spend around eight months in orbit. Photo by NASA via ABACAPRESS.COM

Cave On The Moon Could Be A Future Base

Hand out photo shows the Mare Tranquillitatis pit as seen by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Radar data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter have revealed what they think may be the deepest known cave on the moon, with a "skylight" entrance 330 feet (100 meters) wide. The cave, which could potentially be a location for a future moon base, is in Mare Tranquillitatis—Latin for Sea of Tranquility—close to the landing spot of Apollo 11, the first mission to land people on the moon 55 years ago this week. Researchers at the University of Trento in Italy have revealed more about Mare Tranquillitatis Pit in a paper published on Monday July 15, 2024 in Nature Astronomy. It is one of about 200 on the moon. A pit is an opening on the lunar surface that could be an entrance to a cave or lava tube. The latter forms when underground rivers of lava empty out. Pits are believed to form when parts of a lava tube's ceiling collapse, and those that directly expose the interior are called skylights. About 16 of the 200
