What exactly is that large star next to the moon? Is it Mars or just a large star like Sirius, etc?? Someone must know here.

I'd guess it's too big in relation to the moon to be a planet I'm gutted we have cloud cover |

Set your controls for the heart of the sun. The Delta IV heavy rocket carrying the Parker Solar Probe just successfully blasted off from Cape Canaveral. During it's mission to orbit and study the Sun, the probe will travel closer to oiur parent star than any man made object has ever been, actually passing through the outer edges of the suns coronal field at ~4million miles, the spacecraft is also expected to become the fastest travelling man made object ever, as it will be accelerated to immense speeds by the huge gravitational forces of the most massive object in the solar system, the sun itself. |

''The spacecraft trajectory will include seven Venus flybys over nearly seven years to gradually shrink its elliptical orbit around the Sun, for a total of 24 orbits. The science phase will take place during those 7 years, focusing on the periods when the spacecraft is closest to the Sun.'' Interesting.. |

Did anyone see the story last week about an astronaut having to use his finger to plug a hole in the ISS's Soyuz capsule, apparently caused by a tiny meteor or piece of space junk impact? Well that story just took an unexpected and potentially extremely worrying twist, it now appears that the hole may not actually have been made by an outside object hitting the ISS at all but could have been made deliberately, with a power drill!!! Did someone try to sabotage the ISS? http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-45423225 |
