After a successful and eventful adventure landing on a comet, no more signals will be received from the Rosetta mission’s comet lander, Philae.

Send your goodbyes to Philae

2. Target Shooting

Using new software our very own Mars rover Curiosity can even choose its own rock targets for its laser spectrometer.

Find out how Curiosity selects its own targets

3. Flares for the Dramatic

Our sun recently emitted three mid-size solar flares, and the Solar Dynamics Observatory captured it all.

Watch the Show!

4. Bring the Heat

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot may be the mysterious heat source behind the planet’s surprisingly high upper atmospheric temperatures. When Juno begins its science orbits, the Great Red Spot will be among its top targets.

5. Cut and Dried

The gullies on today’s Red Planet were not cut by flowing liquid water, as previously thought, but rather by processes such as the freeze and thaw of carbon dioxide frost. New findings using data from our Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter provide a new picture of the cause,

But then again, he shouldn’t really be surprised – it’s practically par for the course for a station held together with paperclips and paste (and the Cardassians had thoughtfully yanked out most of the paperclips when they’d pulled out of the sector). This never happened on the Enterprise, he grouses to himself, which he’s been doing roughly once an hour since he arrived on the station.

You didn’t have to accept the posting, says Keiko’s reasonable voice in his mind as he douses the flames with coolant. Orders are orders, he thinks at her, and his mental Keiko gives him that long-suffering look, the one that scrunches up her mouth and makes him want to kiss her.

There is probably at least one more fire between himself and the end of his shift (does the shift really end if he’s the Chief and the engineering staff can call him 26 hours a day?), but he finds he can put up with quite a lot if Keiko’s smiling face is waiting for him at the end.
