HiRISE Image of Exocomet 3I/ATLAS!
On 2 October 2025, MRO turned away from Mars to image 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar object ever observed passing through our solar system!

Whoa, this looks so cool!
These are shells of dust coming off a pair of tightly bound stars, newly imaged by #JWST.
There is such beauty in the universe.

An incredible sight of the first New Glenn booster to successfully land! Named ‘Never Tell Me the Odds,’ it returns to Port Canaveral aboard the barge Jacklyn after a five-day journey.

What a phenomenal launch. Gorgeous views, booster successfully landed for the first time, and EscaPADE safely deployed! Once the GS1 is fully secured, it will take LPV1 "Jacklyn" about 4 days to return to Port. Meanwhile EscaPADE will head to L2, which will take a couple of weeks.

LANDED IT! That was crazy! Looked like it was going to miss, but slid back into the target and pretty much hovered to the deck and nailed it!

Just over an hour until the scheduled launch for ESCAPADE. New Glenn is fueled and so far it’s a greenboard here at Cape Canaveral.
Liftoff is scheduled for 2:57 PM EST

HiRISE 3D: Double Impact Crater!
Glacier fill in two craters now separated, but looks like the flow went north at some point, and there is a suprising lack of erosion in some areas of the rim.

50 years ago today, #OTD in Weather History, on November 10, 1975, the Great Lake ore freighter SS EDMUND FITZGERALD was lost with all hands in a severe storm on Lake Superior.
So it is time for the annual reupping of my thread on her loss.

🚨Three Chinese astronauts couldn’t return to Earth after space junk hit their spacecraft. Scientists warn this could be just the first of more accidents caused by orbital debris.
The situation is concerning. “There are a lot of people up there,” one source told me.

A Piece of Space Junk Hit Their Ride Home. What Does This Mean for Space Exploration?
Three Chinese astronauts will likely return safely to Earth after a reported space-junk strike. But the incident highlights the growing risk of orbital debris

Pretty unbelievable that after directly outlining a plan that in no uncertain terms wants to destroy NASA science that Isaacman got renominated today.
Actually knowing how the Trump administration has treated science elsewhere its fully believable.
