We'll start with the remarkable discovery of early morning frost on the peaks of Mars' giant dormant volcanoes, captured by the European Space Agency's Trace Gas Orbiter. This finding could have a profound impact on our understanding of water distribution on the red planet and its implications for future human exploration. Next, we'll turn our attention to the International Space Station, where NASA and Boeing are making significant strides with the Starliner spacecraft. We'll cover the latest tests and what they mean for the future of crewed missions. We'll also explore the stunning observations made during a recent major solar storm that illuminated Mars, offering critical data on the radiation future astronauts might face. Additionally, the James Webb Space Telescope has captured a massive asteroid collision in the Beta Pictoris star system, shedding light on the chaotic process of planet formation.
