SpaceX poised for second launch of mega Starship rocket
Starbase, United States (AFP) Nov 18, 2023
SpaceX is poised Saturday for the second test launch of Starship, the largest rocket ever built that Elon Musk hopes will one day colonize Mars, while NASA awaits a modified version to land humans on the Moon.
It comes after a first attempt to fly the spaceship in its fully-stacked configuration back in April ended in a spectacular explosion over the Gulf of Mexico.

NASA's Deep Space Optical Comm demo sends, receives first data
DSOC, an experiment that could transform how spacecraft communicate, has achieved "first light," sending data via laser to and from far beyond the moon for the first time.
NASA's Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment has beamed a near-infrared laser encoded with test data from nearly 10 million miles (16 million kilometers) away—about 40 times farther than the moon is from Earth—to the Hale Telescope at Caltech's Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California.

Brightest flash ever disturbed Earth's atmosphere last year
Paris (AFP) Nov 14, 2023
Last year the brightest flash of light ever seen in the night sky disturbed Earth's upper atmosphere in a way that has never before detected before, researchers said on Tuesday.
A massive burst of gamma rays from an enormous cosmic explosion around two billion light years away arrived at Earth on October 9, 2022, lighting up telescopes around the world.
Quickly nicknamed the "BOAT" - f
