Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin will build a 'super heavy' version of its powerful New Glenn rocket -
Blue Origin plans to build an even more powerful version of its partially reusable New Glenn rocket, which aced its second-ever launch just last week.United States
"The surge in megasatellite constellations is creating problems beyond amplifying the Earth-circling space debris, according to new research. Reentering spacecraft and rocket stages may also be damaging Earth’s atmosphere. 'Space waste,' spacecraft reentering the atmosphere, injects a considerable amount of its matter into the mesosphere and lower #thermosphere — enough to potentially weaken the Earth’s #ozone layer."

For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a star’s explosion at its earliest stage.
The feat was achieved by ESO's Very Large Telescope just a day after the detection of this supernova, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.
This brief initial phase wouldn’t have been observable a day later. This will help shed light on how massive stars go supernova.

Unique shape of star’s explosion revealed just a day after detection
Swift observations with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) have revealed the explosive death of a star just as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.www.eso.org
To say we're getting an overwhelming aurora display in Montana tonight is an understatement. I'm just trying to keep up with the dozens of photos and videos from all of our great Q2 viewers... thank you everyone! (2/3)

G4 (Severe) Watch in Effect for 12 November
published: Tuesday, November 11, 2025 17:21 UTC
Geomagnetic Storm Watches in Effect, to include G4 (Severe) potential for 12 November. The current list of Watches include: 11 Nov G2 (Moderate); 12 Nov G4 (Severe); and 13 Nov G3 (Strong). These Watches are in response to potential geomagnetic storm effects related to coronal mass ejections (CME) that have erupted from the Sun over the past several days. These events include CME activity from 9 November through the early morning of 12 November. The most recent CME occurred early on 12 Nov and is the most energetic and fastest of the CMEs. This CME was associated with an X5.1 solar flare (R3; Strong) that peaked at 1004 UTC (5:04 am EST) on 11 Nov. This CME is also associated with a moderate level solar radiation storm (S2) that is currently in progress. The forecast is tough due to this latest CME’s predominant ejecta aimed north and ahead of Earth’s orbit; additionally the previous CMEs are in the mix and anticipated to have some Earth-arrival influences prior to the 12 Nov CME arrival. Confidence in an Earth-component to the most recent CME is high, while timing has a moderate level of certainty. As always with these events, the intensity of the CME will not be know with better certainty until it arrives 1 million miles from Earth and is observed by the solar wind observatories at that location. It is at that point [...]](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/5284855 "NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center SWPC image caption:

A dance of two pairs!
While the two Magellanic Clouds shine upon the Atacama Desert in #Chile, two Auxiliary Telescopes of ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer point up to the sky.
Just like our cosmic neighbours move around the Milky Way, the Auxiliary Telescopes can be moved along rails and arranged in different configurations when observing the sky.

This is what the band of the Milky Way would look like at night if your eyes could see radio waves. A hidden beauty.
It's a new image created by the Murchison Widefield Array, which scanned the sky in 20 radio "colors" over frequencies from 72 to 231 megahertz.
