Space Exploration megathread
Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

Mountain will block my view looking north. May drive out tomorrow for another shot. Maybe climb S. Mountain but it sucks coming down at night.
Good info. I hope the tail is still as visible when it comes up at night.

I think it will be getting higher each night for a few nights, but it'll also get dimmer. Good luck!

Got it. Visible right now. At the 5 o'clock from the big dipper. You can see it with the naked eye but a much better view with binocs. Will fire up the telescope from now on.

This is as cheesy as you'd expect from NASA, but here's a little about the next Mars rover set to launch soon.

So, Perseverance is going to have a small helicopter drone inside that will fly out and scout the terrain? That's pretty amazing. It's crazy how far technologically we've come since the first time we landed a rover on Mars. I love it.

Yeah, that was the big news to me. That could be a really useful tool.

Here's a super cool shot. (click for the full version - you can't see the comet in the small version)



Launch coming up here in a few hours.
