The story connects machine learning, DESI, and Euclid to the future of precision cosmology. Psyche turns Mars flyby cinematic - NASA's Psyche mission has released a striking time-lapse of its Mars gravity assist, turning a critical navigation maneuver into a compelling outreach moment. The update highlights both spacecraft health and the long journey toward the metal-rich asteroid Psyche. Nebulae and galaxies steal spotlight - Fresh astronomy highlights range from the star-forming Statue of Liberty Nebula, NGC 3576, to James Webb's view of a galaxy shaped by collision. Together they showcase how modern observatories reveal stellar birth and galactic transformation. Launch cadence meets operational reality - A scrubbed Falcon 9 Starlink launch, the upcoming MRV-MEP mission, and Starship's next test flight underline the fast pace and complexity of modern launch operations. These updates show how routine scheduling, safety systems, and experimental hardware now coexist on the same calendar. Data tools reveal hidden structures - From a possible impact crater spotted on Google Earth to a record-breaking reconstruction of a galaxy cluster's magnetic field…
