New satellite data from the European Space Agency (ESA) reveal that the mysterious anomaly weakening Earth's magnetic field continues to evolve, with the most recent observations showing we could soon be dealing with more than one of these strange
Update: Launch aborted due to violation of weather constraints.
Next launch attempt will be on Saturday 30th May at 19:22 UTC

Later today SpaceX will launch the second demonstration mission of its Crew Dragon vehicle as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Transportation Capability Program (CCtCap), carrying NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the International Space Station.
This mission will be the first crewed flight to launch from the United States since the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011.
DM-2 demonstrates the Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon's ability to safely transport crew to and from the space station. The booster for this mission will land on OCISLY.
The mission will be complete with the safe return the Dragon capsule and astronauts.

A video made up of 500 photos captured over a period of 3 months of the spiral galaxy M61 showing an exploding star (Supernova 2020jfo) 50 million light years away.
This is a Type II supernova. The massive star depleted its nuclear fuel. As it exhausted light elements like hydrogen and helium, it began fusing heavier and heavier elements, eventually reaching iron. At this point, it could no longer support itself with outward pressure against the tremendous gravity.
This type of supernova starts with an implosion and an almost immediate reversal to a massive explosion which, as you can see here, can literally outshine an entire galaxy. Though this process, it seeds the building blocks for a new generation.
The video ends with a quick stack of all the data with minimal processing applied, revealing the faint details of this beautiful galaxy.
