An image shows the B-1 and B-2 test stands at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, on July 7, 2026. The test stand features dual, vertical firing positions built in the 1960s to test Saturn V rocket stages that carried humans to the Moon during the Apollo Program. The B-1 position, right, is equipped for single engine tests, while the B-2 position is designed to test full rocket stages. NASA announced an agreement with Blue Origin on July 24, 2026, to use the B-2 test stand for engine testing to advance rocket development for future missions to the Moon under the Artemis program.

Gaia sees stellar nurseries (animation still 2): This is a still image of the animation showing Gaia's star-formation map in 3D.: In this animation we fly around the star-formation map in our Milky Way galaxy. The areas that are mapped reach out to 4000 light-years from our Sun. They are shown as reddish clouds. This map will teach us more about these obscure cloudy areas, and the hot young stars that shape them. Credit: ESA/Gaia/DPAC, S. Payne-Wardenaar, L. McCallum et al (2025)
