In a recent astronomical breakthrough, astronomers have identified two new exoplanets, one rocky and one puffy, orbiting distant stars. The first exoplanet, SPECULOOS-3b, is approximately the size of Earth and circles a small ultracool dwarf star located 55 light-years away. Meanwhile, the second exoplanet, WASP-193b, is a large yet unusually lightweight planet orbiting a Sun-like star roughly 1,200 light-years away. WASP

Port and factory expansions are underway on Florida’s Space Coast to accommodate the increase in spaceflight activity. The developments include the construction of new launch pads, upgrades to processing facilities, and expansions to factories and Port Canaveral. These upgrades are necessary to support the upcoming generation of reusable rocket stages, such as SpaceX’s Starship and Blue Origin’s New Glenn. Recent flyovers have provided insight into the progress of these upgrades, with SpaceX and Blue Origin both making significant strides in their respective projects. Other
