Spanning more than 600 light-years, the panorama reveals details within the dense swirls of gas and dust, opening the door to future research into how massive stars are forming and what’s feeding the black hole at our galaxy’s core.

Rare sight of Launching the rocket
On Wednesday, November 16, NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket will launch the agency's Artemis I flight test from Launch Complex 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. At 1:47 a.m. ET, the Moon rocket and spacecraft launched. The agency's deep space exploration systems, including the Orion spacecraft, the Space Launch System rocket, and auxiliary ground systems, will undergo their first comprehensive test with the Artemis I mission. It is the first of several progressively difficult trips to the Moon. NASA's Artemis missions will send the first woman and person of color to the Moon, allowing for the most thorough exploration of the lunar surface ever.
