Latest Space Breaking News: The chaotic 'Dracula's Chivito': Hubble reveals largest birthplace of planets ever observed Link: https://phys.org/news/2025-12-chaotic-dracula-chivito-hubble-reveals.html Summary: Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have imaged the largest protoplanetary disk ever observed circling a young star. For the first time in visible light, Hubble has revealed the disk is unexpectedly chaotic and turbulent, with wisps of material stretching much farther above and below the disk than astronomers have seen in any similar system. Strangely, more extended filaments are only visible on one side of the disk.
๐Ÿš€ **Upcoming Space Launch** ๐Ÿš€ ๐ŸŒŒ **Mission Name**: Soyuz 2.1a | Obzor-R No.1 ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ **Launch Date**: 2025-12-24T14:00:00Z ๐Ÿš€ **Rocket**: Soyuz 2.1a ๐Ÿ“– **Details**: The Russian Obzor-R satellite is a planned X-band radar earth observation satellite designed by TsSKB-Progress. In 2012, the development of the Arkon-2M radar satellite was stopped and instead the development of the Obzor-R was initiated. The satellite features the BRLK X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar as the imaging instrument with a ground resolution of 500 m. #SpaceLaunch #RocketScience
๐Ÿš€ **Upcoming Space Launch** ๐Ÿš€ ๐ŸŒŒ **Mission Name**: LVM-3 | BlueBird Block 2 #1 ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ **Launch Date**: 2025-12-24T03:24:00Z ๐Ÿš€ **Rocket**: LVM-3 (GSLV Mk III) ๐Ÿ“– **Details**: AST SpaceMobileโ€™s Block 2 BlueBird satellites are designed to deliver up to 10 times the bandwidth capacity of the BlueBird Block 1 satellites, required to achieve 24/7 continuous cellular broadband service coverage in the United States, with beams designed to support a capacity of up to 40 MHz, enabling peak data transmission speeds up to 120 Mbps, supporting voice, full data and video applications. The Block 2 BlueBirds, featuring as large as 2400 square foot communications arrays, will be the largest satellites ever commercially deployed in Low Earth orbit once launched. This launch will feature a single satellite. #SpaceLaunch #RocketScience
๐Ÿš€ **Upcoming Space Launch** ๐Ÿš€ ๐ŸŒŒ **Mission Name**: Long March 12A | Demo Flight ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ **Launch Date**: 2025-12-23T02:00:00Z ๐Ÿš€ **Rocket**: Long March 12A ๐Ÿ“– **Details**: First test launch of CASC/SASTโ€™s Long March 12A rocket, with a dummy payload. The rocketโ€™s 1st stage attempted to land on a landing pad about 300 km downrange of the launch site. #SpaceLaunch #RocketScience
๐Ÿš€ **Upcoming Space Launch** ๐Ÿš€ ๐ŸŒŒ **Mission Name**: HANBIT-Nano | Spaceward ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ **Launch Date**: 2025-12-23T01:13:00Z ๐Ÿš€ **Rocket**: HANBIT-Nano ๐Ÿ“– **Details**: Maiden orbital launch attempt for the South Korean stratup Innospace and its HANBIT-Nano small launch vehicle. Onboard this flight are five small satellites from the Brazilian space agency AEB, Brazilian university Universidade Federal do Maranhรฃo and Indian startup Grahaa Space, as well as three payloads from AEB and Brazilian company Castro Leite Consultoria that will remain attached to the rocket, and an empty aluminium can from the South Korean beverage company Brewguru. #SpaceLaunch #RocketScience
