In a Relatively Short Time, It Might Be Possible To Transform An Asteroid Into A Space Station.
It would not be simple to construct a big space station where hundreds of thousands or even more people could live. Even after construction, the inhabitants would face two serious health problems: the effects of the low gravity on their bodies, and a great number of cosmic radiation. A daring solution to these issues is offered in a recent, unreviewed paper: construct the space station inside an asteroid and start it spinning.

Luna 25 crashes and Russia's return to the moon is a disaster.
The Luna 25 spacecraft, designed to usher in a new era of space research, crashed into the Moon after entering an uncontrolled orbit, according to the Russian space agency Roscosmos.

Astronomers confirm the faintest galaxy ever seen as we look back toward the Cosmic Dawn.
Our universe is transparent, with dazzling stars and galaxies shining against a pristine, pitch-black background. This, however, wasn't always the case because the universe's early history was veiled by a cloud of hydrogen atoms that blocked the light from the first stars and galaxies.
