Movement of celestial bodies is so cool. Here you can see #Moon and #Venus movement in just one day comparison. Yesterday versus today. #Space

Not even remotely funny. And pretty sad that my first reading of this was from an video gaming web site.

Did anyone see or hear of any real-world issues when the CCSDS CUC 1958 epoch crossed 2³¹ seconds on 19 January 2026?
ESA had already warned about this beforehand.
I’m especially interested in actual operational incidents, anomalies, or post-event reports.

Since 2017, ESA’s #SpaceDebris Office has published an annual Space Environment Report to provide a transparent overview of global space activities and determine how well international debris-reduction measures are improving the long-term sustainability of spaceflight: https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Space_Debris/ESA_Space_Environment_Report_2026 -> "The number and scale of commercial satellite constellations continue to increase each year. Not enough satellites leave heavily congested orbits at the end of their lives, creating a growing collision risk. More than three intact satellites or rocket bodies are reentering the Earth’s atmosphere every day on average. At the same time, ten new payloads are launched daily. A new trend has constellations change altitude significantly year-on-year. New report metric added in 2026: on-ground casualty risk of reentries. Even though the numbers are low compared to everyday risks in life, the chance of a casualty increased in recent years due to increased traffic."

NASA’s Voyager 2 survives daring ‘big bang’ maneuver
After 49 years in space, NASA’s Voyagers are running low on power—but an audacious move should extend the tenures of the two spacecraft.

Air Force Secretary Troy Meink made the first public declaration Monday that the United States has placed “space control weapons” in orbit, an announcement that will surely reverberate in the power centers of Beijing and Moscow: #SpaceWar

Is the Oort Cloud a spherical shell or a doughnut (aligned with the planetary disc)? Or do we not know?

Finding Life on Enceladus Could be Easier than We Thought, Says New Research
Planetary scientists from Freie Universität Berlin have published two new studies that indicate that a spacecraft could identify evidence of life much more easily than previously thought.

The largest known galaxy, IC 1101, is 1.7 million light-years across https://www.sciencealert.com/the-biggest-known-galaxy-is-1-7-million-light-years-and-we-cant-comprehend-the-scale

The Biggest Known Galaxy Is 1.7 Million Light-Years, And We Can't Comprehend The Scale

The Moon occults Jupiter and it's moons, shot from my backyard this morning before dawn. 🌒
Using the Dwarf Mini, I targeted the star TYC 1403-1442 as the software wouldn't let me target Jupiter directly on a schedule (because it was below horizon), and assembled the timelapse later from ~5k 1 second frames. Enjoy!

75 years ago the Soviet #SpaceDogs Dezik and Tsygan became the first vertebrates to survive a spaceflight, if only a suborbital one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dezik_and_Tsygan (and see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2024/06/11/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-11-juni-2024/ for the first vertebrate to reach space but didn't make it back alive two years earlier).

#PuertoRico leidet unter schwerer #Dürre.
Mitte September waren 37 % der Insel von extremer Dürre betroffen. Besonders betroffen ist das landwirtschaftlich wichtige Lajas Tal im Südwesten. Aufnahmen des #Copernicus Satelliten Sentinel 2 zeigen, wie sich die Landschaft zwischen September 2025 und September 2026 von grüner Vegetation zu überwiegend braunen Flächen verändert hat.

#SpaceX will mit seiner neuen Plattform Space Safety Kollisionen zwischen #Satelliten verhindern. 🤦‍♂️
Doch das wachsende Problem des #Weltraumschrotts bleibt weitgehend unberücksichtigt. Laut #ESA kreisen mehr als eine Million gefährliche Trümmerteile im niedrigen #Erdorbit. Kritiker bezweifeln deshalb, dass eine unternehmenseigene Plattform ausreicht.

As part of the preparation for the end of utilisation of the International #SpaceStation (ISS), the European Space Agency (ESA) awarded a contract to two European industrial consortia to conduct preliminary studies assessing the feasibility to develop a future European-led orbital outpost: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration/ESA_investigates_potential_future_European-led_orbital_outpost - a European-led outpost represents one of several options being investigated by ESA's Directorate of Human and Robotic Exploration to prepare Europe's future in low Earth orbit, alongside potential cooperation with future commercial orbital destinations.
