1. Roman Telescope

Roman Telescope Launches NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope blasted off August 30, 2026, on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy from Kennedy Space Center, starting its journey to L2. It will survey dark energy, exoplanets, and billions of galaxies with a field of view 100 times larger than Hubble’s.

2. Key fact

Key fact: $4.3 billion mission heading 1.5 million km from Earth.

3. Crew-13 Delayed

Crew-13 Delayed NASA and SpaceX postponed the Crew-13 astronaut launch to the ISS (was targeted for Sept. 12) after detecting an oxidizer leak in the Dragon spacecraft’s propulsion system during prelaunch checks. Teams are testing and repairing; no new date yet.

4. Key fact

Key fact: Four-person crew including NASA’s Jessica Watkins.

5. Early Galaxies

Early Galaxies Heavier James Webb Space Telescope data show some of the early universe’s biggest galaxies hide far more faint low-mass stars than thought, making them up to 3-4 times more massive. This challenges models of galaxy formation just after the Big Bang.

6. Key fact

Key fact: Analysis of nine mature early galaxies published mid-August 2026.

7. Tiangong Spacewalk

Tiangong Spacewalk Success China’s Shenzhou-23 crew completed a 5.5-hour spacewalk on August 28, repairing solar array wings and installing debris shields on the Tiangong station. Astronauts Zhu Yangzhu and Zhang Zhiyuan performed the EVA.

8. Key fact

Key fact: Second Chinese solar-wing maintenance EVA.

9. Weird Asteroid

Weird Asteroid Revealed New high-resolution images show main-belt asteroid (44) Nysa is likely a rare three-lobed “contact trinary” with two neck-like connections, plus a newly found tiny moon about 1 km across.

10. Key fact

Key fact: ~75 km diameter primary with moon orbiting at least 170 km away.
