Well, It’s official. Space is no longer just for astronauts…
The Perseid meteor shower is on its way, and you don’t want to miss it!
This is your chance to see stunning shooting stars, and we can thank debris from large comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle slamming into Earth's atmosphere for the spectacle. This meteor shower is a crowd favorite because of its reliability and the potential for breathtaking fireballs.
According to NASA, the annual Perseids are active from now through Aug. 24, and it's "considered the best meteor shower of the year." Meteor activity will peak on the night of Aug. 11 and morning of Aug. 12, where viewers can see up to 50 meteorites per hour on a clear night with dark skies.

Fun Fact! Once a year, Saturn reaches opposition, where it appears opposite of the sun from the perspective of the Earth. That day is today! 🪐
The Ringed Planet has been visible for stargazers late at night for the majority of the year, but this month Saturn will be visible all night long (as long as the sky is clear!)

FROM THE WIRE
Last year, news broke that Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman were cooking up a $200 million project with Universal that would find them flying to the International Space Station with the help of Elon Musk’s SpaceX. That project is currently in the early stages of pre-production, but Russia will get there first, with director Klim Shipenko and actress Yulia Pereslid heading to the ISS to shoot scenes for the feature-length “The Call” in October. There are also two reality series with their sights set on ISS, “Space Hero” and “Who Wants to Be an Astronaut?”, the latter of which aims to send the winner of an astronaut training competition to the station next year.

NEWS UPDATE
Boeing's Starliner mission was originally set to launch this past Friday afternoon but had to be delayed after a mishap on the International Space Station (ISS). Russia's new module, Nauka, fired its engines unexpectedly after docking to the station on Thursday, which rotated the ISS 45 degrees. Flight controllers regained control about an hour later. The next opportunity to launch Starliner is on Tuesday, August 3, at 1:20 p.m. EDT.

A sighting said to be a man in a jetpack flying some 5,000 feet in the sky 15 miles away from Los Angeles International Airport occurred Wednesday. There were a number of similar sightings in 2020 that sparked rumors about the mysterious man, dubbed "jetpack man," and prompted a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigation into the phenomenon.

Last time the Starliner spacecraft tried to fly to the International Space Station, software issues came up. Now Boeing is set to try again.
FROM THE WIRE
Senior NASA officials were quick to downplay the incident, insisting the crew was never in any danger during a roughly 45 minute period when the space station lost attitude control, or the ability to maintain the vehicle’s orientation relative to the planet below. But the team responsible for the space station was clearly worried the unexpected maneuvers might have damaged the solar arrays that power the orbiting lab, although no issues have been identified so far.

On Monday NASA announced that, by looking through the last two decades of data from the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers had discovered evidence of water v***r in the Jupiter moon's thin atmosphere. This water probably doesn't come from the underground ocean, though. Instead, it's likely ice v***rizing from the moon's surface.
