This week, see Starship achieve milestones during its third launch, find out how Stone Age humans wore piercings, meet adorable axolotls, and more.
Each time SpaceX’s Starship system leaps off the launchpad, it unleashes an unmistakable roar over South Texas that heralds the most powerful rocket ever built.

But the first two test flights ended in explosions in 2023. SpaceX doesn’t regard these fiery mishaps as failures.
And while axolotls have taken the internet by storm, poor water quality in their home of Mexico’s Lake Xochimilco has caused them to become critically endangered. Now, conservationists are getting creative to protect these unusual creatures. Across the universe Since November, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has been experiencing a bit of a communication glitch that causes one of its computers to send a signal but no usable data back to the mission team on Earth.
