OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

$A starfield filled with thousands of stars and shining clouds of dust. The Milky Way\u2019s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA$

HUGE EUROPA NEWS!! OLD DATA HAS BEEN ANALYZED AND SHOWS THE PRESENCE OF AMONIA-BEARING COMPOUNDS ON EUROPA’S SURFACE!!! THIS IS HUGE FOR THE SEARCH FOR LIFE!!

The relatively smooth, cracked surface of the moon Europa as photographed by NASA's Galileo spacecraft.

Jupiter's moon Europa, with an inset that shows a magnified view of one part of its surface. The inset photo shows grooves and cracks on Europa's icy surface. Overlaid on the photo are areas marked in purple what show non-detections of ammonia, and four small areas marked in red that shod where ammonia was detected.
