How To See Monday's Rare Moon-Mars Conjunction — Then ‘Shooting Stars'
Skywatchers across the globe can witness a stunning conjunction of the moon and Mars shortly after sunset on Monday, July 28. Visible low in the west, the striking pair will be visible during twilight in the western sky before setting a few hours later. That evening, shooting stars are expected as both the Southern delta Aquariids and the alpha Capricornids meteor showers peak. Close up earth view with moon and mars in view getty The conjunction of the moon and Mars will be best seen about 45 minutes after sunset and be visible for around an hour before setting in the west. A clear view of the western horizon is recommended. Although it will be easily visible to the naked eye as twilight takes hold, binoculars will make it easier to scan the sky. The moon will be below and slightly to the left of Mars. The waxing crescent moon will be 19%-illuminated, with its night side bathed in Earthshine — sunlight reflected from Earth's ice caps, clouds and oceans onto the lunar surface, Mars won't be at its peak brightness — that happened last January — but its distinct reddish hue will be obvious as it gets darker. Although the conjunction will only be visible for one night, if it's cloudy, it's worth looking again the next night. On Tuesday, July 29, the waxing crescent moon will be 27%-illuminated and still be displaying Earthshine. Instead of being beneath Mars, it will be alongside it. The moon will be on the left and Mars on the right above due west. Observing Mars In 2025 Mars reached opposition on Jan. 16, when it made its closest approach to Earth since 2022. It's been prominent for most of the year and will continue to be visible shortly after sunset for a few months, eventually becoming lost in the sun's glare in late November. Mars will next come to opposition on Feb. 19, 2027. Just hours after observing the moon-Mars conjunction, two meteor showers will peak — the Southern delta Aquariids and the alpha Capricornids. Expect up to 25 shooting stars per hour from the Southern delta Aquariid meteor shower. Although the Alpha Capricornids contribute just five shooting stars per hour at their peak, they tend to include bright and colorful fireballs, according to the American Meteor Society. The Piscis Austrinid meteor shower will peak the previous night, in the early hours of July 28, with about five meteors per hour possible, according to With the crescent moon and Mars setting a few hours after sunset, July 28-29 will be an excellent night for stargazing and looking for shooting stars if the skies are clear.

Investing in Space: NASA's months of reckoning
For half a year now, NASA's been weathering a storm on every front, from its budget to its chain of command and potential program terminations. Employee uproar was an inevitable chapter of the saga. A group of 360 current and former NASA employees have penned a letter rebuking "rapid and wasteful changes" across staffing, mission and budgetary cuts at the space agency. "The last six months have seen rapid and wasteful changes which have undermined our mission and caused catastrophic impacts on NASA's workforce," the letter says, noting concerns that the proposed downsizing in personnel and funding are "arbitrary and have been enacted in defiance of congressional appropriations law" and that "the consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire." Signatories of the letter, titled the Voyager Declaration, urge the U.S. leadership not to implement "harmful" cuts and dispute "non-strategic staffing reductions," curtailing research projects, as well as cancelling contracts and participation in international missions or assignments for which Congress has already appropriated funding. It's no small list of objections raised at a time of broader uncertainty at NASA, which faces significant — and long chronicled — declines in funding and staff, amid a broader White House push to shrink down the federal workforce. "NASA will never compromise on safety. Any reductions—including our current voluntary reduction—will be designed to protect safety-critical roles," NASA Spokesperson Bethany Stevens said in an emailed statement. "The reality is that President Trump has proposed billions of dollars for NASA science, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to communicating our scientific achievements. To ensure NASA delivers for the American people, we are continually evaluating mission lifecycles, not on sustaining outdated or lower-priority missions." Adding to the tumult, NASA on Monday announced the high-level exit of Makenzie Lystrup, who will end her two-year stint as Goddard Space Flight Center director on Aug. 1. NASA says the step was communicated internally before any knowledge of the letter. It's not the first loss from the agency's senior ranks in recent months: Laurie Leshin stepped down from the director post of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in June. And more exits could be forthcoming: at the start of the month, Politico reported that at least 2,145 senior-level employees could depart NASA, many serving in core mission sets. Throughout, NASA — notable for both its own achievements and its substantial contracts to the U.S. private space industry — has remained without long-term leadership, after U.S. President Donald Trump's initial pick, tech billionaire and Elon Musk ally Jared Isaacman, was unexpectedly removed from consideration back in May. Sean Duffy, Trump's transportation secretary, was appointed to hold up the fort as NASA's interim administrator just this month. Inevitably, there's money on the line. NASA clinched a budget of $24.875 billion last year — 8.5% under its initial request and 2% below the funding of 2023 — that was matched in 2025. Under the Trump administration, the agency battled the possibility of a roughly 25% budget trim in 2026, although the U.S. House of Appropriations subcommittee has pushed back on these cuts. If enacted, the Trump funding proposal of $18.8 billion would have been the smallest NASA budget since before the U.S.' first crewed Moon landing via the Apollo 11 mission, commemorated this week on July 20. In a Monday statement, Trump said his administration is "building on the legacy of Apollo 11" and endorsed NASA's initiatives focused on "returning Americans to the Moon —this time to stay — and putting the first boots on Mars." Colonizing the red planet has been a vocally stated objective of the U.S. president since his January return to office, echoing the ambitions of his then-ally Musk. The two have since parted ways through an explosive rift, but the dream to land U.S. astronauts on the Moon and Mars has gripped the nation, with a respective 67% and 65% of those surveyed in a CBS News/YouGov pollv now in favor.

Elon Musk to give an update on Starship status and future plans
SpaceX boss Elon Musk has promised to lay out his company's plans for the mighty Starship rocket in an upcoming event. In a post on X on Thursday night, he said the presentation will take place shortly before the rocket's 10th flight test, which is expected to take place next in the first half of next month. 'Shortly before the next flight, I will do a live technical update on Starship, going over progress to date and engineering/production/launch plans for the future,' Musk said in the post. Recommended Videos The presentation, which is likely to take place at SpaceX's Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, should offer some details on what his team has learned from recent flight tests and how it's used that knowledge to improve the rocket, which, packing some 17 million pounds of thrust at launch, makes it the most powerful launch vehicle ever. Recent Starship flights have been a mixed bag of impressive booster landings and lost spacecraft. There was also the spectacular explosion of the Starship spacecraft, which occurred shortly after a ground-based engine test in June. No one was hurt in the incident. Musk will also offer some information on how many Starship vehicles and boosters are currently being built, and possibly touch on any supply chain challenges. Many people will also be keen to hear about the launch plans for the Starship. Musk has spoken before about his desire to dramatically increase the launch frequency of the Starship so that SpaceX can work more quickly toward making it operational. NASA is planning to use the Starship to carry crew and cargo to the moon in highly anticipated missions before the end of this decade. It could also be used for the first crewed voyage to the surface of Mars. Musk had originally planned to hold the update event at around the time of the ninth flight test in late May, but it was called off at the last minute. The SpaceX chief has now confirmed it'll be happening in the coming weeks, and we'll know exact timings just as soon as SpaceX confirms the launch schedule for the 10th flight test.
