After spending 30 months exploring the floor and river delta of Jezero Crater, NASA's Perseverance rover is preparing for a challenging climb up the western rim of the crater. The ascent, expected to begin during the week of August 19, marks the start of the rover's fifth science campaign, which will take it through some of the steepest terrain it has encountered since its landing on February 18

NASA needs to decide by the end of August whether to return two astronauts to Earth aboard Boeing's Starliner, which flew them to the International Space Station (ISS), or bring them home on a SpaceX craft, officials said Wednesday.
NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams blasted off for the ISS on Starliner on June 5 for what was meant to be an eight-day stay.

Collisions between neutron stars likely produce the densest form of matter known in the Universe. Through innovative approaches using two theoretical methods, scientists have now gained deeper insights into the behavior of quark matter under the extreme conditions created during these cosmic events.
