NASA’s New Space Telescopes and the Race for Lunar Timekeeping

NASA selects innovative X-ray and far-infrared space telescope concepts for study, promising to revolutionize our understanding of the universe. Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force backs Sierra Space's 'Ghost' spacecraft for rapid cargo delivery from orbit. As the lunar race intensifies, the U.S. and China grapple with establishing a Coordinated Lunar Time standard. Plus, the James Webb Space Telescope discovers 'supernova Hope,' potentially resolving the Hubble tension debate. Join us as we explore these exciting developments in space exploration and technology.
