The new series “Mars” looks cool. You can see the first episode online on their site for free. From some countries at least.
BBC The Sky at Night - Life on Mars
The team investigates the ongoing hunt for life on Mars. It is one of the great scientific questions of our time, but are we any closer to finding an answer?
I think we need to be looking inside the sinkholes and caves of Mars.

Opinion - Space nappies, hardly the sci-fi future we all were promised. Where is science pushing the limits here, like for example trying to create a ‘Stillsuit’ (‘Dune’ - desert survival suit). Really making use of the sweat and urine and other waste we produce whilst zipped up inside a space suit. Maybe later in the century perhaps.

A good overview of the Cassini mission. Amazing how accurately they could nail an orbital insertion between the rings from a gravity assist by Titan.

Wish I could afford to get this printed on metal. Gas giants, they’re so hot right now.

Also someone animated this and now I am legit scared of jupiter now.
And what’s the scientific consensus now on these new images.
That Jupiter is a complex beast
That’s not a concept Mars rover, it’s a PR prop. Hope they didn’t waste too much money on it.
