How can we see what is invisible? Black holes are not easy to see in the dark cosmic night, but astronomers can find them by analyzing their gravitational effects on matter, light and spacetime. The featured image shows an illustration that combines a simulation of a black hole binary system in its

Estamos un pequeño paso más cerca de regresar a la Luna. Un nuevo capítulo en la exploración humana comenzó ayer cuando Artemis II de la NASA despegó a bordo del Sistema de Lanzamiento Espacial (SLS) desde el Centro Espacial Kennedy. Transportando a cuatro astronautas, la nave Orión realizará un sobrevuelo lunar, el primero en más de medio siglo. Esta histórica misión de prueba, que recuerda el legado del Apollo pero va más allá, llevará a su tripulación más lejos de la Tierra que cualquier ser humano desde 1972, orbitando alrededor de la Luna antes de regresar a casa. Durante los aproximadamente diez días de viaje, se probarán los sistemas de Orión —desde soporte vital hasta navegación— en el espacio profundo, mientras los astronautas observan la superficie lunar incluyendo regiones sombreadas en el lado lejano pocas veces vistas con tal perspectiva. Tras orbitar la Luna, los astronautas regresarán a la Tierra en un amerizaje en el Océano Pacífico.

¿Qué cosas inesperadas ves al mirar el cielo nocturno? La imagen de hoy se asemeja a una pintura abstracta, con grandes áreas de color extendidas sobre un lienzo cósmico aparentemente sin diseño. A pesar de su naturaleza abstracta, la mente humana encuentra patrones, identificando una gran garra que se extiende hacia una burbuja flotante. Dentro de estas estructuras aparentemente aleatorias se encuentran las leyes físicas que gobiernan la interacción entre la luz y la materia. Las nebulosas Garra (Sh2-157) y Burbuja (NGC 7635) brillan en colores mapeados al amarillo y azul, indicando la presencia de hidrógeno y oxígeno ionizados por la intensa luz emitida por estrellas con masas varias veces la del Sol. Esta imagen refleja tanto el caos como la estructura de los procesos astronómicos, mostrando que un punto en común entre el arte y la ciencia es la búsqueda de lo inesperado.

El terreno accidentado de Titania es una mezcla de cañones, acantilados y cráteres. La nave espacial interplanetaria Voyager 2 de la NASA pasó por la luna más grande de Urano en 1986 y tomó esta imagen destacada. Las trincheras de Titania se parecen a las de otra luna de Urano, Ariel, lo que indica que Titania sufrió un evento violento en su superficie, posiblemente relacionado con la congelación y expansión del agua en su pasado remoto. Aunque Titania es la luna más grande de Urano, tiene solo aproximadamente la mitad del radio de Tritón, la luna más grande del planeta hermano de Urano, Neptuno, que a su vez es ligeramente más pequeña que la Luna de la Tierra. Titania, descubierta por William Herschel en 1787, es esencialmente una gran bola de hielo sucio compuesta aproximadamente por mitad hielo de agua y mitad roca. Hay especulación reciente de que el calentamiento radiactivo derrite algo de hielo subterráneo en océanos.

Titania's tortured terrain is a mix of canyons, cliffs, and craters. NASA's interplanetary robot spacecraft Voyager 2 passed the largest moon of Uranus in 1986 and took the feature picture. That the trenches of Titania resemble those on another moon of Uranus, Ariel, indicate that Titania underwent
