The first crewed mission around the moon in more than 50 years is coming up – target date is April 1, 2026. 

Thinking about getting tickets?  Tickets for viewing packages were released by the Kennedy Space Center and for purchase directly through the center’s website.  The “Feel the Heat” package, which offers the closest viewing point at 3.5 miles from the launchpad, sold out within hours. Other tickets for viewings at the privately run main visitor complex eight miles away were also sold out.

You can sign up for email notifications (see link below) on the space center’s website for the latest information about the launch.

The Hubble Space Telescope has roamed galaxies for far away, capturing stellar snapshots of distant planets, exploding stars, and other cosmic wonders.  To mark the project's 30th anniversary, NASA went back through all those shots and chose 366 – one for every day of the year – for an online gallery.

Enter your birthday or any day and get ready to see something out of this world.
