Solar System space probes operational as of November 2024. This is a list of active space probes which have escaped Earth orbit. It includes lunar space probes, but does not include space probes orbiting at the Sun–Earth Lagrangian points (for these, see List of objects at Lagrangian points). A craft is deemed "active" if it is still able to ...

New images from the Euclid space telescope are published, including a view of the Messier 78 star nursery. [274] Astronomers using TESS report the discovery of Gliese 12 b, a Venus-sized exoplanet located 40 light-years away, with an equilibrium temperature of 315 K (42 °C; 107 °F). This makes it the nearest, transiting, temperate, Earth ...

An artist's rendition of Kepler-62f, a potentially habitable exoplanet discovered using data transmitted by the Kepler space telescope. The list of exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type.
Space Pioneer is the first private company to reach orbit on its first attempt using a fully liquid fueled rocket. [ 19 ] On 20 April, SpaceX 's Starship had its first test flight , [ 20 ] aiming to complete about three-quarters of an orbit and landing in the Pacific Ocean northwest of Kauai . [ 21 ]
