In a recent paper, astronomers published research suggesting Uranus’ four largest moons may have liquid oceans beneath their surfaces. This research comes from re-analyzing data collected by NASA’s Voyager 2 flyby of the planet in January of 1986.
In a blog post on May 30th, NASA announced that the James Webb Space Telescope had discovered a large plume of water coming from Saturn’s sixth largest moon, Enceladus. This moon is one of the most reflective bodies in the solar system thanks to its clean, icy surface, which has long been known to contain a liquid ocean underneath.
The European Space Agency’s (ESA) JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) successfully launched on April 14th of this year. This interplanetary spacecraft will take 8 years to reach Jupiter, where it will then study the planet and three of Jupiter’s largest moons, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa.
if you remember that life is fluid you’ll never feel stuck. nothing is the end all or your only option. when something ends it’s your time to start something new. it doesn’t matter how often doors close if you’re always moving forward. don’t dwell or try to open those old doors. the more you keep moving, the more you’ll see life is working in your favor.

If I get down on myself and start comparing myself to others by saying, "I'll never be as good as that person at such and such a thing", I try to remind myself that Thank Goodness other people are better than me at lots of things!
That's less I have to do or compensate for! There's already someone out there doing something great and filling that need, so I can focus on what I want to do and what makes me feel good and productive. And then I get to enjoy what they make!
I don't have to be the best, I just have to fill my little niche and that's enough. So someone else will look at me and "Phew! Glad I don't have to worry about that, they've got that covered."

Four new composite images released by NASA show the power of combining infrared and x-ray data to reveal new details of some familiar objects in space. These objects, two galaxies, a star cluster, and a nebula, were imaged by both Webb and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, two of NASA’s space based telescopes.
