ESA deed naar verluid een geslaagde langdurige test met Ariane VI. Al blijft het nog even wachten op een mogelijke datum voor de eerste lancering. Deze week ook een (alweer) uitgebreid hoofdstuk over Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope en andere. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit de Ruimtevaart van deze week.

Bij de foto: James Webb Space Telescope blijft de (wetenschappelijke) wereld verbazen en dat met vrijwel elke foto. Dit beeld geeft een zicht op het centrum van onze eigen melkweg. Kijk verder in deze NUDR voor meer info en andere prachtige beelden afkomstig van o.a. JWST en HST. Afbeelding: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Samuel Crowe (UVA).
