NASA has launched the SPHEREx telescope to uncover the ingredients for life in our galaxy, as well as the PUNCH mission to study the sun’s mysteries.

A NASA telescope was launched into space from California on Tuesday for a mission to explore the origins of the universe and to scour the Milky Way galaxy for hidden reservoirs of water, a key ingredient for life.

NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams are closer to getting home, nine months after arriving on Boeing’s Starliner. A capsule is set to arrive at the space station Thursday.
