In this episode we have alot of space & science to cover! There were so many exciting things that happened in May/June that we are only just catching up. Lot's of 1sts going on lately:
1. Blue Origin's NS21 mission sends the 1st Mexican-born woman to the Edge of Space
2. NASA grows plants in Lunar Regolith for the 1st time. The soil was saved from the Apollo-era missions that brought back moon soil for us to test!
3. The EHT team captures the 1st image of the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Only the 2nd image EVER taken of a black hole
4. JWST plans to release the first images on July 12th! We discuss an event that happened on May23 & May25 to JWST.
We share another Twitter Spaces clip where we got to ask the team about how the data JWST will take is different from Hubble.
