A prototype planetary radar system captured the highest resolution images of the Moon ever
Forward-looking: Using less power than an ordinary household appliance, a team of scientists was able to capture the highest resolution images of the Moon ever. Soon, researchers will have unprecedented and very powerful tools to probe the cosmos – and catch a potentially planet-killing asteroid before it strikes Earth.

First-ever attempted space flight to launch in the UK fails to reach orbit
Blimey!
What just happened? The UK's first-ever orbital launch attempt took place last night, but the occasion will likely be remembered for all the wrong reasons after the satellite mission failed to reach orbit due to an undisclosed "anomaly." A disappointing end to what had been hailed as a new space era for the country.
