We spend a lot of time wondering and looking at other planets and galaxies. But sometimes it's worth taking in the view of the little space ball we call home: 📸: NASA
across the galaxies—aboard telescopes, spacecraft, and cutting-edge imaging and instruments—we ride all manner of invisible waves. Call us the elite surfers of space. And our first ride isLong before the NASA spacecraft ever got there, we knew that the giant planet had lots going on atmosphere-wise, but it’s fair to say Juno has given us a whole new scope on the Jovian beast.
Next we blast past the scene at the Orion Nebula, where astronomers are examining the role of magnetic fields in star formation. Astronomers wonder why some star making tends to slow down or stop altogether. Now they think the magnetic field rippling through the Orion Nebula might be affecting the development of stars. As they better understand this phenomenon, they also might be able to figure out why stars are dispersed the way they are in our galaxy and others.
Finally, we end in calm, with a warm photo of a spiral galaxy that served as the “first light” collected for, a new telescope that will tip other space gazers to new potential planets around other stars. Every time we venture out into space, it’s a whole new wave of exploration. Grab a board and a suit and paddle out to WIRED’s full collection of photos,

Why Is NOAA Not Taking Space Traffic Management Seriously?As the population of satellites in orbit grows, billions of dollars in government and commercial satellites, as well as the services they provide, are put at risk. Space Traffic Management (STM) is vital to avoid collisions in an increasingly congested space environment and it is on NOAA to help.
