Research update: On June 8, a team of UC Berkeley researchers sent their 3D printing technology to space for the first time as part of the #Galactic07 mission. Their next-generation microgravity printer — dubbed SpaceCAL — spent approx. 3 minutes in space while aboard VSS Unity. During that time, it autonomously printed a total of four test parts, including space shuttles and benchy figurines from a liquid plastic resin.

![Hubble’s Inside the Image: The Veil Nebula
NASAs Hubble Space Telescope has captured a breathtaking image of the Veil Nebula, a remnant of a supernova explosion that showcases delicate, wispy filaments of ionized gas.
In this video, Dr. Ken Carpenter delves into the stunning details of the Veil Nebula and explains how Hubbles observations shed light on the complex processes involved in the aftermath of a stars explosive death.

![NOAA Releases Initial Imagery from the GOES-19 Lightning Mapper
The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument, onboard NOAA’s GOES-19 satellite, is now continuously observing lightning over the Western Hemisphere. GOES-19 launched on June 25, 2024. GLM detects and maps total lightning—in-cloud, cloud-to-cloud, and cloud-to-ground—continuously over the Americas and adjacent ocean regions. GLM offers insights beyond the presence of a lightning strike, revealing the spatial and temporal extent of lightning flashes.
Recently, the GOES-19 GLM detected and monitored lightning activity in two extremely hazardous hurricanes. On Sept. 24, 2024, GLM observed widespread lightning as a cluster of thunderstorms in the western Caribbean Sea consolidated into Tropical Storm Helene. Continuous lightning in the outer rain bands was accompanied by occasional eyewall lightning, as Hurricane Helene rapidly intensified in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Frequent lightning completely enveloped the eyewall as the storm intensified further on its final approach to the Florida coastline. Away from the storm center, GLM helped identify the most intense thunderstorms most likely to produce tornadoes.
