Astronauts Homeward Bound, Sun's Secrets Unveiled, and Uranus's Heat Revelation

• Axiom Space's AX4 Mission Returns: Join us as we check-in on the return of the AX4 crew from the International Space Station. Led by Commentaor Peggy Whitson, the crew conducted over 60 experiments during their extended stay, making history as the first astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary to visit the ISS. We discuss their journey aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, and the implications of their research for future missions.
• - Parker Solar Probe's Groundbreaking Discoveries: Delve into the latest stunning images from NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which recently flew closer to the Sun than any spacecraft before. Learn how these insights into solar weather and the Sun's atmosphere are reshaping our understanding of space weather threats and improving safety for astronauts and technology on Earth.
• - Global Launch Roundup: Catch up on a whirlwind week of space launches, including China's successful cargo resupply mission to the Tiangong Space Station, and Gilmour Space's maiden launch attempt of its Eris rocket from Australia. We also highlight SpaceX's busy schedule, featuring the launch of Starlink satellites and Amazon's Kuiper satellites.
• - Surprising Findings on Uranus: Discover new research suggesting that Uranus emits more internal heat than it receives from the Sun, challenging previous assumptions made by Voyager 2. This revelation could redefine our understanding of Uranus's internal structure and evolution, bolstering the case for future exploration missions.
