Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy says it's time for the agency to focus on the moon and Mars, not the "smorgasbord of priorities," like climate science, the agency has been directing its resources.

South Korea's KASA is just one international space agency that will fly cubesats on the mission; Germany's DLR will also contribute its TACHELES cubesat. While Artemis 2 will send astronauts around the moon, the cubesats will have their own science objectives.

Researchers discovered a new 'tiny' moon using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the largest, most powerful telescope ever launched into space.

NASA said a tiny moon has been found by the Webb Space Telescope orbiting the planet Uranus. The moon is only six miles wide and was found by Webb’s near-infrared camera, The Associated Press reported. That’s about the length of a 10K. Scientists believe that it was missed for so long because it is tiny and is faint, the AP reported.

Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy has directed the agency to fast-track plans to put a nuclear reactor on the moon.

Placing an atomic energy source on the lunar surface is “not science fiction,” experts say, but does pose technical challenges.

"Our society is built on technologies that are highly susceptible to space weather," said NASA's Heliophysics Division Director Joseph Westlake in the release. "Just as we use meteorology to forecast Earth's weather, space weather forecasts predict the conditions and events in the space environment that can affect Earth and our technologies."
