space probe

A space probe on its way to orbit Mercury just sent home a spooky selfie with Venus, captured during a flyby of the second planet from the sun.

Last week, the US space agency tapped the company’s Falcon Heavy rocket to launch a space probe to one of Jupiter’s moons, Europa, in 2024.

To navigate the solar system today, space probes listen for signals from antennas on Earth and then bounce those signals back.

Exactly what space probe sat in the lumber yard that night is still unclear.
