No statement has currently been made regarding the cause or whether there were any injuries.

Why were “clumpy” galaxies so common in the early universe, and where did they go?

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Debris from our recent hotfire anomaly may wash ashore in the coming days/weeks. If you encounter any debris, do not touch or approach it for your safety.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

NASA is aware of the anomaly that occurred tonight at Launch Complex 36 involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. 

Spaceflight is unforgiving, and developing new heavy-lift launch capability is extraordinarily difficult. We will work with our partners to support a thorough investigation of this anomaly, assess near-term mission impacts, and get back to launching rockets.

We will provide information on any impacts to the Artemis and Moon Base programs as it becomes available.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We experienced an anomaly during today's hotfire test. All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.

@ChristieDibMD @HopkinsNsurg Congrats @ChristieDibMD from all of us.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

After carrying the Artemis II crew 694,481 miles around the Moon and back, Orion is home at @NASAKennedy!

Inside the Multi-Payload Processing Facility, teams will now inspect the spacecraft, retrieve post flight data, and remove excess fuel and coolant.

The newly upgraded Boeing 777 has arrived back and better than ever at Langley! Additions to the aircraft will help scientists better understand extreme weather in its upcoming NURTURE mission. The future of airborne science is now. 🌎✈️

Sad!

[FL360aero @fl360aero]

While operating a flight from Nairobi, an EBB Air Embraer EMB-120RT Brasilia plane (registration 5Y-EBB) was involved in a runway excursion while landing at Mandera Airstrip, Kenya and crashed into a thicket on April 24, 2026.

The aircraft veered off the runway into vegetation during landing; all passengers and crew evacuated safely.

Earthshine.

Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch captured this video of Earth outside the windows of the Orion spacecraft during the second flight day of the mission. Orion was roughly 33,800 miles (54,500 km) away from Earth when @Astro_Christina took this video.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

The NASA Artemis II Human Research Data Methodology Challenge is seeking innovative approaches to analyzing the unique dataset collected from the Artemis II mission.
