Spaced Out

My way of working the Ukraine flag colors into an otherwise unrelated post.

Lots going on out in space. Progress on the Webb Space Telescope (not renamed, despite protests) continues, so far without technical problems. A suspected black hole turns out to not be one. And a rocket is about to crash into the Moon.

Contrary to earlier reports, it is not a piece of SpaceX debris, but Chinese junk.

P.S. Oops! I missed one. A new weather satellite has been launched and will reach geo-synchronous orbit.
