| Good morning, friends of The Short List! |
| While things on Earth have been ~ a bit ~ chaotic lately, I thought we might want to focus a molecule of our attention on a space where some pretty cool things are happening: Space! |
| In the past few weeks, two spacecraft have been launched to Mars, and on Thursday, one more was sent. Here's why that's a big deal: It's bringing NASA one step closer in taking humans to Mars. |
| But that's not all that's happening in space: |
| • | Two teenage schoolgirls in India discovered an asteroid near Mars. It's moving toward Earth. ☄️ | | • | NASA is launching a balloon the size of a football stadium into the stratosphere so researchers can study the formation of stars. 🚀 | | • | Want to see a meteor shower tonight? Look to the southern sky to see the Alpha Capricornids, notable for the number of bright fireballs produced during its activity period. ✨ | |
| And now back to our regularly programmed long reads 👇 |
| |
 | | | NASA's mission to Mars looks for signs of life | | An unmanned rover will look for clues of ancient life in the dry bed of a vanished lake in NASA's upcoming Mars mission – and, for the first time ever, fly a drone-sized helicopter in the thin Martian air. | | |
