Hear about their challenges and progress as they readjust to life on Earth after an extended period in microgravity.

- The Enigmatic ASCAP J1832: Delve into the mystery of ASCAP J1832, a cosmic object that pulses every 44 minutes in both radio waves and X-rays. This unique star challenges our understanding of stellar behaviour and has scientists puzzled as they investigate its unusual emissions and potential classification.

- China's Tianwen 2 Mission: Discover China's ambitious Tianwen 2 mission, launched to collect samples from a living fossil asteroid known as Kamo Oalawa. This groundbreaking mission could provide valuable insights into the early solar system and showcases China's growing capabilities in space exploration.

- A Busy Week in Space Launches: Get the latest on a flurry of rocket launches around the globe, including SpaceX's ongoing Starlink deployments and Blue Origin's upcoming New Shepard mission. This segment highlights the rapid advancements in space technology and the increasing frequency of launches.

- Earth's Cosmic Future: Explore unsettling research revealing potential risks to Earth's long-term orbital stability due to passing stars. While the chances of catastrophic events remain low, these findings offer a fascinating glimpse into the dynamics of our solar system and the future of our planet.
