World Space Week 4 Oct 2023

World Space Week

World Space Week—observed from October 4 to 10 every year—serves as an opportunity to educate individuals worldwide about the multitude of benefits that emanate from space exploration and technology and to celebrate humanity"s extraterrestrial achievements. A stunning cosmic spectacle that deserves mention is the Tarantula Nebula, captured by NASA"s James Webb Space Telescope. The Tarantula Nebula is the most luminous and largest star-forming region in a galaxy group called the Local Group, which is also home to our own Milky Way. The nebula"s colossal size and dynamic energy offer plenty of compelling material for cosmologists and stargazers.
