SpaceX's plans to leave Earth's orbit start with this shiny creation. Starship is the next-gen spaceship that could one day deploy satellites, carry artists around the moon and even touch down on the moon and Mars. SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted this look at a stainless-steel Starship prototype in Texas on Jan. 10, 2019. This one isn't intended for orbital duty, but is used as a "hopper" to test takeoffs and landings. "Starship will look like liquid silver," Musk tweeted in late 2018. He said SpaceX is building two orbital prototypes, one in Texas and one in Florida. These new Starships are meant to launch into Earth orbit. Originally published Jan. 28 and updated with new Starship milestones.

It's not quite Mars, but it will do

When energy is added to uranium under pressure, it creates a shock wave, and even a tiny sample will be vaporized like a small explosion. By using smaller, controlled explosions, physicists can test on a microscale what could previously be tested only in larger, more dangerous experiments. In a recent experiment, scientists used a laser to ablate atomic uranium while recording chemical reactions as the plasma cooled, oxidized and formed species of more complex uranium. This image shows space- and time-resolved emission contours for the transition occurring in atomic uranium at 591.54 nanometers (left) and the transition occurring in uranium monoxide at 593.55 nm (right). The data were recorded using a monochromator photomultiplier tube, with varying partial pressures of oxygen. Credit: Patrick Skrodzki
