Soviet-era spacecraft meant to land on Venus in the 1970s is expected to make uncontrolled return to Earth, probably around 10 May.
The chance of it actually hitting someone or something is small but cannot be completely ruled out.
Watch out for falling debris!

This is such a great launch photo!
ULA's Atlas V launches Amazonโs Project Kuiper satellites into orbit from the Florida coast (28 April).
It's part of Amazonโs initiative to deliver global broadband internet from space and will be a rival to Elon Musk's Starlink.

Not saying the massive #electricity outages currently causing problems across #๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป and #๐ฃ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐๐ด๐ฎ๐น were instigated by a solar storm...

The world is changing - fast.
And, as I write in the editorial of the Spring issue of ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ, shifting geopolitics are reshaping space too.
