It has a similar size as Earth, but is much hotter and completes its orbit around its star in two days.

Since it began collecting data, it has captured - in stunning detail - previously unobservable stars, planets and galaxies.

If successful, the mission signals a big step toward returning humans to the moon.

But apparently not cold enough for NASA. And a White River Junction engineering company says it has the ultra-cold technology the space agency’s needs for Project Artemis, which aims to land the first woman and next man on the moon by 2024.
