Live coverage: Mission control loses contact with Indian moon lander

An ultra-sensitive camera on NASA’s Parker Solar Probe caught an ethereal glimpse of the night side of Venus during a flyby last year, revealing terrain seen through the thick haze of the planet’s atmosphere.

India’s space agency tested a launch escape system Thursday that could be used on a future spaceship designed to carry astronauts into orbit.

An Israeli spacecraft has one shot Thursday to swing into orbit around the moon with a six-minute engine firing, a critical maneuver that will set up for the privately-funded probe’s historic landing attempt April 11.
