Hello to the SLIM moon mission and the Aditya solar mission.
OSIRIS-REx delivered its asteroid sample and has been re-tasked as OSIRIS-APEx to study the asteroid Apophis.

Just now: "There are no countries in Africa that start with the letter "K".
The closest is Kenya, which starts with a "K" sound."

If successful, India will be the fourth country to land on the Moon besides the US, the USSR, and China.
(China has had rovers on the Moon since 2013)

Permaculture literature would be a good resource.
The Euclid telescope, just launched today, will be able to observe galaxies out to 10 billion light-years. Here's the largest map I could find (1 billion light years) that includes the Milky Way, Laniakea, the Shapley supercluster, the Perseus–Pisces supercluster, and the South Pole Wall.

I'd love to get a Unistellar telescope to share my observations and do citizen science.

Saio et al. created a model that simulated Betelgeuse’s pulsations and say it provides unique insight into the star’s internal status. The only way for Betelgeuse to pulsate in this way is if it is at the very end of its carbon burning period. That means the collapse of this star’s core and the accompanying supernova is imminent. “After carbon is exhausted in the core, a core-collapse leading to a supernova explosion is expected in a few tens of years,” they conclude.

Phosphorus, a key chemical element for many biological processes, has been found for the first time in an ocean beyond Earth.
The Euclid telescope, expected to launch next month, will be able to observe galaxies out to 10 billion light-years. Can anyone find a map of the local universe to that scale? I'd like to see where structures like the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall and the Laniakea Supercluster are relative to each other.
