Wow! This is yet another surprise from the Tianwen-1 mission. The orbiter had apparently released a small sub satellite while in Mars orbit, returning these outrageous images. [CNSA/CLEP/PEC]

SpaceX carried out a record-breaking 26 launches this year, but how many boosters did it take to get it done?
The answer is 11. And here they are!
Falcon 9 is quite the workhorse, but do you know which booster saw the most action in 2020?

Debris generated by the dangerous Russian ASAT test caused ISS astronauts and cosmonauts to undertake emergency procedures for safety.
It's unthinkable that Russia would endanger not only intl partner astronauts on the ISS but also their own cosmonauts.

Story:
ISS/debris: The origin of the debris is not yet know, but more encounters may be possible, according to Russian reports and US sources; the crews are back inside ISS and hatches between the segments are open; but other modules remain closed off as a precaution
