Soyuz MS-23 astronauts return to earth
NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergei Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin have returned to earth with a parachute-assisted landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan. During his mission, Rubio broke the record for longest single spaceflight for a U.S. astronaut spending 371 consecutive days living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory. The mission all part of NASA?s Moon and Mars exploration approach, including lunar missions through NASA?s Artemis program.

Tropical storm Philippe still disorganized
The National Hurricane Center has highlighted a disturbance several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands in the eastern tropical Atlantic, noting that a tropical depression is likely to form within the next two to three days. If it becomes a tropical storm with winds of at least 39 mph, this system will earn the name Rina.

Cyber attack cripples Bermuda Gov. services
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) ? A major cyberattack has hobbled government operations in Bermuda, with officials struggling to restore service. Premier David Burt said Monday that the government is trying to identify what happened and how, adding that he could not provide details because it was a matter of national security. ?It is clear that this was a sophisticated and deliberate attack that has resulted in unprecedented stress on basic government systems,? he said. The attack occurred Wednesday night and was noticed Thursday morning, Burt said. He said critical areas like transport, education and the island?s hospital have been operating as normal. But he added that it could take a couple of weeks for all services to be fully restored.

NASA spacecraft will deliver asteroid sample
Planet Earth is about to receive a special delivery — the biggest sample yet from an asteroid. A NASA spacecraft will fly by Earth on Sunday and drop off what is expected to be at least a cupful of rubble it grabbed from the asteroid Bennu, closing out a seven-year quest. The sample capsule will parachute into the Utah desert as its mothership, the Osiris-Rex spacecraft, zooms off for an encounter with another asteroid. Scientists anticipate getting about a half pound (250 grams) of pebbles and dust, much more than the teaspoon or so brought back by Japan from two other asteroids. No other country has fetched pieces of asteroids, preserved time capsules from the dawn of our solar system that can help explain how Earth — and life — came to be. Sunday’s landing concludes a 4 billion-mile (6.2-billion-kilometer) journey highlighted by the rendezvous with the carbon-rich Bennu, a unique pogo stick-style touchdown and sample grab, a jammed lid that sent some of the stash spilling into space, and now the return of NASA’s first asteroid samples. “I ask myself how many heart-pounding moments can you have in one lifetime because I feel like I might be hitting my limit,” said the University of Arizona’s Dante Lauretta, the mission’s lead scientist.
