How long does it take to get to space? Before we answer this question, we need to define what 'space' is.
The Kármán Line marks the official line between Earth's atmosphere and 'space' and is defined as being 100 km (62 miles) above mean sea level.
New images from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal glowing cavities of dust and enormous bubbles of gas lining the spiral arms of nearby galaxies.
The images are part of a study of 19 different galaxies by astronomers using the Webb Telescope, in order to discover how the formation of new stars impacts the evolution of the huge galactic structures in which they reside.
The materials that form the building blocks of life on Earth have been found in distant planet-forming discs that are the same size as the Solar System.
Our Solar System formed from a dusty ring of cosmic material circling the Sun, when our host star was still just a stellar newborn.

HOUSTON, Feb 17 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil exports that have been boosted by a trade flow reshuffle in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine will remain elevated this year as Europe and Asia search for supplies, company officials and analysts said.

Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin und der belarussische Staatschef Alexander Lukaschenko haben in Moskau über die Zusammenarbeit beider Länder in Wirtschafts- und Sicherheitsfragen gesprochen. Dabei unterstrich Lukaschenko nach russischen Agenturberichten die technologische Kooperation der zwei verbündeten, aber international isolierten Nachbarstaaten. Sie lasse die Sanktionen ins Leere laufen, die wegen des russischen Angriffs auf die Ukraine verhängt worden sind, behauptete er.
Die Länder des Westens hätten Russland und Belarus nicht um ihr Potenzial in der Computertechnologie gebracht, sagte Lukaschenko bei dem Treffen in Putins Residenz Nowo-Ogarjowo. Auch produziere Belarus jetzt schon etwa 1.000 Bauteile für die zivilen russischen Flugzeuge MS-21 und Suchoi Superjet. Sein Land sei mit etwas russischer Hilfe auch in der Lage, Erdkampfflugzeuge herzustellen, sagte Lukaschenko. Solche Maschinen dienen der Unterstützung eigener Infanterie-Einheiten und können gegnerische Ziele am Boden angreifen.
