We have to admit that 2022 was an impressive year for space science, what with JWST starting to collect science data and even releasing early results, the launch and return of the Artemis 1 mission, the DART mission, a NASA Juno flyby of Europa, and the end of the NASA InSight lander mission. And that was just NASA's part of the activity! China, Japan, and South Korea all launched missions, while commercial launches and space tourism continued to increase.
2023 is definitely shaping up to match. There are more potential mission launches for NASA, ESA, China, India, and Japan; a total solar eclipse; a sample return; more Juno flybys; and even a comet or two that can be seen with the unaided eye. Join SETI Institute senior scientist Franck Marchis and communications specialist Beth Johnson as they take a look at what's in store for the new year.
