The world is celebrating the 45th anniversary of Apollo 11's leap to the moon, many people are now eying the celestial body's bounty of resources. But it is not clear at this time, who and how these resources can be extracted and yielded from the moon. This leads to a growing debate within economic, scientific, and policy spheres — a debate made more complex by the changing landscape of participants in space.

The Great Wall of China may not be visible from space, but from the International Space Station (ISS) the bombardment on Gaza is.

A German astronaut has captured a striking photograph of rocket fire and explosions above the bloodshed.

Flight engineer Alexander Gerst, who is currently in the middle of a six-month stay on the ISS, took the image from 200 miles above Earth.

The 38-year-old shared the image with his 85,000 Twitter followers yesterday evening, calling it his “saddest photo yet”.

In the photo, streams of light appear to illustrate the trajectory of Israeli rockets, while sparks of light illuminate the explosions.
