This week in space: The stellar things you missed


NASA happeningsTwo historic NASA missions ran out of fuel this week: the 11-year Dawn mission to explore the two biggest objects in the asteroid belt and the nine-year Kepler Space Telescope mission that discovered thousands of exoplanets. Meanwhile, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is back in business and making observations again. The backup was recovered, so expect more gorgeous images from the famed space telescope. Many astronomers assume that a supermassive black hole is at the center of the Milky Way, our galaxy. New data from the Gaia satellite mission, published this week, revealed that 10 billion years ago, the Milky Way merged with another large galaxy, Gaia-Enceladus.
