Hey, Space Fans! We're starting this week off with something we've all been waiting for a long time: The "stranded" Boeing Starliner astroanuts are finally beginning their trip home.

Tonight, NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, alongside NASA's Nick Hague and Russia's Aleksandr Gorbunov, will depart the ISS and prepare for their trip home. Williams and Wilmore are 9 months into a planned 10-day mission due to Boeing Starliner capsule issues.

N.A.S.A.'s Voyager has encountered 305 objects

Voyager is more than 8 million miles away.  It is speculated that all the objects are communicating with each other.  It doesn't appear that these 305 objects are just basic space debris as they don't show what standard comments would look like. NASA cannot figure out the propulsion of these 305 objects moving towards Earth. Amateur radio enthusiasts around the planet are picking up blips and different types of static now.  These anomalies are lining up with Voyager's same data being transmitted back to Earth. These blips and static are being rhythmic but not strong. Is this bleed through or intentional?  Is someone out there testing the Earth's capability of how it listens in space. NASA started to encrypt data between Voyager and NASA.  NASA started to look at past data from all deep space vehicles...
