Recently, a dying star has been spotted by scientists that has swallowed a planet, which provides insight into Earth's eventual fate in five billion years.  Starlink just launched its 4,000nth working satellite, great news or too much?  And the Czech Republic just became the 24th country to sign NASA's Artemis Accords.  All this and more on today's space brief.

Welcome to the Undiscovered Country!  This is part of my Space Brief series where I outline the top 5 most important things that are happening in the world of space.  This is not going to be a super polished and super edited presentation, but a short overview of important events including some commentary about why it all matters.  This is not a one-sided presentation, it’s a discussion.  Did I get the stories right?  Did I miss an important consideration?  Join the conversation and let me know!
