Scientists have finally seen the center of the Milky Way; Boeing is finally all set for the test flight of its Starliner crew vehicle; the Blood Moon lunar eclipse was great for pretty much everyone, except a celebrity scientist; UFO hype man Spo downloads us on the most recent Congressional hearing. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride around the Cosmos.
