Happy New Year 2018. One of the toughest choices we made last year was to not write a full astronomical guide for 2018. We've done this in one iteration or another now for about a decade, but an ongoing project (also astronomical in nature) has consumed most of our writing hours... but we recently realized that we can still take stock in what's in the sky for the year ahead... and give you a sneak peek at part of our project for the end of 2018.

In preparation for the inaugural launch of the Falcon Heavy rocket, SpaceX recently released pictures of Musk's Tesla Roadster being loaded aboard the rocket's payload fairing.
