Friday will be a wet day for millions of people from Maine to Georgia. A weather system that will slowly move out to sea during the day is bringing mainly rain to areas along the East Coast, while some snow falls in parts of the Northeast and New England.
A powerful storm is expected to bring nasty weather from coast to coast next week. The forecast calls for rain and mountain snow along the West Coast starting Monday. Eventually, the storm will likely bring severe weather and snow to much of the central U.S. There is also a high chance of windy weather.
A lander built by Houston-based Intuitive Machines landed on the Moon on Thursday. It was the first private lander to reach the lunar surface and the first American landing on the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972.
After troubleshooting communications, flight controllers confirmed the lander was upright and starting to send data. Crews are still working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface.
