2025 Year in Pictures


SPACE: Orbit of Uncertainty


On June 13, 2024, NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams floated inside the vestibule of the Boeing Starliner and the forward port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module, moments after docking. Launched on June 5 for an eight-day test mission, the first crewed Starliner flight encountered serious propulsion and thruster failures — forcing NASA to scrap the capsule’s return home and strand the crew for nine months, until March 18 this year. They were finally rescued when Elon Musk sent one of his SpaceX rockets to bring them home.


ELON MUSK: Dogefather’s Departure


Standing beside President Donald Trump in the Oval Ofice on May 30 — still sporting a visibly bruised right eye Elon Musk blamed on roughhousing with his 5-year- old son — as he formally exited his role leading the DOGE initiative. In the brief, whirlwind tenure he helmed, Musk’s Department of Government Eficiency aimed to slash federal spending by trillions, but analysts estimate it delivered just a fraction of that goal while coinciding with a 48% drop in Tesla Inc. stock from its 2024 peak.


POPE: New Dawn, Old Mantle


On May 8, the Catholic Church witnessed a historic moment as Chicago-born Robert Francis Prevost was elected as Pope Leo XIV, becoming the first American- born pontiff. He assumed the seat of the late Pope Francis — who passed away on April 21 — marking a solemn yet hopeful handover in a turbulent era for the church.
