"Upcoming Planetary Events and Missions"
Managed by NASA official, Dr. David R. Williams. It's an official list of space missions and events, not just by NASA but by other space organizations. Here's the rest of the year:
- 2023 July 14 - Chandrayaan 3 - Launch of ISRO (India) Lunar Orbiter, Lander, and Rover to the Moon
- 2023 August - Luna 25 - Launch of Russian lunar lander
- 2023 August 21 - Parker Solar Probe - NASA solar mission makes sixth Venus flyby
- 2023 September 24 - OSIRIS-Rex - Returns to Earth with sample of asteroid Bennu
- 2023 October 5 - Psyche - Launch of orbiter mission to main belt asteroid 16 Psyche
- 2023 November 1 - Lucy - NASA mission flies by asteroid 1999 VD57
- 2023 November - Intuitive Machines 2 (PRIME-1) - Launch of NASA CLPS lunar rover
- 2023 November - Lunar Trailblazer - Launch of NASA SmallSat mission to study lunar water
- 2023 - Peregrine Mission 1 (TO 2-AB) - Launch of NASA CLPS lunar lander
- 2023 - Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) - Launch of JAXA lunar lander mission
- TBD - Intuitive Machines 1 (TO 2-IM) - Launch of NASA CLPS lunar lander
And this is the last entry on the list:
4,000,000 - Pioneer 11 - NASA flyby of star Lambda Aquila
That last link is a link to a memo from 1995 discussing the end of the Pioneer 11 mission.
After nearly 22 years of exploration out to the farthest reaches of the Solar System, one of the most durable and productive space missions in history will come to a close.
Now beyond the orbit of Pluto and more than four billion miles from Earth, NASA's unmanned Pioneer 11 spacecraft is heading out into interstellar space. Because the spacecraft's power is too low to operate its instruments and transmit data, on September 30 NASA will cease daily communications with the spacecraft. At that distance, faint signals from Pioneer 11 traveling at the speed of light take over six hours to reach Earth.
The spacecraft will continue speeding out into interstellar space toward the center of the Milky Way, taking an engraved gold plaque bearing a message about Earth to other civilizations which it may encounter. Pioneer 11 will pass near the star Lambda Aquila in almost four million years.

Fast X (2023) - 2 out of 5 car explosions
The movie is a montage of cameos, nonsensical plots and over the top stunts all in the name of family. As a die hard fan of the franchise, I loved it. As a moviegoer - wow it was thin.
Publishing in a Medieval Monastery research paper
Free 90 page PDF for download (until at least July 20th).
This Element contributes to the burgeoning field of medieval publishing studies with a case study of the books produced at the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg under its celebrated twelfth-century abbot, Frowin (1143–78). Frowin was the first abbot of Engelberg whose book provision policy relied on domestic production serviced by an internal scribal workforce, and his tenure marked the first major expansion of the community's library. This Element's in-depth discussion of nearly forty colophons inscribed in the books made for this library during Frowin's transformative abbacy offers a fresh perspective on monastic publishing practice in the twelfth century by directing our view to a mode of publication that has received only limited attention in scholarship to date.
