"Feline Star: Taters the Tabby Steals the Show in NASA's Deep Space Laser Video"

TL;DR Summary
An orange tabby cat named Taters steals the show in the first video transmitted by laser from deep space. The 15-second ultra-high-definition video was beamed to Earth from NASA's Psyche spacecraft, showcasing Taters chasing a red laser light. The test demonstrated the potential for improved communications from deep space, with data transmission rates up to 100 times greater than current radio systems used by spacecraft. More test transmissions are planned as Psyche heads towards the main asteroid belt, but Taters will not be making any more appearances.
