This week in space stuff:

• Video coming today on dark energy
• First science results from the ESA’s dark matter/energy observatory Euclid expected Thursday
• Possible geomagnetic storm May 24-25, but likely nothing as strong as the one that made the aurora so visible
• Boeing Starliner currently scheduled for launch Saturday May 25, but this could slip further
