Monday, April 14, was a big day for space exploration, as millions watched Blue Origin successfully complete Flight NS-31 — the company’s first-ever all-female flight.
The trip to the edge of space and back lasted roughly eight minutes in the New Shepard rocket and included a few famous faces among the six women who took the voyage, such as singer Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King and philanthropist Lauren Sánchez.
But the buzz-worthy flight wasn’t the only “star” making headlines in space on Monday morning.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was able to capture the most detailed image to date of another famous “star” — Planetary Nebula NGC 1514, which came into full focus for the first time ever.
In the photograph, the gas and dust cheekily resembles two doughnuts, and Krispy Kreme is taking advantage of the out-of-this-world coincidence.

On Monday, April 14, Krispy Kreme is giving away two free Original Glazed Doughnuts to all guests from 5 PM to 7 PM, at participating US locations.
The doughnut chain is also running a second promotion on Tuesday, April 15 for Tax Day where all customers who purchase a box of a dozen doughnuts will receive a second box of a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for the price of just the sales tax.
Online shoppers can also enter the code TAXBREAK to receive a second Original Glazed dozen for free after placing an order for a dozen doughnuts of any variety.
