NASA Armstrong’s Contributions to Artemis
NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, has a storied history of spaceflight and aeronautics research. Today, the center carries on the traditions of Neil Armstrong, and others, by supporting NASA's return to the Moon with Artemis Il and follow on space missions.
Orion POV: Destination and Home
art002e009567 (April 6, 2026) - NASA’s Orion spacecraft captures the Moon and the Earth in one frame during the Artemis II crew’s deep space journey at 6:42 p.m. ET on the sixth day of the mission. The right side of NASA’s Orion spacecraft is seen lit up by the Sun. A waxing crescent Moon is [...]
IC 4592: The Blue Horsehead Reflection Nebula
Photo of the Day Do you see the horse's head? What you are seeing is not the famous Horsehead nebula toward Orion, but rather a fainter nebula that only takes on a familiar form with deeper imaging. The main part of the here-imaged molecular cloud complex is reflection nebula IC 4592. Reflection nebulas are [...]

NGC 3310: A Starburst Spiral Galaxy
Photo of the Day The party is still going on in spiral galaxy NGC 3310. Roughly 100 million years ago, NGC 3310 likely collided with a smaller galaxy causing the large spiral galaxy to light up with a tremendous burst of star formation. The changing gravity during the collision created density waves that compressed [...]
Orion and the Moon on Flight Day 2

Caught in the Web: Visualization of a Black Hole Merger in the Tarantula Nebula
Photo of the Day How can we see what is invisible? Black holes are not easy to see in the dark cosmic night, but astronomers can find them by analyzing their gravitational effects on matter, light and spacetime. The featured image shows an illustration that combines a simulation of a black hole binary system [...]
