In April 2026, we flew humans to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years during the Artemis II mission. But this mission was only the beginning. Soon after, the crew of Artemis III was announced: NASA astronauts Randy Bresnik, Andre Douglas, Frank Rubio, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Luca Parmitano. Their [...]
Photo of the Day How do animals react to a total solar eclipse? The featured image shows a stork roosting on her nest in Poland at a partial phase of the recent total solar eclipse. If you are lucky enough to experience a total eclipse somewhere quiet and close to nature, you may be [...]

Photo of the Day If not the most grand, then this spiral galaxy is at least one of the most photogenic. An island universe of about 100 billion stars, 32 million light-years away toward the constellation Pisces, M74 presents a gorgeous face-on view. Classified as an Sc galaxy, the grand design of M74's graceful [...]
Artemis II marked the first astronaut journey to the Moon in over 50 years — a 10-day test flight that carried NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen 252,756 miles from Earth before splashing down off the coast of San Diego. This mission tested Orion’s life-support, navigation, and deep-space systems [...]
Photo of the Day At the latitude of ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile, about 25 degrees south, Earth's rotation moves the planet's surface eastward at over 1,500 kilometers per hour. And while that's faster than the speed of sound at sea level, the motion is imperceptible. Still, that motion can be revealed in the [...]
These images show the spacer that will be used on NASA’s (SLS) Space Launch System for the Artemis III mission. At NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, technicians are seen lifting the hardware onto the robotic weld tool in preparation to install the forward ring on the bottom of the barrel section. The [...]
