M74: A Grand Design Spiral
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: For All Humanity
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 [...]
The Sky Turns Above Paranal
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 [...]
Work Continues for NASA’s SLS Spacer Hardware
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 [...]

Colorful Aurora over Icelandic Waterfall
Photo of the Day What a sight to behold, when a night sky became filled with colors that appeared to rain over the Skógafoss waterfall in Iceland. This image was taken in a single 5 second exposure by the photographer in April 2025. Seeing an aurora is on many people's bucket lists. But it [...]
JWST Images The Lion’s Head Nebula
Photo of the Day Are we looking at the future of our Sun? The James Webb Space Telescope captured today’s composite image of the Lion’s Head Nebula (NGC 2392) with its NIRCam and MIRI instruments. The Lion’s Head Nebula is the remnant of a Sun-like star. This star was unable to sustain the nuclear [...]
Earth’s Shadow Visualized with Lunar Eclipses
Photo of the Day What’s creating this giant hole in space? This is not a black hole — it’s a shadow. It’s Earth’s shadow. Since at least the time of Aristotle, people have noted that Earth's dark shadow on the Moon during a partial lunar eclipse is circular -- although never a whole circle. [...]
