Voyager 1 distance check: Currently 15.79 billion miles from Earth. ✅ This time next year, Voyager 1 will be one light-DAY away – meaning it will take light a whole 24 hours to travel between Earth and the spacecraft. For comparison: Mars is usually ~12 light-MINUTES from…

It's Black Hole Friday! This computer simulation shows a gas cloud encountering two supermassive black holes. As gravitational and frictional forces meet, the cloud condenses and heats. Each time the black holes orbit, some of the gas is ejected. Learn how scientists use…

“First light” for NASA’s ESCAPADE mission! 🚀 📸 These images, taken on Nov. 21, 2025, are ESCAPADE’s “first light,” or first images taken from space. Just about a week after launch, one of the two Mars-bound spacecraft took these images as part of the commissioning process,…

#OTD in 1969, the Apollo 12 lunar module "Intrepid" landed on the Moon, just 538 feet away from the Surveyor 3 spacecraft. This photo, a close up of Surveyor 3 with the Apollo 12 LM in the background, shows the stunning accuracy of the precision landing.

Dear God, the absolute garbage being posted by anti-science nutters in response to the NASA images of Comet 3i! The disrespect for science & scientists, the lack of basic science education, just appalling & depressing. Not helped by Phoney Stark posting "Alienz".

Here’s an annotated version of our comet image. We also want to thank our downlink and uplink teams who spent a huge amount of time working on this. Our camera was not designed to image interstellar objects 19 million miles away, but their hard work and planning paid off.

We've just released the latest images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, as observed by eight different spacecraft, satellites, and telescopes. Here's what we've learned about the comet — and how we're studying it across the solar system: go.nasa.gov/4o3hp92

LIVE: See the latest images of comet 3I/ATLAS, the third object we've ever seen passing through our solar system from elsewhere in the galaxy. We’re sharing what we know about this visiting comet, how we’re studying it, and what we can learn from it.

皆さん、おはようございます! 今日は、山の女神達に好かれていた?ようで、ヒマラヤ山脈の山々も素晴らしい天気の中で私を迎えてくれました。 皆さんにもその様子を共有しますね! タイムラプス映像で短い時間に多くの場所をみるのも良いですが、実際の時間の流れで景色を堪能するのも良いですよね!

I’ve still never seen aurora from below, but up here, it’s a frequent show. Last week’s was especially good. See if you can spot Houston, Florida, and the northern lights all in one frame, before we head out across the Gulf and some great lightning storms over South America at…
