This illustration depicts material in a swirling disk actively falling into a supermassive black hole. A powerful jet of particles shoots away from the black hole, extending upwards and to the right.

This artist’s concept of the large Quetzalpetlatl Corona located in Venus’ southern hemisphere depicts active volcanism and a subduction zone, where the foreground crust plunges into the planet’s interior. A new study suggests coronae are the locations of several types of tectonic activity. NASA/JPL-Caltech/Peter Rubin

This artist’s concept shows the Moon’s hot interior and volcanism about 2 to 3 billion years ago. It is thought that volcanic activity on the lunar near side (the side facing Earth) helped create a landscape dominated by vast plains called mare, which are formed by molten rock that cooled and solidified.

NASA’s twin Voyager spacecraft, launched in 1977, are now traveling through interstellar space at around 35,000 mph (56,000 kph). This artist’s concept depicts one of the probes speeding away. NASA/JPL-Caltech

This new image features one of the Milky Way’s cosmic “bones,” known as G359.13142-0.20005—or G359.13 for short—also nicknamed the Snake. X-ray data from NASA’s Chandra Observatory (in blue) and radio data from South Africa’s MeerKAT array (in gray) reveal a striking feature: a visible break in the otherwise continuous structure of G359.13. By combining these two datasets, researchers are uncovering clues about what may have caused this fracture.

NASA’s Curiosity rover appears as a dark speck in this contrast-enhanced image taken on February 28, 2025, by the HiRISE camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Behind the rover, its tracks stretch across the Martian surface — marks that can remain visible for months before being swept away by the wind. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona

The asteroid Donaldjohanson, captured by NASA’s Lucy spacecraft using its Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (L’LORRI), appears in one of the mission’s most detailed images to date. This photo was taken on April 20, 2025, at 1:51 p.m. EDT (17:51 UTC), about 40 seconds before Lucy’s closest approach, from a distance of approximately 660 miles (1,100 km). Although the spacecraft came within 600 miles (960 km) of the asteroid, this image—taken just prior—was selected for its clarity. It has been sharpened and contrast-enhanced for better visibility.

On April 30, 2023, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured an image of its tracks fading into the distance at a location nicknamed “Ubajara.” This is the site where Curiosity discovered siderite—a mineral that may offer clues about what happened to Mars’ once-thicker ancient atmosphere.

This artist’s impression shows a magnetar—a rare type of neutron star with an extraordinarily powerful magnetic field. Neutron stars are among the most compact and extreme objects in the universe, typically containing more mass than the Sun compressed into a sphere only about 12 miles wide. In the image, the neutron star appears as a white-blue sphere, with magnetic field lines illustrated as filaments streaming from its poles.
