Milky Way and Exploding Meteor
Photo of the Day In about a week the Perseid Meteor Shower will reach its maximum. Grains of icy rock will streak across the sky as they evaporate during entry into Earth's atmosphere. These grains were shed from Comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids result from the annual crossing of the Earth through Comet Swift-Tuttle's orbit, [...]
Fireflies, Meteors, and Milky Way
Photo of the Day Taken on July 29 and July 30, a registered and stacked series of exposures creates this dreamlike view of a northern summer night. Multiple firefly flashes streak across the foreground as the luminous Milky Way arcs above the horizon in the Sierra de Órganos national park of central Mexico, The [...]

Astronauts Practice Next Giant Leap for Artemis
NASA astronaut Doug “Wheels” Wheelock and Axiom Space astronaut Peggy Whitson were fully suited while conducting mission-like maneuvers in the full-scale build of the Starship human landing system’s airlock which will be located inside Starship under the crew cabin. Image Credit: SpaceX
Astronauts Practice Next Giant Leap for Artemis
NASA astronaut Doug "Wheels" Wheelock and Axiom Space astronaut Peggy Whitson were able to test the agility of the spacesuits by conducting movements and tasks similar to those necessary during lunar surface exploration on Artemis missions, such as operating the full-scale mockup of Starship’s elevator gate.

Coronal Loops on the Sun
Photo of the Day Our Sun frequently erupts in loops. Hot solar plasma jumps off the Sun's surface into prominences, with the most common type of prominence being a simple loop. The loop shape originates from the Sun's magnetic field, which is traced by spiraling electrons and protons. Many loops into the Sun's lower [...]
