NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first near-infrared observation of Saturn, highlighting details in the planet’s atmosphere and rings.
The Kepler mission has discovered two new planetary systems that include three super-Earth-size planets in the “habitable zone,” the range of distance from a star where the surface temperature of an orbiting planet might be suitable for liquid water. The Kepler-62 system has five planets; 62b, 62c, 62d, 62e and 62f. The Kepler-69 system has … Continue reading "Habitable Worlds? New Kepler Planetary Systems in Images"

The images in this gallery could be Damien Hirst spin paintings or examples of pop art, but they are actually maps of the planets, moons and asteroids in our solar system created from information gleaned by spacecraft and telescopes.
Speaking in Ithaca, N.Y., today (Oct. 13) at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences, a team led by UW-Madison researcher Lawrence Sromovsky shared crisp new Keck II telescope images of Uranus as it changed seasons.
This stunning image captures a small region on the edge of the inky Coalsack Nebula, or Caldwell 99.

New Hubble image shows the demise of a sunlike star. Our own sun will also burn out and shroud itself with stellar debris, but not for another 5 billion years.
The ghostly Boomerang Nebula, coldest known place in the universe, reveals its true shape in this image from the giant ALMA radio telescope. Learn more on EarthSky.

Editor's note: Hey Flickr friends, the Marshall Center is still closed due to lack of electricity, but I have power at home. Time to get back to posting photos. :) The Parana River floodplain in northern Argentina is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 27 crew member on the International Space Station. This image shows a 29-kilometer stretch of the Parana River, South America's second largest river, downstream of the small city of Goya (barely distinguishable as grayer surfaces in the extreme top left corner of the image). The Parana River ranges up to three kilometers wide along the reach illustrated in the image. Its strong brown color indicates that it is carrying a heavy load of muddy sediment. Smaller active side channels also carry this muddy water. Numerous lakes are typical on active floodplains, and appear here as irregular bodies of water. Some appear brown, indicating that they have been refilled during recent higher flood levels of the active channels. The main channel Parana River (top) is deep enough to allow smaller ocean-going ships to pass north of the illustrated region to the capital city of Asuncion in landlocked Paraguay, fully 1,200 kilometers inland (well out of the image). The Parana River is thus an important transportation route for landlocked cities such as Asuncion and inland cities of eastern landlocked Bolivia and inland Brazil. The Parana floodplain occupies the entire image; it is so wide -- 18 kilometers -- that its banks are not visible. Numerous curved, or meandering past channels are the most prominent characteristic of the floodplain. These indicate prior positions of rivers. As river beds move laterally by natural processes, they leave remnants of their channels, which appear as lakes, and finally fill with mud. This is an excellent image for illustrating these meander forms. From a geological standpoint it is interesting that almost all the past channels are similar in curvature to the smaller active side rivers; almost no forms show, in any obvious way, prior positions of the main, very wide Parana channel. The reverse might be expected since the main channel is so dominant in the modern landscape. Image credit: NASA Original image: spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/crew-27/html/...

Watching the various playing styles of different countries in the World Cup this year got me thinking about all the things that influence how each team plays the game. Culture is certainly a big one, genetics is another. But what about the terrain? Do countries dominated by deserts play differently than those that are lush […]
For thousands of years, we wondered what they were. Today, at last, they're finally understood, categorized and more spectacular than ever.
The Ring Nebula's true shape - revealed in this composite image made in visible light and infrared - is vastly more intricate than astronomers knew. Learn more on EarthSky.
The James Webb Space Telescope, which has wowed the world with gorgeous images, stores its data on a relatively small 68 GB drive - that's enough to hold only a day's worth of images.
Star NGC 2392 lies about 4,200 light years from earth. A photo released by NASA reveals that the end of this planetary nebula is a particularly striking sight.
Astronomers unveiled new pictures and observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, the first images released since an astronaut crew refurbished the telescope in May.
