The Hubble Space Telescope, a powerful camera in space run by NASA and ESA, took an incredible photo of a galaxy called NGC 3511. This galaxy, tilted at a cool 70-degree angle, looks like a glowing spiral in the sky, almost like a cosmic Vincent van Gogh painting that grabs your attention.
It’s 4:27 a.m. on Mars, the sky is murky before dawn, and NASA’s Perseverance rover points its camera up to catch a quick view of Deimos, the smaller of Mars’ two moons, shining softly like a faint light in the black sky. The image, snapped on March 1, 2025, during the rover’s 1,433rd Martian day (or sol), isn’t just a pretty picture—it’s a technical marvel and a haunting reminder of how alien yet familiar the Red Planet’s skies can feel.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has given us amazing new details about Jupiter’s auroras, using its powerful infrared tools to take clear pictures of the planet’s upper atmosphere and glowing auroral areas.
NASA and ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope took a beautiful picture of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which looks like cosmic cotton candy. Using Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3, the image combines different filters to display a vibrant blend of gas clouds and stars.

Why use a shipping container for a lunar project? FLEXHab (Future Lunar Exploration Habitat) is a genuine project, not a sci-fi fantasy, developed by SAGA Space Architects alongside the European Space Agency (ESA) and German Aerospace Center (DLR), based at the LUNA facility in Cologne, Germany’s European Astronaut Centre (EAC), to mimic life and work on the Moon.
NASA’s Universe of Learning project turns a James Webb Space Telescope image of the Cosmic Cliffs into an amazing 3D visualization. This is a star-forming area in the Carina Nebula Complex, specifically in the Gum 31 nebula, where the young star cluster NGC 3324 lives.
NASA’s sonification of black holes turns space data into sounds to show different parts of black holes and their surroundings. This uses info from telescopes like NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), and others to make three cosmic soundscapes.
Here’s a close-up look at JAXA’s Int-Ball2, a free-flying, autonomous camera robot made to help astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS), especially in the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM), called “Kibo.” It’s basically an improved version of the original Int-Ball, with better features to lighten astronauts’ workloads and assist ground teams.
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover took a picture of a rock that looks like a skull on April 11, 2025, in Jezero Crater, at a spot called Port Anson on the slopes of Witch Hazel Hill. The rock was even nicknamed “Skull Hill” by scientists, as it’s a dark, rough formation that stands out against the lighter, dusty ground.
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captured a close-up of NGC 3596, a spiral galaxy about 90 million light-years away in the Leo constellation. The picture shows its tidy spiral arms, bright pink areas where stars are born, and young blue stars.
