official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Description Captured by the multispectral imager instrument on NASA’s Psyche mission, this is an enhanced-color view of the large double-ring crater Huygens (upper left; about 290 miles, or 470 kilometers, in diameter) and the surrounding heavily cratered southern highlands near 15 degrees south latitude. The various colors in this dramaticContinue reading “NASA’s Psyche Mission Images Mars’ Huygens Crater”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Description This is the highest-resolution view of the water ice-rich south polar cap of Mars captured by NASA’s Psyche mission after it made its close approach with the planet for a gravity assist. The image scale is around 0.7 miles per pixel (1.14 kilometers per pixel). The cap itself extendsContinue reading “Psyche’s High-Resolution View of Mars’ South Pole”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Description This view of a crescent Mars was captured on May 15, 2026, at about 5:03 a.m. PDT by NASA’s Psyche mission as it approached the planet for a gravity assist. Captured by the spacecraft’s multispectral imager instrument, this was the last view of the whole planet before it beganContinue reading “NASA’s Psyche Mission Images the Crescent of Mars”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Description This is Psyche’s first view of a nearly “full Mars” seen shortly after the spacecraft’s closest approach to the planet on May 15, 2026. The view extends from the south polar cap northwards to the Valles Marineris canyon system and beyond. With Mars in the rearview mirror, the spacecraftContinue reading “NASA’s Psyche Mission Sees Mars’ South Pole After Flyby”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Psyche spacecraft completed its close approach of Mars on May 15, coming within 2,864 miles (4,609 kilometers) of the planet’s surface. This flyby used a gravity assist from Mars to provide a critical boost in speed and to adjust the spacecraft’s orbital plane without using any onboard propellant, sendingContinue reading “NASA’s Psyche Mission Aces Mars Flyby, Targets Metal-Rich Asteroid”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The Moon and Venus, center, are seen in conjunction above the Washington Monument, Monday, May 18, 2026, as viewed from the Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters Building in Washington. The Moon and Venus look close together because they line up from our point of view on Earth. In reality, theyContinue reading “Moon-Venus Conjunction”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Artemis II crew had many technical and operational responsibilities during their historic mission to the Moon, but they also served an important role as scientific ambassadors to Earth’s nearest neighbor. On their 10-day journey, the crew flew by the far side of the Moon, analyzing and photographing geologic featuresContinue reading “Johnson’s Cindy Evans Prepares Artemis Teams for Lunar Science”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has collected more than ten years of data from this zone – more than scientists can analyze alone. As Shock Detectives, you’ll help sort the chaotic from peaceful regions of the data, giving researchers a crucial set of clues.
