The Suborbital Imaging Spectrograph for Transition region Irradiance from Nearby Exoplanet host stars, or SISTINE, mission launched aboard a NASA sounding rocket from the Arnhem Space Center in Northern Australia on July 6, 2022, at 9:47 a.m. EDT (11:17 p.m. ACST). The mission helped astronomers understand how starlight influences a planet's atmosphere, possibly making or breaking its ability to support life as we know it.

What would cause a wind pattern that held for at least 60 years to suddenly change? NASA scientists are working to understand the recent quirky behavior of winds in Earth's stratosphere.

This is a numerical simulation of the orientation of Nix as seen from the center of the Pluto system. It has been sped up so that one orbit of Nix around Pluto takes 2 seconds instead of 25 days. Large wobbles are visible, and occasionally the pole flips over. This tumbling behavior meets the formal definition of chaos; the orientation of Nix is fundamentally unpredictable.

This visualization journeys into the famous star-forming region of the Orion Nebula based on an image from the Hubble Space Telescope. This exhilarating trip begins by flying through a layer of gas above the nebula, called the "veil." The descent to the gaseous surface provides an overview of the structure of the region as the winds and radiation from the central cluster have carved out a long "valley" in the cloud. The massive bright stars are responsible for heating the gas to temperatures at which it glows. For more about NASA Hubble, go to: http://www.nasa.gov/

This animation shows glacier changes detected by ATM, ICESat and ice bridge data in the highly dynamic Amundsen Embayment of West Antarctica. Integrating these altimetry sources allows us to estimate surface height changes throughout the drainage regions of the most important glaciers in the region. We see large elevation changes at the coast on Thwaites glacier, at the center of the images, and large and accelerating elevation changes extending inland from the coast on Pine Island and Smith glaciers, to the left and right of the images, respectively.

In the center left of Pluto's vast heart-shaped feature - informally named "Tombaugh Regio" - lies a vast, craterless plain that appears to be no more than 100 million years old, and is possibly still being shaped by geologic processes. This frozen region is north of Pluto's icy mountains and has been informally named Sputnik Planum (Sputnik Plain), after Earth's first artificial satellite. NASA NASA Video

This visualization tracks the trajectory of the Voyager 1 spacecraft through the solar system. Launched on Sept. 5, 1977, it was one of two spacecraft sent to visit the giant planets of the outer solar system. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn before being directed out of the solar system.

When the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, it causes the moon to look very unusual for a short period of time. This event is called a lunar eclipse, and it occurs roughly twice a year. Learn more about how lunar eclipses work in this video! Credit goes to TheWusa from de.wikipedia.org for the illustrations that this video slight scattering animations are based on. (Dec. 10, 2011, eclipse)

NASA TV provided coverage of Super Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse on Jan. 31. The full moon was the third in a series of "supermoons," when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit - - known as perigee -- and about 14 percent brighter than usual. It was also the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a "blue moon. As the super blue moon passed through Earth's shadow, viewers in some locations experienced a total lunar eclipse. While in Earth's shadow, the moon also took on a reddish tint - which is sometimes referred to as a "blood moon."

On June 15, NASA's Swift caught the onset of a rare X-ray outburst from a stellar-mass black hole in the binary system V404 Cygni. Astronomers around the world are watching the event. In this system, a stream of gas from a star much like the sun flows toward a 10 solar mass black hole. Instead of spiraling toward the black hole, the gas accumulates in an accretion disk around it. Every couple of decades, the disk switches into a state that sends the gas rushing inward, starting a new outburst.

Comet ISON moves ever closer to the sun in this movie from the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, captured in the early hours of Nov. 27, 2013. A coronal mass ejection explodes off the sun -- it is unlikely to damage ISON even if they cross paths. Credit: ESA/NASA/SOHO Download this video at http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/

NASA's Dragonfly rotorcraft-lander is seen approaching Saturn's exotic moon Titan in this animation. Taking advantage of Titan's dense atmosphere and low gravity, Dragonfly will explore dozens of locations across the icy world, sampling and measuring the compositions of Titan's organic surface materials to characterize the habitability of Titan's environment and investigate the progression of prebiotic chemistry.

Side-by-side movies shows how dust has enveloped the Red Planet, courtesy of the Mars Color Imager (MARCI) camera onboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). The view from May shows Valles Marineris chasms (left), Meridiani center, an autumn dust storm in Acidalia (top) and the early spring south polar cap (bottom). The view from July shows the same regions, but most of the surface was obscured by the planet-encircling dust cloud and haze. See NASA Feature: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/storm-ch...

Expedition 3 Commander Frank Culbertson says "it's important for people to continue to learn the lessons" from the tragedy of September 11, and make ourselves a better nation. Culbertson was aboard the International Space Station at the time of the attacks, and the only American off the planet. He captured incredible images of New York City in the minutes and hours following the event.

An X1.6 class solar flare flashes in the middle of the sun on Sept. 10, 2014. These images were captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. It first shows the flare in the 171 Angstrom wavelength, which is typically colorized in gold. It then zooms in to show the flare in a blended 171 and 304 Angstrom wavelength. The 304 wavelength is typically colorized in red. Credit: NASA/SDO/Goddard To download this video visit: http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/ a010000/...

In this episode of The Quiet Crew, you'll meet Matthew Zu, NASA's life support systems lead for the Quest mission. Matthew immigrated to the U.S. from China when he was seven. In addition to being an engineer, he recently discovered oil painting and says it helps him build inspiration for his technical work. He is part of the crew on a mission to transform aviation as NASA and communities work together to verify that the X-59's quiet, supersonic design can turn a sonic boom into a sonic thump. This new technology, along with a potential change in regulations, will allow airliners to fly faster over land, cutting passenger travel time in half without disturbing people on the ground. For more information about NASA's quiet supersonic mission,

This mosaic combines more than 900 images from all 24-by-90-degree sectors surveyed by NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) through October 2022. The mosaic covers 93% of the sky and builds up in chronological order, illustrating the mission's progress over the past five years. TESS has discovered 329 new worlds and thousands more candidates, and provided new insights into a variety of cosmic phenomena. A prominent feature in the mosaic is the Milky Way, a glowing -shaped band that represents the bright central plane of our galaxy.

Gamma-rav bursts are the most luminous explosions in the cosmos. Astronomers think most occur when the core of a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel, collapses under its own weight, and forms a black hole. The black hole then drives jets of particles that drill all the way through the collapsing star at nearly the speed of light. Artist's rendering.
