Illustration depicting the life cycle of a star, from the formation in a stellar nursery like the Lupus 3 cloud, to infancy as T Tauri stars, and finally to a planetary nebula phase illustrated by the Helix Nebula, highlighting the process of cosmic recycling.
A breathtaking Webb image captures the vastness of deep space, showcasing an array of galaxies in dazzling shapes and colors. Prominent blue spirals and pale elliptical galaxies stand out among a sea of medium-sized orange and red galaxies, with even smaller and fainter celestial bodies scattered like cosmic confetti.

Ground-based VISTA and space-based Webb telescopes capture the Helix Nebula from different perspectives. The left image shows the nebula's expansive view, with a highlighted section showing Webb’s detailed examination on the right.
Proba-3's eclipse technology captures the solar corona in breathtaking detail.
A tranquil tapestry of cosmic gas and dust, teeming with hidden star formation activity.
New data from the Perseverance rover challenges the "Cold & Icy" theory, suggesting ancient Mars was drenched in persistent heavy rainfall for millions of years.
Mars today is a frozen desert. But 4 billion years ago, during the Noachian Epoch, it was a very different world. Evidence of river valleys and lake beds is undeniable, but the climate that created them is hotly debated.
An interstellar comet is speeding out of our solar system at 60 km/s. We missed the chance to launch directly. But we can still catch it—by diving into the Sun.
3I/ATLAS is the third interstellar object (ISO) ever detected. Like 'Oumuamua and Borisov before it, it's a visitor from another star system.
We need satellites to save the Earth, but launching them endangers space itself. A new model helps designers balance vital data against the risk of collision.
Earth-observation satellites are critical for tracking climate change and disasters. But with 11,800 active satellites and predictions of 100,000 soon, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is becoming a junkyard.
