·1 views

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for September 8, 2026, features a Hubble Space Telescope image revealing a decagonal, or ten-sided, formation around Saturn's south pole. The image was selected as part of APOD's daily showcase of notable astronomical photographs, each accompanied by an explanation from a professional astronomer. Saturn is already known for its famous hexagonal storm system at its north pole, making this southern polar geometric pattern a subject of significant scientific interest. The Hubble Space Telescope captured the imagery, continuing its long history of providing detailed observations of planets within our solar system.

Satellite Captures Volcanic Glow at Mount Michael as Antarctic Winter Ends

A NASA satellite has captured a rare clear view of Mount Michael, an active volcano located on Saunders Island in the remote South Atlantic Ocean. The image reveals a bright spot indicative of ongoing volcanic activity at the summit. The sighting was made possible as cloud cover dissipated near the end of the austral winter season. Mount Michael is one of the few volcanoes known to host a persistent lava lake, making such observations scientifically significant. Remote location and frequent cloud cover typically make regular monitoring of the volcano difficult.
