NASA Telescopes Reveal New Details of Pulsar Inside Lighthouse Nebula

NASA released a composite image on July 9, 2026, capturing the region surrounding a pulsar within the Lighthouse Nebula. The pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star characterized by an exceptionally strong magnetic field. The image was produced by combining data from two NASA observatories: the Chandra X-ray Observatory, contributing purple X-ray imagery, and the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), contributing blue X-ray data. Together, the two instruments provide a multi-layered view of the high-energy environment around the pulsar.

NASA's Psyche Spacecraft Captures Enhanced-Color Images of Mars During Flyby

NASA's Psyche mission captured detailed images of the Martian surface during a flyby on May 15, 2026. The spacecraft's multispectral imager instrument recorded four individual images that were later combined into an enhanced-color mosaic. Psyche was traveling in a northeast-to-southwest direction across Mars during the imaging sequence. The entire image acquisition process took approximately six minutes to complete. The flyby marks a notable milestone for the mission as Psyche continues its journey through the solar system.
