NASA Photographer Shoots Stunning Aerial Images of Washington from F-18

NASA flight photographer Jim Ross, based at Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, captured a series of aerial images over Washington from aboard an F-18 aircraft. The photographs offer a rare bird's-eye perspective that few people ever get to experience firsthand. Ross's work is part of NASA's broader effort to visually document its flight research missions in action. These images serve a dual purpose: recording key agency research and giving the general public a behind-the-scenes look at NASA's operations.

ISS Captures Waxing Gibbous Moon Over Indian Ocean

NASA released an image of the waxing gibbous Moon taken from the International Space Station on June 26, 2026. The station was orbiting approximately 264 miles above the Indian Ocean, southeast of Madagascar, when the photo was captured. The image shows the Moon set against the darkness of space. The waxing gibbous phase is the lunar stage that immediately precedes the full moon, during which the Moon appears increasingly bright.

NISAR Satellite Maps Ground Shifts From Venezuela's June 2026 Earthquakes

A series of earthquakes struck Venezuela in June 2026, causing notable ground displacement in affected regions. NASA's NISAR satellite captured radar data revealing the extent of surface shifts caused by the tremors. The coastal city of La Guaira and surrounding areas were among the most visibly impacted zones. The satellite imagery provides scientists with precise measurements of how much the ground moved during the seismic events.
