Hubble Telescope Reveals NGC 4698 Galaxy's Hidden Structural Anomaly

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new image of spiral galaxy NGC 4698, located approximately 55 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. Despite its calm appearance, the galaxy conceals an unusual internal secret described as chaotic in nature. NGC 4698 is one of more than a thousand galaxies that make up the Virgo Cluster, the closest large galaxy cluster to our own. The Virgo Cluster holds its member galaxies together through gravitational forces, making it a key subject of astronomical study.

NASA Marks 50 Years Since First Space Shuttle Enterprise Was Unveiled

NASA unveiled its first space shuttle orbiter, designated OV-101, to the public on September 17, 1976, coinciding with Constitution Day during America's bicentennial year. The agency had originally planned to name the vehicle Constitution, but a massive public campaign altered that decision. Nearly 100,000 Star Trek fans wrote to the White House urging NASA to name the shuttle Enterprise, after the iconic spacecraft from the television series. The campaign proved successful, and the orbiter was officially named Enterprise before its public debut.

NASA APOD Highlights Star-Forming Region Deep Within the Carina Nebula

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for September 17, 2026 features a striking image of a dense, star-rich region within the Carina Nebula. The APOD program, run by NASA, publishes a new astronomical image each day accompanied by an explanation from a professional astronomer. The Carina Nebula is a well-known stellar nursery located thousands of light-years from Earth, containing some of the most massive and luminous stars in the Milky Way. The featured image draws attention to a particularly concentrated cluster of stars and cosmic material within this nebula. APOD has long served as a public education resource, making complex astronomical phenomena accessible to general audiences worldwide.

Heat Dome Breaks Temperature Records Across Central and Southern US

A powerful heat dome brought record-breaking temperatures to the central and southern United States as summer neared its end. The extreme heat event coincided with the approach of the autumnal equinox, marking a dramatic close to the summer season. Numerous temperature records were toppled across the affected regions during this period. The phenomenon was reported and documented by NASA as part of its monitoring of climate and weather events.

Hobbyist Roots Drive NASA's Subscale Flight Research Laboratory Team

Three NASA researchers — Derek Abramson, Justin Hall, and Justin Link — began their aerospace journeys building and flying radio-controlled aircraft as hobbyists. Their early hands-on experimentation at home and at hobby events laid the groundwork for professional careers in flight research. Today, the trio works at NASA's Dale Reed Subscale Flight Research Laboratory at Armstrong Flight Research Center. Their grassroots passion for model aircraft now directly informs cutting-edge aerospace development at the agency.

NASA's LRO Discovers Rare New Crater on Moon in Once-in-a-Century Find

NASA scientist Robert Wagner made an unexpected discovery while performing a routine data-quality check on imagery from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). He noticed an unusually large bright spot surrounded by a dark halo on a detailed map of the Moon's surface. The distinctive pattern suggested that lunar material in the area had been significantly disturbed, indicating a recent impact. The find is being described as a once-in-a-century event, given how rarely such fresh, large craters are observed forming on the Moon.

NASA Restores Guam Tracking Station Three Years After Typhoon Mawar Damage

NASA officially marked the full restoration of its Guam Remote Station with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 10. The station had been severely damaged by Super Typhoon Mawar in 2023, triggering a recovery effort spanning more than three years. Engineers from multiple NASA teams completed the most technically complex phase of the rebuild on July 1. The Guam Remote Station plays a key role in NASA's global tracking and communications network.

NASA Tracks Earth's Shifting Center of Mass Caused by Seasonal Water Movement

NASA scientists are monitoring subtle shifts in Earth's center of mass driven by seasonal redistribution of water across the planet. These shifts, though only fractions of an inch, cause the center of mass to oscillate relative to Earth's geometric center. Accurate knowledge of this reference point is critical for satellite navigation systems and precise elevation measurements. A NASA-led research team is studying these oscillations to improve the reliability of space-based positioning data.

Indonesia's Anak Krakatau Volcano Captured Mid-Eruption in New Landsat 8 Image

NASA's Landsat 8 satellite captured an image of Anak Krakatau erupting ash and volcanic gases on September 5, 2026, using its Operational Land Imager instrument. The volcano is located in the Sunda Strait between the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra. Anak Krakatau is a small but persistently active volcano, with eruptions occurring on a regular basis. While most of its activity is considered relatively mild, the volcano is known to occasionally produce more significant events.

Curiosity Rover Marks 5,000 Days on Mars With Scenic Panorama Postcard

NASA's Curiosity rover has reached the milestone of 5,000 Martian days of surface operations. To mark the occasion, the rover captured panoramic images from a location nicknamed 'Chocolatal,' a sand ridge on Mars. The images were taken using Curiosity's black-and-white navigation cameras on two separate occasions — the morning of August 30, 2026, and the evening of September 2, 2026, local Mars time. The dual time-of-day shots highlight how lighting conditions differ across the Martian day. Together, the images were combined into a commemorative postcard celebrating the rover's extended mission.

NASA's Integrated Medical Model Helps Prepare for Astronaut Health in Deep Space

NASA has developed the Integrated Medical Model (IMM), a decision-support tool designed to address the medical challenges of long-duration space missions. The tool was created in response to unique health risks posed by cosmic radiation, microgravity, and the vast distance from Earth during missions to the Moon and Mars. By anticipating potential medical needs in advance, the IMM helps mission planners make informed healthcare decisions for astronauts. The system reflects NASA's broader effort to ensure crew safety as it prepares for future deep-space exploration.
