NASA Psyche Spacecraft Captures Mars Crescent Growing During Gravity Assist Flyby

NASA's Psyche mission captured a composite series of images showing Mars as the spacecraft approached the planet for a gravity assist maneuver. The images were taken between May 2 and May 15, 2026, documenting the planet's crescent shape growing progressively larger. The sequence begins with the smallest crescent when Mars was farthest from the spacecraft and expands as Psyche drew closer. A gravity assist uses a planet's gravitational pull to alter a spacecraft's speed and trajectory without expending fuel.

NASA Forms Working Group to Assess Blood Clot Risk in Astronauts

NASA's Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer launched a working group in April 2026 to address the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among astronauts. The group was established to review updated VTE case data and newly gathered information indicating altered blood flow patterns in a cohort of astronauts. The initiative also aims to evaluate ongoing research and clinical efforts designed to reduce clot-related risks during spaceflight. Developing a standardized VTE risk-scoring algorithm for astronauts is a key goal of this effort.

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.

Guinea-Bissau's Bijagós Archipelago Harbors Rich Coastal Biodiversity

The Bijagós archipelago in Guinea-Bissau is home to a remarkable diversity of wildlife across its varied coastal habitats. The region encompasses wide mudflats, sandy beaches, and dense mangrove forests that together create a rich ecological environment. These habitats attract large populations of migratory shorebirds that rely on the area during their seasonal journeys. The archipelago also supports significant numbers of sea turtles, making it a critical site for marine conservation. NASA has highlighted the region as a notable example of tide-driven biodiversity along the West African coast.

NASA Identifies Near-Earth Asteroid as a Comet After Precise Tracking

NASA scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California have determined that a puzzling near-Earth object is actually a comet. Researchers reached this conclusion by precisely tracking the object's motion through space and using powerful observatories capable of imaging faint celestial bodies. The object had previously shown no obvious comet-like activity in past images, leading to its initial classification as an asteroid. The new findings reveal its dual nature, reclassifying it within the broader category of near-Earth objects.

Webb Telescope Captures 4.4-Billion-Year-Old Merging Galaxy Cluster

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a striking image of a young galaxy cluster, MACS J0553.4-3342, released on July 3, 2026. The observation peers back 4.4 billion years into the universe's past. The cluster consists of two sub-clusters of roughly equal mass that are actively in the process of merging. Each sub-cluster is anchored by a large, luminous elliptical galaxy that stands out prominently in the image.

Canadian Wildfire Smoke Blankets Ontario, Quebec and Parts of US

Wildfires burning in Canada have generated large plumes of smoke spreading across wide regions of the country and beyond. The smoke has moved over the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, affecting air quality in those areas. Parts of the U.S. Midwest and Northeast have also been impacted as the smoke drifted southward. NASA tracked and reported the movement of the smoke plumes across the affected regions.

Freshly Recovered 2024 Meteorite Reveals Clues About Early Solar System Water

A meteorite that fell to Earth on July 16, 2024, is providing NASA scientists with rare insights into the ancient solar system. Because it was recovered immediately after landing, the sample remained largely uncontaminated, making it especially valuable for research. Scientists are using it to study the presence of ancient water and the chemical changes that occurred on primitive asteroids billions of years ago. The findings may also shed light on the organic ingredients that could have contributed to the origins of life in the early solar system.

NASA to Test Artemis III Moon Lander Docking in 2027 Ahead of Crewed Landing

NASA plans to conduct an uncrewed Artemis III demonstration mission in 2027, roughly a year before astronauts are scheduled to land on the Moon in 2028. The mission will allow ground and orbital teams to practice rendezvous and docking procedures between commercial human landing systems and the Orion spacecraft. Data gathered during this test flight will inform preparations for subsequent uncrewed demonstration missions at the Moon. The exercise is designed to reduce risk and refine operational readiness before humans return to the lunar surface under the Artemis program.

Curiosity Rover Uncovers Rock Layers Formed by Ancient Martian Sandstorm

NASA's Curiosity rover captured an image on December 12, 2024, its 4,391st Martian day, revealing multilayered rocks on the Martian surface. The formations are believed to have originated billions of years ago during an intense sandstorm that lasted several hours. During the storm, sand ripples piled on top of one another as they moved across the terrain. Over time, these accumulated sediment layers compressed and hardened into the distinctive layered rock structures visible today.

Perseverance Rover Captures Sweeping View of Jezero Crater Rim on Sol 1505

NASA's Perseverance rover photographed the outer edge of Jezero Crater's rim on May 15, 2025, marking the 1,505th Martian day of its mission. The image was captured using the rover's Mastcam-Z instrument, which is designed for detailed panoramic and zoom photography. The crater rim stands approximately 490 feet (150 meters) tall, and the shot looks back up at its outside lip from below. Bright-colored rocks are visible stretching across the slope in the image, offering scientists a detailed view of the geological features at a location called Broom Point.

Perseverance Rover Reaches Ancient 3.9-Billion-Year-Old Rock Site on Mars

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has traveled to a location nicknamed 'Broom Point,' where scientists have identified a sequence of layered bedrock estimated to be over 3.9 billion years old. The rover originally landed inside Jezero Crater on February 18, 2021, as planned. Since then, it has been systematically exploring the crater, including its western delta region. The science team has been tracking the rover's orbital path to document its journey to this ancient geological site. The layered bedrock at Broom Point is of significant scientific interest due to its age and potential to reveal details about Mars' early history.
