Today in 2007, the Cassini spacecraft snapped this image of the first high-resolution image of Saturn's moon Iapetus during its closest flyby of the two-toned surface.
Thirty years ago, NASA's Galileo mission collected the images for this collage of Jupiter and its four largest moons, shown to scale. Our Juno mission continues its exploration of the giant planet today, and our Europa Clipper spacecraft is now en route to the Jovian system. 1/2
In the 2026 ESA/Hubble and ESA/Webb calendar, the month of September features the Eagle Nebula! 🦅 This image shows just a small portion of the nebula, which is 9.5 light-years long and 7,000 light-years away from Earth.

The impressive symmetry captured here underscores the rich complexity of galaxy NGC 2985.
Its spiral arms wind outward from a bright, concentrated core, opening up as they go and eventually fading into the surrounding void.

@nasahubble captured an image of galaxy NGC 4654, which is asymmetric. One edge is defined while the opposite has a long tail of gas stretching out. The galaxy’s asymmetry is due to its high velocity as it travels through space!

The Curiosity rover has now been exploring the surface of Mars for more than 5000 Martian days! Each day on Mars, or "sol," is about 24.6 hours long.
How did Curiosity and its team mark the occasion? By working, of course. 1/2
On National Photography Day we're highlighting the work from some of our amazing photographers at NASA Marshall and NASA Michoud. We asked each photographer to send us a favorite image they took in 2026 and the story behind it. Read about them in this thread 🧵
Marvellous!
This stunning region of star formation in the Carina Nebula is known as the "Cosmic Cliffs," as named by astronomers.

In April 2026, Artemis II flew around the Moon and back. On the way there, astronaut Reid Wiseman captured this full disk photograph of Earth at nighttime.
Happy World(s) Photography Day! 📸🪐
From the Sun to Earth to the Moon to Mars ⏤ and way beyond ⏤ NASA creates and celebrates awe-inspiring photography every day. Here are some favorite recent shots.
Minutes ago, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this view of the Sun
