The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. Some of the craft's latest imagery reveals Saturn's battered moon, Janus, which wears the record of a long history of surface impacts.
Read MoreNASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has provided the first clear view of the faint boundary of the Crab Nebula's X-ray-emitting pulsar wind nebula.
Read MoreNASA is developing technologies that will allow lunar landers to automatically identify and navigate to the location of a safe landing site while detecting landing hazards during the final descent to the surface. This is important because future lunar missions will need this capability to be able to land safely near specific resources that are located in potentially hazardous terrain.
Read MoreThis Cassini image was the fourth 'skeet shoot' narrow-angle image captured during the October 31, 2008, flyby of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The source region for jet VI (see PIA08385) has been identified.

Read MoreThe latest polar-orbiting operational environmental weather satellite developed by NASA for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, called NOAA-N Prime, arrived Tuesday at Vandenberg AFB in California by C-5A military cargo aircraft.
Read MoreAn interesting concept for sure — here you see a side-by-side comparison of visible and ultraviolet light as NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer has lifted the veil off a ghost known to haunt the local universe, providing new insight into the formation and evolution of galaxies.
Read MoreNASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has communicated with controllers daily since Oct. 30 through relays to Mars orbiters.
Read MoreThe NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has returned to operation and, as if to prove the case, has taken a snapshot of the fascinating galaxy pair Arp 147.
Read MoreNASA'S Phoenix Mars Lander entered safe mode on Tuesday in response to a low-power fault brought on by deteriorating weather conditions.
