- Fantastic Flyby
Today, NASA released stunning new images taken by the New Horizons spacecraft during its recent flyby of Jupiter. Highlights include a movie of an erupting volcano on Jupiter's moon Io and the best-ever color photo of Jupiter's "Little Red Spot." - Noxious Lightning
Lightning is more than just heat and light: it's a chemical factory that produces a natural pollutant called "NOx" that can affect both local air quality and global climate. NASA scientists are developing new ways to monitor lightning NOx from Earth orbit. - A Massive Explosion on the Sun
Last December, Japan's Hinode spacecraft observed a massive explosion on the sun. Researchers analyzing the data have now produced a must-see movie of the flare's magnetic underpinnings. - Dusty Hurricanes
What happens to a hurricane when it gets hit by a dust storm? This is an important question because Atlantic hurricanes are born not far from the Sahara desert. To find the answer, NASA scientists recently flew into a dusty hurricane. - Black Hole Eclipse
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has observed a remarkable eclipse of a supermassive black hole, allowing a disk of hot matter swirling around the hole to be measured for the first time.
