Visualizing Perseverance’s AI-Planned Drive on Mars
01/30/2026 12:30 PM
Description This animation of NASA’s Perseverance was created with the Caspian visualization tool using data acquired during an 807-foot (246-meter) drive on the rim of Jezero Crater made by the rover on Dec. 10, 2025, the 1,709th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The mission’s “drivers,” or rover planners, use the information to understand the Perseverance’s […]

U.S.-India NISAR Satellite Images Mississippi River Delta Region
01/30/2026 08:41 AM
Description The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) Earth-observing satellite’s L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instrument captured this image of the Mississippi River Delta region in southeastern Louisiana on Nov. 29, 2025. The colors in the image represent varying types of cover, which tend to reflect microwaves from the radar differently. Portions of New Orleans appear […]

Ammonia-Bearing Compounds Discovered at Surface of Jupiter’s Moon Europa
01/29/2026 02:25 PM
Description Advanced analysis of decades-old data from NASA’s Galileo spacecraft identifies ammonia-bearing compounds discovered on the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa, as shown in this composite image. Zooming in on an area about 250 miles (about 400 kilometers) wide, the black-and-white mosaic to the right is composed of multiple images from Galileo’s Solid-State Imaging camera. […]

NASA Analysis Shows La Niña Limited Sea Level Rise in 2025
01/29/2026 02:04 PM
Description This graph shows the rise in global mean sea level from 1993 to 2025 based on data from a series of five international satellites. The solid red line indicates the trajectory of this increase, which has more than doubled over the three decades. The dotted red line projects future sea level rise. A NASA analysis […]

Europa’s Ice Shell (Artist’s Concept)
01/29/2026 01:12 PM
Description This artist’s concept depicts a cutaway view showing Europa’s ice shell. It contains a shallow layer of small imperfections (cracks, pores, and voids) that extend down from the surface hundreds of feet. The icy moon of Jupiter is thought to harbor an ocean below its frozen exterior. Data used to generate a new result […]
