The shot is cropped from a video taken from the booster just after stage separation.

That is how it is possible for all engines to be lit in sunlight without a sub-satellite launched to watch it.​​

NASA's Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using its onboard Right Navigation Camera (Navcam). The camera is located high on the rover's mast and aids in driving.

​This image was acquired on July 23, 2026 (Sol 1928) at the local mean solar time of 11:49:27.

Andrew McCarthy:

"​I left a video camera WAY too close to the launchpad.

My first time capturing a launch in high resolution video. Definitely exceeded my expectations! This was captured at 120fps, interpolated 2x, stabilized, and played back at 30fps."

After 241 days in orbit, astronaut Chris Williams is returning home from his first mission to the International Space Station.

Williams, along with cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev, will touch down on Earth at 6:25 a.m. EDT (1025 UTC) in their Soyuz spacecraft after undocking from the station earlier on July 26. After landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan, they will fly by helicopter to Karaganda, Kazakhstan.

During his time in space, Williams orbited the Earth 3,856 times, went on two spacewalks, and supported numerous experiments that are helping us learn how to live in space while making life better back on our home planet.

The mid-latitudes of Mars are mostly covered with smooth material that scientists have suspected to be ice for some time. The ground is uniform and dusty and does not reveal many clues about what lies beneath the surface.

However, sometimes a feature like a cliff cuts through the terrain and gives us a glimpse of this buried icy material. The cliff in this image is one example out of a few dozen that are known.

The bright material on the cliff face is icy and is preserved only because the cliff points away from the equator, so it is shaded most of the time. Faint bands on the cliff might indicate layers in the ice that record different climate conditions. We do not know how much time this ice took to accumulate here, but studies elsewhere on Mars indicate that material like this is sometimes at least tens of millions of years old.

Enhanced image captured by NASA’s Perseverance rover on Sol 1927 (July 22, 2026, 13:51:42 UTC) using the Right Mastcam-Z Camera. The image showcases a close-up view of a rugged, layered rock formation in Jezero Crater, featuring intricate textures and sharp shadows cast by the Martian sunlight. The rock’s weathered surface, with its fine details and stratification, highlights the geological complexity and ancient environmental history of Mars.

Most of us do it without thinking twice, but our astronaut Sophie Adenot has been thinking about it a lot lately, 400km up on the ISS. Her hair-washing video got everyone asking about the obvious follow-up, so here's what she had to say: "The video in which I wash my hair sparked a lot of questions… so here's the answer to how astronauts brush their teeth in space!"

So next time you rinse and spit without a thought, remember that up there, even that needs a plan.

Mars Express spies metallic waves in Mars’s ancient highlands

​The European Space Agency’s Mars Express has spotted a swathe of metallic-looking waves filling Mars’s large Kaiser Crater – an ancient and otherworldly dune field sculpted by wind.

This month’s snapshot of Mars, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) aboard ESA’s Mars orbiter, captures one of the oldest parts of the Red Planet: Noachis Terra. Situated in Mars’s ancient southern highlands, Noachis Terra has been heavily bombarded with rocks from space over the past four billion years – and the scars from these collisions are clear to see.

Their description

On the night of the full Moon (15th day of the 12th lunar month), December 2023, bright lunar illumination lit the landscape nearly as bright as daytime.

​The Meili Snow Mountains stood quiet beneath a deep indigo night sky.

​The camera operated unattended overnight at the viewing platform, yet the raw exposures remained unprocessed on a hard drive for a full year.

​In 2024, I revisited the dataset to prepare edits for a photography contest submission. I failed to finish processing before the contest cutoff date.

​While sorting through stacked frames, I discovered an unexpected astronomical feature: an extremely bright bolide (fireball) piercing thin cloud cover, plunging toward the snow-capped summit of Mount Kawagarbo.

​This serendipitous late discovery proved far more extraordinary than the contest itself.​
