During the three-year trek of NASA's Mars Rover Opportunity from Victoria crater to Endeavour crater, rover planners captured a horizon photograph at the end of each drive. 309 images taken during the 13-mile journey appear in this video.
What's Up for October? Moons and meteor showers.
New observations by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, show there are significantly fewer near-Earth asteroids in the mid-size range than previously thought.
Aquarius is making NASA's first space observations of ocean surface salinity variations, a key component of Earth's climate that is linked to the cycling of freshwater around our planet and that influences ocean circulation.
Asteroid Vesta as seen by NASA's Dawn spacecraft.
This false-color video of the giant asteroid Vesta was created from images taken by the framing camera aboard NASA's Dawn spacecraft.
These animations illustrate a planet circling two stars. The planet, Kepler-16b, was discovered by NASA's Kepler mission.
How do you find water in the driest places on Earth? Scientists use Mars to get answers.
Enjoy a tour of lunar landing sites as NASA's GRAIL mission launches to the moon this month.
NASA's GRAIL mission will explore Earth's nearest neighbor in unprecedented detail.
These animations shows the motion of ice in Antarctica as measured by satellite data from the Canadian Space Agency, the Japanese Space Agency and the European Space Agency, and processed by NASA-funded research from the University of California, Irvine. The background image from the Landsat satellite is progressively replaced by a map of ice velocity, which is color-coded on a logarithmic scale.
This animation shows key events of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission Curiosity rover, which will launch in late 2011 and land on Mars in August 2012.
Simulated flyover of recurrent, warm-season flows on a slope inside Newton crater on Mars.
Mysterious features on slopes hint there could be water flows on Mars.
This animation shows how Jupiter will appear to the camera onboard NASA's Juno mission, called JunoCam, as the spacecraft goes through an orbit.
