Artist rendition of the formation of rocky bodies in the solar system; how they form and differentiate and evolve into terrestrial planets.
Ver en NASA ↗During STS-31, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) grappled by the remote manipulator system (RMS) end effector is held in appendage deploy position above Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103. The solar array (SA) bistem cassette has been released from its latch …
Ver en NASA ↗This diagram compares our own solar system to Kepler-22, a star system containing the first habitable zone planet -- the sweet spot around a star where temperatures are right for water to exist in its liquid form, discovered by NASA Kepler mission.
Ver en NASA ↗In this diagram, the Vega system, which was already known to have a cooler outer belt of comets orange, is compared to our solar system with its asteroid and Kuiper belts. The ring of warm, rocky debris was detected using NASA Spitzer Space Telescope,
Ver en NASA ↗This artist diagram compares our solar system below to the VB 10 star system. Astronomers successfully used the astrometry planet-hunting method for the first time to discover a gas planet, called VB 10b, around a very tiny star, VB 10.
Ver en NASA ↗This image taken by NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter covers the northern edge of the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons on Mars; its margin is defined by a massive cliff many kilometers several miles tall.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter covers a small portion of the northwest quadrant of Hellas Basin, or Hellas Planitia, on southern Mars; Hellas is one of the largest impact craters in the solar system.
Ver en NASA ↗These time-lapse images of a newfound dwarf planet in our solar system, formerly known as 2003 UB313 or Xena, and now called Eris, were taken using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at the Palomar Observatory.
Ver en NASA ↗Artist's illustration of the trajectory of asteroid 2017 YE5 through the solar system. At its closest approach to Earth, the asteroid came to within 16 times the distance between Earth and the moon.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Galileo spacecraft observed Io on nearly every orbit as part of a program monitoring the level of volcanic activity on this moon. Io is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System.
Ver en NASA ↗Olympus Mons, imaged here by NASA Mars Odyssey spacecraft, stands 26 km above the surrounding plains, which is three times taller than Mt. Everest, and is the tallest volcano in the solar system.
Ver en NASA ↗This artist concept shows NASA Voyager 1 spacecraft in a new region at the edge of our solar system where the magnetic field lines generated by our sun are piling up and intensifying.
Ver en NASA ↗Islands of older high-standing terrain rise above a sea of relatively young, platy lava flows between two of the largest volcanoes in the solar system in this image from NASA Mars Odyssey spacecraft.
Ver en NASA ↗After journeying a bit more than an hour across the Solar System, bright sunlight reflects off the gleaming icy cliffs in the wispy terrain of Dione and is captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft cameras several light seconds later
Ver en NASA ↗Images of asteroid 2007 PA8 have been generated with data collected by NASA Goldstone Solar System Radar. The images of 2007 PA8 reveal possible craters, boulders, an irregular, asymmetric shape, and very slow rotation.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft captured the first lightning flashes on Saturn. The storm that generated the lightning lasted from January to October 2009, making it the longest-lasting lightning storm known in the solar system.
Ver en NASA ↗Like drippings from a candle, these lava flows on the flank of Olympus Mons volcano, seen in this image from NASA Mars Odyssey spacecraft, demonstrate how it became the largest volcano in the solar system.
Ver en NASA ↗New ultraviolet images from NASA Galaxy Evolution Explorer shows a speeding star that is leaving an enormous trail of eeds for new solar systems. The star, named Mira pronounced my-rah after the latin word for wonderful.
Ver en NASA ↗Although the largest volcanoes on Mars and in the solar system are located in the geologically young Tharsis region, there are many Martian volcanoes that display equally interesting features, such as Hadriaca Patera in this NASA Mars Odyssey image.
Ver en NASA ↗This artist concept illustrates a solar system that is a much younger version of our own. Dusty disks, like the one shown here circling the star, are thought to be the breeding grounds of planets, including rocky ones like Earth.
Ver en NASA ↗This plot of data from NASA Spitzer Space Telescope reveals the light from a uper Earth called 55 Cancri e. The planet is the smallest yet, beyond our solar system, to reveal its direct light.
Ver en NASA ↗Cassini briefly turned its gaze from Saturn and its rings and moons to marvel at the Carina Nebula, a brilliant region 8,000 light years from our solar system and more than 200 light years across
Ver en NASA ↗Artist rendering of NASA Stardust capsule returning to Earth. The Stardust spacecraft will bring back samples of interstellar dust, including recently discovered dust streaming into our Solar System from the direction of Sagittarius.
