This is a cool photo of crescent Venus.

And the Moon, too.

Image credit: Iván Éder
A blue sky, some patchy clouds, and a thin, bright crescent. That's Venus. The larger, dimmer crescent is the Moon.

This image shows the interior of the Extremely Large Telescope's (ELT) dome. The telescope structure, supported by struts, takes up most of the image in the centre, with some cranes around working. The gigantic doors of the dome are open, allowing sunlight to shine through.

Hubble has captured the sharpest image yet of the lenticular galaxy NGC 7722 and its long, winding dust lanes!

Read more 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...
🔭
A disc-shaped galaxy. It glows brightly at the centre and shines a faint white light all around it. The disc is made up of tightly-packed rings of dust, some darker and some lighter. Wide, long lanes of dark reddish dust cross the galaxy in front of its edge, blocking out some of its light; the long strands twist and break apart at each side. A couple of nearby stars and distant galaxies are also visible on the black background.

A breathtaking look at a dying star. This new image of the Helix Nebula is just in from JWST.

We've never seen this level of detail, as the star's remains stream back out to interstellar space. Our Sun will look something like this 7 billion years from now. 🧪🔭

This image of the Helix Nebula from the ground-based Visible and Infrared Telescope for Astronomy (left) shows the full view of the planetary nebula, with boxes highlighting Webb’s field of view (right). The new image of a portion of the Helix Nebula from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope highlights comet-like knots, fierce stellar winds, and layers of gas shed off by a dying star interacting with its surrounding environment.

From NASA -
Loud and clear: Curiosity and Perseverance are both back in touch with Earth following solar conjunction. They’re beginning to downlink data collected while the Sun was blocking the signal path between us and the Red Planet.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, and the seventh largest. It’s the only planet we know of inhabited entirely by robots.
