Jupiter Blues
The Juno spacecraft captured this image when the spacecraft was only 18,906 kilometers from the tops of Jupiter’s clouds — that’s roughly as far as the distance between New York City and Perth, Australia. The color-enhanced image, which captures a cloud system in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere, was taken on Oct. 24, 2017 at 10:24 a.m. PDT (1:24 p.m. EDT) and performing its ninth close flyby of the gas giant planet.

A Crater at the North Pole of Mars
This image of a crater near the North pole (84.335° N, 120.393° E) was taken by HiRISE on August 20th, 2008. What you see here is mostly dry ice (solid CO2) which accumulates at the poles seasonally. This was taken in northern summer, when the seasonal CO2 ice cap is thinning, revealing beautiful red material on this small crater's slopes. The width of this image is about 1 km.

Daphnis up close and personal in Saturn's rings
Daphnis is an inner satellite of Saturn a little under 8-km in diameter, which orbits inside the ~40 km-wide Keeler Gap near the outer edge of the A ring. This is a forced-perspective view made with image data captured by Cassini on January 16, 2017.

Scientists are getting closer in their search for life beyond earth. But with limited federal funding for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, supporters are the reason cutting-edge scientists can keep their eyes on the sky.
