A New Dwarf Planet Has Been Found Within Our Solar System. The Newly Discovered Object (2014 UZ224) Located

Stunning picture of the moon in colour!

Space Scene

NGC 6302, also called the Bug Nebula, Butterfly Nebula, is a bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation Scorpius. The structure in the nebula is among the most complex ever observed in planetary nebulae.

The Red Planet isn't always—well, red. As seen in this false-color image from the HiRISE camera aboard NASA’s Mars orbiter, sometimes Mars is blue.

Sharpless 129 is an H-alpha emission nebula commonly called the Flying Bat Nebula located in Cepheus very close to the famous IC 1396 (the nebula that contains the Elephant's Trunk). The large blue/green nebula inside it, which is over a degree long, is formally known as Ou4 but is colloquially called the Squid (or Giant Squid) Nebula.

They might look like trees on Mars, but they're not. Groups of dark brown streaks have been photographed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on melting pinkish sand dunes covered with light frost. The above image was taken in 2008 April near the North Pole of Mars. At that time, dark sand on the interior of Martian sand dunes became more and more visible as the spring Sun melted the lighter carbon dioxide ice. When occurring near the top of a dune, dark sand may cascade down the dune leaving dark surface streaks.

The South Pole of Mars looks like a tasty ice cream!

Pandora, one of Saturn’s moons close up! Just in, this image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft is one of the highest-resolution views ever taken of this moon.

Here is a picture of the sun without any glare.

Still a very powerful star!

A fiery sunset seen by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station looks toward the South Atlantic. With Earth’s surface already in darkness, the setting sun, the cloud masses and the sideways viewing angle make a powerful image.
