On September 11 2025, there was a Butterfly-shaped coronal hole in the Sun, as spotted by NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. A coronal hole is an area on the Sun, visible in extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) and soft-X-ray images, where the plasma is cooler than other areas. #space #nasa

President Richard Nixon spoke from the Oval Office using a standard telephone connected to NASA’s communication network. His voice was converted into radio signals, transmitted via communications satellites, and routed to NASA’s Mission Control in Houston. From there, the signal was sent through the Deep Space Network (DSN), a global system of large radio antennas in California, Spain, and Australia designed to communicate with spacecraft far beyond Earth orbit.

The message was received by Apollo 11’s Lunar Module, Eagle, using its S-band communication system, which handled voice, telemetry, and television signals. Inside the module, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin heard Nixon through their headsets connected to the onboard communications panel. Armstrong spoke into the microphone while Aldrin listened, with a noticeable but manageable delay due to the vast distance and speed of radio waves.

When Armstrong replied, his voice traveled back through Eagle’s S-band transmitter to Earth. The signal was picked up by the Deep Space Network, routed to Mission Control in Houston, and then sent through terrestrial communication lines back to the White House. Nixon heard the astronauts’ voices only seconds after they spoke, completing the first two-way conversation between Earth and the Moon.

This vizualization shows the increasing amount if satellites in Earth's orbit from 1957 to 2025. While an increasing amount of satellites can help improve wireless connectivity and weather reporting, it can also make it difficult for Astronomers to study the night sky. #space

These images are part of a series of authentic photographs captured inside some of the most breathtaking cave systems on New Zealand’s North Island.

The glowing blue organisms seen here are Arachnocampa luminosa, commonly known as New Zealand glowworms, a species found nowhere else on Earth. Their distinctive blue bioluminescence is produced through a chemical reaction within their bodies and is used to lure insects into silk strands that hang from cave ceilings like natural traps.

As visitors move through the caves, the glowworms shift position and their brightness subtly fluctuates, creating a dynamic, star-like display that makes the experience visually stunning and immersive.

Mimas is one of Saturn's innermost moons, famous for its heavily cratered surface, particularly the massive Herschel Crater, which gives it a resemblance to the Star Wars Death Star.

Discovered by William Herschel in 1789, it's a small, icy body composed mostly of water ice with a low density, and it orbits Saturn in just under 23 hours.

Despite its seemingly inert, frozen appearance, recent analysis of its orbital wobble suggests Mimas harbors a young, subsurface ocean, making it a surprising candidate for potential habitability.

The three stars in Orion's Belt are Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. These massive, hot blue supergiant stars appear in a nearly straight line at the center of the Orion constellation.

Orion's belt is also known as the Three Kings or Three Sisters and act as a celestial navigation guide.

This is what Earth looks like from the International Space Stations. Prominantly visible are geomagnetic storms, often referred to as "Northern Lights." Northern lights are caused when charged particles from the sun, known as solar wind, collide with gases in Earth's upper atmosphere. #space #astronomy
