As the galaxy moves through space at 1.5 million miles per hour, it leaves not one — but two — tails behind it.

The week's top stories, in Spanish.

Two merging galaxies. Left one has a large spiral arm curving out from the core, around to below it. Right one has bright core but elsewhere is very faint. A broad curtain of gas connects the two galaxies’ cores and hangs beneath them.

Earth Observatory Image of the Day

Recent natural event imagery from NASA’s Earth Observatory.

A large lenticular galaxy appearing as faint, gray, concentric ovals that grow progressively brighter towards the core and fades away at the edge. Two threads of dark reddish-brown dust cross the galaxy’s disk, near its center. Black background.

JPL Education Updates

The latest STEM education resources, events, and news for teachers, students, and parents from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory education team.

A crowd of oval-shaped elliptical galaxies gather around the largest galaxy in the center. They are surrounded by more distant stars and galaxies, that have many shapes and sizes but all are smaller, on a dark background.

This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region called NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals for the first time previously invisible areas of star birth.

NASA Flight Opportunities

Updates on technologies for space exploration and the expansion of space commerce through suborbital testing with industry flight providers.

distant galaxies appear as bright glowing spots in this Webb telescope image, with some smeared by gravitational lensing; foreground stars appear bright with six-pointed diffraction spikes, owing to the shape of Webb's mirrors

The lower half of this image contains arcs of bluish material that form a boat-like shape. One end of these arcs points to the top right of the image, while the other end points toward the bottom left. Another plume of blue filaments expands from the center to the top left, resembling the mast of a sailboat. Within and extending beyond the boat shape are translucent curtains of pink, which appear atop the boat shape as well and cover most of the image. Stars are noticeably scarce. A couple dozen bright pink patches with six short diffraction spikes are scattered within the blue filaments. Many faint blue dots, or stars, also speckle the background, which is black or dark gray.

A large, bright star shines from the center with smaller stars scattered throughout the image. A clumpy cloud of material surrounds the central star, with more material above and below than on the sides.

S3VI Resource Brief

The Small Spacecraft Systems Virtual Institute's quarterly digest of resources, opportunities, and activities for the small spacecraft community.

A close-in image of a spiral galaxy, showing its core and part of a spiral arm. A few bright stars are visible throughout it, concentrated in the barred core.
