Welcome to the Vela Pulsar! A star that collapsed and exploded now sends a storm of energy into space. This new image features data from Hubble (yellow), @ChandraXRay (purple) and the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (light blue): go.nasa.gov/4553Goz
This image features the Vela Pulsar, the aftermath of a collapsed and exploded star sending a jet of particles into space. The pulsar resembles a soft, pillowy, lavender bean in a pocket of blue gas. A faint stream of gas, the X-ray jet, appears to shoot from the pocket, heading into the distance at our upper right. Purple markings in the lavender bean shape strongly resemble narrow eyes and an open mouth, giving the pulsar a squinting happy face. In this image, X-ray light is shown in blues and purples.

We remember the heroes, survivors, and all those we lost on Sept. 11, 2001. We will never forget.
The American flag floats in the International Space Station's cupola. The cupola has windows that gives crew members a 360-degree look at Earth as the space station orbits. Here, the planet's blue curvature is visible and takes up the top portion of the image. Credit: NASA

A troop of shoebox-sized rover scouts are going to the Moon. Slated for 2024, the CADRE robots will explore the lunar surface, collect data, and map different areas of the Moon in 3D -- all without human input: go.nasa.gov/3E1Mt4F
A pair of plastic prototypes of the CADRE rovers demonstrate driving in formation during a test at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2022. The protoypes are black and have four wheels. They sit on simulated reddish Martian soil. Seven of these “Mercury 7” prototypes were built, each named for one of NASA’s seven Project Mercury astronauts. John (for John Glenn) and Scott (for Scott Carpenter) are shown here. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
