ALT The puzzling, fascinating surface of Jupiter's icy moon Europa looms large in this newly-reprocessed color view, made from images taken by NASA's Galileo spacecraft in the late 1990s. This is the color view of Europa from Galileo that shows the largest portion of the moon's surface at the highest resolution. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SETI Institute
ALT A promotional image for the 'Europa Kids Art Challenge' featuring a cosmic background filled with deep purples and oranges, resembling a nebula. In the foreground, there is an artistic representation of Jupiter's moon Europa, with a cracked and textured surface. A space probe with solar panels is positioned near the bottom right, suggesting exploration. The text 'Europa Kids Art Challenge' is written in bold, white letters, standing out against the colorful space backdrop. A smaller depiction of Jupiter is partially visible in the top right corner.

On the left, the nebulae is a cloud of gas and dust in space, with vibrant colors of green, red, and blue. The image on the right shows the Enterprise ships outlined in white over the nebulae.

ALT Portrait of Makenzie Lystrup, smiling at the camera. She has medium brown hair, lighter closer to the ends. She is wearing brownish, plastic-rimmed glasses, and a gray shirt and blazer. She has on a white necklace. The background is mostly white, with some out of focus greenery visible behind her right shoulder.
ALT The planet Uranus on a black background. The planet appears light blue with a large, white patch on the right side. On the edge of that patch at the upper left is a bright white spot. Another white spot is located on the left side of the planet at the 9 o’clock position. Around the planet is a system of nested rings. The outermost ring is the brightest while the innermost ring is the faintest. Unlike Saturn’s horizontal rings, the rings of Uranus are vertical and so they appear to surround the planet.
ALT Citizen scientist Rita Najm created this stylized view of Jupiter from an image taken during Juno's 25th perijove pass on February 17, 2020. Najm enhanced the image’s color and contrast and to give it the impression of a painting that's ready to be framed. Here, Jupiter’s blue, white, and brown swirls take on an almost angular shape. The original JunoCam image used to produce this view was taken from an altitude of about 7,900 miles (12,700 kilometers) above Jupiter's cloud tops.

ALT NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman poses for a portrait in his orange Artemis flight suit. The suit has blue trim around the neck and shoulders, with three patches: one with the U.S. flag on his left shoulder, one with his name and a pair of wings on his chest, and one with the NASA “meatball” insignia faintly visible beneath the second. The background is dark, and the photo is lit to focus on Wiseman's face, which is facing the camera with a dignified expression. Credit: NASA
