#PPOD: The Sun’s inner corona, the hottest part of our star's atmosphere, appears faint yellow in this image taken by the ASPIICS coronagraph aboard Proba-3. The image combines data from Proba-3’s ASPIICS coronagraph (inner solar corona in yellow) and from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) aboard NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (solar disc in dark orange).

#PPOD: The #ArtemisII crew captured this view of Earth setting on April 6, 2026. As the astronauts flew over the Moon’s far side, the crew photographed and described terrain features, including impact craters, ancient lava flows, and surface cracks and ridges formed as the Moon slowly evolved. They also noted differences in color, brightness, and texture, which provide clues that help scientists understand the composition and history of the lunar surface.

#PPOD: A red-green-blue image of 3I/ATLAS taken by Juice’s high-resolution science camera, JANUS, from more than 180 million km away. The comet seems to glow green because gases in the halo around the nucleus emit light at green wavelengths. Background stars have different colors depending on their temperatures.

#PPOD: NASA’s #ArtemisII Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft are seen atop a mobile launcher at Launch Complex 39B, March 27, 2026, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA’s Artemis II test flight will take Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency), around the Moon and back to Earth with launch opportunities beginning today.

#PPOD: This photo was published on social media by ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot with the following caption:Day 041, orbit 0639 – Technology and nature, two of my passions, in one shot. Our beautiful planet Earth, the Canadarm2, and the sunglint on the ISS solar panels. What a view! This picture was taken from the Cupola, looking forward and starboard (to the right).

Sentinel-1 satellites carry radar instruments to provide an all-weather, day-and-night supply of imagery of Earth’s surface, making it ideal to monitor ship traffic. Here, more than 50 radar images over the same area, acquired every six days throughout 2025, have been compressed into a single image.
