A NASA Mars Rover Landing banner is seen on the One Times Square video board as NASA's Perseverance rover begins its descent towards the surface of Mars, Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021 in New York City. A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith.

iss066e113865 (Jan. 15, 2022) --- A sample site is denoted for the SQuARE archaeological investigation with pieces of Kapton tape. This investigation studies how astronauts use objects in space over an extended period of time in space. The experiment adapts the standard archaeological technique on Earth called the “shovel test pit” by having crew members mark out square sample sites throughout the orbiting laboratory. Astronauts took picture of these sites at the same time every day, and then at randomly selected times. What we learn could inform design of future space habitats.

These three panels show the first detection of the faint distant object dubbed "Sedna." Imaged on November 14th from 6:32 to 9:38 Universal Time, Sedna was identified by the slight shift in position noted in these three pictures taken at different times. Subsequent observations at longer time intervals provided the information necessary to deduce the nature of Sedna's 10,500 year orbit around the Sun. The field of view of each frame is 3.4 arcminutes square, and each pixel is 1.0 arcsecond. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA05568

NASA Deputy Associate Administrator Melanie Saunders and former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino ring the closing bell of the Nasdaq after the NASA's InSight lander successfully touched down on the surface of Mars, Monday, Nov. 26, 2018 at the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York City. The lander sent a signal affirming a completed landing sequence at approximately 3 p.m. EST (noon PST) after touching down on the western side of a flat, smooth expanse of lava called Elysium Planitila. InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, is a Mars lander designed to study the "inner space" of Mars: its crust, mantle, and core.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, a Space Shuttle Program time capsule has been enshrined capsule in a secured vault within the walls of the 90,000-square-foot Space Shuttle Atlantis home. The time capsule, containing artifacts and other memorabilia associated with the history of the program is designated to be opened on the 50th anniversary of the shuttle's final landing, STS-135. The new $100 million "Space Shuttle Atlantis" facility includes interactive exhibits that tell the story of the 30-year Space Shuttle Program and highlight the future of space exploration.

S99-E-5033 (12 February 2000) --- The 200 ft.-long mast supporting the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission juts into space from the Space Shuttle Endeavour (out of frame at left). The giant structure was deployed earlier today and the antennae on it quickly went to work mapping parts of Earth. By the time members of Endeavour's Red Team had reached lunchtime on this first full day in space for the SRTM, the radar antennae in the payload bay and at the end of long mast had mapped about 1.7 million square miles (4.5 million square kilometers) of the Earth's surface, or the equivalent of about half the area of the United States. This photograph was taken with an electronic still camera (ESC) by a crew member inside Endeavour's cabin.
The 2018 Kilauea, Hawaii eruption began in May on Kilauea's East Rift Zone. Lava fountains up to 100 meters high, lava flows, and volcanic gas continued until August. By the time the eruption ended, over 700 houses had been destroyed, and 35 square kilometers of land had been covered by lava flows. About 3.5 square kilometers (875 acres) of new land has been created in the ocean. The before image was acquired by Landsat 8 on September 5, 2013; the ASTER image was acquired November 14, 2018. The images cover an area of 18 by 25.5 kilometers, and are located at 19.5 degrees north, 154.9 degrees west. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA22899
