Crew Dragon Endeavour Recovered After a Successful Splashdown.
The SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft is raised onto the GO Navigator recovery ship after it landed with NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Aki Hoshide, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, Monday, Nov. 8, 2021. Kimbrough, McArthur, Hoshide, and Pesquet traveled 84,653,119 statute miles during their mission, remained 198 days aboard the space station, and completed 3,194 orbits around Earth.
NASAs SpaceX Crew-2 mission is the second operational mission of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the companys Commercial Crew Program, which has actually dealt with the U.S. aerospace market to release astronauts on American rockets and spacecraft from American soil to the spaceport station. The splashdown of Crew-2 comes right before the launch of NASAs SpaceX Crew-3 mission, which recently introduced, on another long period of time mission of roughly 6 months.
This image reveals knots of cold, thick interstellar gas where brand-new stars are forming.

Found by Hubble: Dark Star-Hatching frEGGs.
This image shows knots of cold, dense interstellar gas where brand-new stars are forming. They can be observed when the freshly forming stars ignite, their extreme ultraviolet radiation deteriorating the surrounding gas away and letting the denser, more resistant frEGGs remain.
The left star is an unusual, huge O-type star, which are very bright, blue-white stars known to be the hottest in the universe. The best star is an even more huge supergiant B-type star.

Particles From the Sun Produce Light Show in the world.
The aurora borealis glow on the northern horizon while stars wheel overhead in this long direct exposure, taken near the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah on Nov. 4, 2021. Sky watchers in lots of areas were dealt with to uncommonly extreme light displays, thanks to a geomagnetic storm created when several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) of charged particles from the Sun connected with Earths electromagnetic field.

Hubble Images Colorful Planetary Nebula Ringed by Hazy Halo.
NGC 2438 is a planetary nebula, formed after the death of a Sun-like star. The medium-sized star would have expelled its external layers of gas into space as it died, leaving behind a white-dwarf core. A halo of radiant gas over 4.5 light-years throughout surrounds the nebulas brighter inner ring. Numerous round or almost round planetary nebulae display these halo structures, and astronomers have actually been investigating how they evolve. NGC 2438 was one of the nebulae studied, and researchers found that the nebulas halo glows due to the ionizing radiation of the central white dwarf.
In this color-filled image, blue represents oxygen (O III), green is hydrogen (H-alpha), orange is nitrogen (N II), and red is sulfur (S II).
This Hubble Space Telescope image was captured by Hubbles Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, which provided it its distinctive stair-shape. Among the electronic cameras four detectors supplied an amplified view, which would be shrunk down in the final image to match the other three, producing the unique shape.

Mariner 10: First Mission to Use an Interplanetary Gravity Assist.
This artists impression is of the Mariner 10 mission. Mariner 10, which launched on November 3, 1972, was the first objective to carry out an interplanetary gravity help, using a flyby of the world Venus to change its course to fulfill Mercury. This enabled the spacecraft to fulfill Mercury on 3 events in 1974 and 1975.

The Force Awakens in a Newborn Star.
This celestial lightsaber does not depend on a galaxy far, far, but rather inside our home galaxy, the Milky Way. Its inside a rough birthing ground for new stars called the Orion B molecular cloud complex, situated 1,350 light-years away.

Crew-3 Launches to the Space Station
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket bring the companys Crew Dragon spacecraft is launched on NASAs SpaceX Crew-3 mission to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn, Kayla Barron, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Matthias Maurer onboard, Wednesday, November 10, 2021, at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASAs SpaceX Crew-3 mission is the third team rotation mission of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agencys Commercial Crew Program. Chari, Marshburn, Barron, Maurer introduced at 9:03 p.m. EST from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center to start a 6 month objective onboard the orbital station.

Mocha Swirls in Jupiters Turbulent Atmosphere.
During its 36th low pass over Jupiter, NASAs Juno spacecraft captured this view of striking cloud bands and swirls in the giant planets mid-southern latitudes. The dark, circular vortex near the center of the image is a cyclone that spans approximately 250 miles (about 400 kilometers). The color at its center is likely to be the outcome of coming down winds that cleaned out upper-level clouds, exposing darker material listed below.
Citizen researcher Brian Swift used a raw JunoCam image digitally forecasted onto a sphere to create this view. It has actually been turned so that north is up. The initial image was taken on September 2, 2021, at 4:09 p.m. PDT (7:09 p.m. EDT). At the time, the spacecraft was about 16,800 miles (about 27,000 kilometers) above Jupiters cloud tops, at a latitude of about 31 degrees south.
