This artist’s concept depicts NASA’s three SkyFall Mars helicopters collecting data while flying over the surface of the Red Planet. The green frequency waves emanating from the helicopters’ large antennas depict collection of subsurface radar data. The red beams depict collect near-infrared imagery data from regolith (crushed rock and dust) and other surface features. Equipped

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured this 360-degree view of an expanse of terrain covered in surface features called polygons on June 19 and 20, 2026, the 4,930th and 4,931st Martian days or sols of the mission. The rover has found polygons several times in the past, but never so many in one place. In the

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured this sand-covered hill, nicknamed “Miraflores,” estimated to be about 20 feet (6 meters) high, with its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, on June 11, 2026, the 4,923rd Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The hill was left behind when the surrounding rock eroded over time, deepening the wide valley Curiosity

This map represents data captured by the Microwave Radiometer (MWR) aboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft, indicating the heat rising just below the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io. While infrared instruments measure the temperature of the moon’s surface, the MWR’s lower frequency microwave channels (0.6 and 1.25 gigahertz) can penetrate 6 to 20 feet (2 to 6

This graphic illustrates the areas of Jupiter’s moon Io sampled by the Microwave Radiometer (MWR) instrument aboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft during two close flybys. The superimposed black lines show the instrument’s footprints during Perijove 57 on December 30, 2023, when the spacecraft primarily mapped the Northern Hemisphere. The blue lines represent Perijove 58 on February
