This image captured a partial solar eclipse over the Grábrók volcanic crater in Iceland. Double sunrise due to a partial eclipse, Les Escoumins, Quebec, Canada. Parker Solar Probe view of the solar system. And as a reminder, see how tiny we are?

Popularly called Thor's Helmet, NGC 2359 is a hat-shaped cosmic cloud with wing-like appendages. Heroically sized even for a Norse god, Thor's Helmet is about 30 light-years across. In fact, the cosmic head-covering is more like an interstellar bubble, blown by a fast wind from the bright...

Annular solar eclipse, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, 2012. Venus and Jupiter almost appear as a single celestial beacon in this image taken near Lake Wivenhoe, Queensland, Australia, and the Milky Way. Full Moon over Brno, Czech Republic. Aurora over White Dome Geyser, Yellowstone.

Love all 3 of those pics...the top made me laugh....someone like the A Team....I pity the fool!

Bryce Canyon, Utah. The unusual pattern was created by atmospheric gravity waves, ripples of alternating air pressure that can grow with height as the air thins, in this case about 90 kilometers up. The colors are not from aurora, they are from a phenomena known as airglow and caused by...
