NGC 602 (NIRCam and MIRI image)
Near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy roughly 200 000 light-years from Earth, lies the young star cluster NGC 602, which is featured in this new image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope.
This image includes data from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-InfraRed Camera) and MIRI (Mid-InfraRed Instrument).

Sizing Up Exoplanets !
Astronomers using data from NASA Kepler mission and ground-based telescopes recently discovered the three smallest exoplanets known to circle another star, called KOI-961.01, KOI-961.02 and KOI-961.03.

ASKAP J1935+2148 !
The discovery of ASKAP J1935+2148, a radio transient with a 53.8-minute period and variable emissions, hints at unexplored celestial phenomena, possibly involving a neutron star or a white dwarf in a binary system.

13 Billion-Year-Old Quasars !
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have made groundbreaking observations of supermassive black hole-powered quasars dating back 13 billion years.
“Dark Universe”
The huge mosaic released by ESA’s Euclid space telescope on October 15, 2024, accounts for 1% of the wide survey that Euclid will capture over six years.
The location and actual size of the mosaic on the Southern Sky is shown in yellow.
This all-sky view is an overlay of ESA Gaia’s star map from its second data release in 2018 and ESA Planck’s dust map from 2014.

Mars !
NASA's Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using its Right Mastcam-Z camera. Mastcam-Z is a pair of cameras located high on the rover's mast. This image was acquired on Sept. 27, 2024 (Sol 1282) at the local mean solar time of 11:50:05.
