Right Here, Right Now

I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” —Neil Armstrong The purpose of NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft—Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith Explorer—is to map and return samples from asteroid Bennu, a carbon-rich hunk of rock that might contain organic materials or molecular precursors to life.

Getting a Little Boost from Home

At the time of publication, it represented the best available science. In October 2013, NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew past the Earth to steal some energy for a ride to Jupiter. Along the way, it also stole some glimpses of home. Views of a Distant Earth. This page contains archived content and is no longer being updated.

Views of a Distant Earth

At the time of publication, it represented the best available science. On July 19, 2013, NASA spacecraft got not one but two rare and unique views of Earth from opposite ends of the solar system. While exploring Saturn, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft took the top image of Earth from a distance of about 1.45 billion kilometers (898 million miles) away. NASA’s MESSENGER spacecraft was 98 million kilometers (61 million miles) from Earth, in orbit around Mercury, when it acquired the lower image. Earth and Moon from Mercury.

Earth and Moon from Mercury

At the time of publication, it represented the best available science. On most days, the Earth Observatory presents our planet in close-up, filling the camera with its oceans and mountain ranges, clouds and rivers. But occasionally, NASA helps us all take a step back to see the big picture of our place in the solar system and universe. Such a view was recently beamed back by NASA’s Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft. Looking Back Across a Sea of Black. Every so often, we get a reminder of just how small our planet is in the context of the vast cosmos.

Looking Back Across a Sea of Black

We also get a reminder of the great things we can achieve as a species that loves to explore. In January 2018, one of our latest space explorers sent back a distant view of our tiny, beautiful home. The Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security–Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft looked back across a distance of nearly 64 million kilometers (40 million miles) and saw the Earth and Moon as a few pixels of reflected sunlight. The image was acquired by the NavCam1 imager on January 17, 2018, as part of an engineering test. The spacecraft was moving away from Earth at a speed of 8.5 kilometers per second (19,000 miles per hour).

Apollo 11 Landing Site

At the time of publication, it represented the best available science. On July 20, 1969, humanity left its first footprints on another world. Forty years later the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera captured this image (top) of the descent stage of the Eagle, Apollo 11’s Lunar Module (indicated by the yellow arrow). The descent stage is the largest artifact left behind by astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong after their 22-hour stay on the Moon.

During their walk on the lunar surface one of the astronauts (probably Buzz Aldrin) snapped this photo (bottom) of the Lunar Module with Earth almost directly above. (643) Starship Landing Astronauts on the Moon Before 2024. Space Station tumbled end-over-end due to Russian module thruster glitch. A computer glitch has been blamed for the incident, which saw the International Space Station flip end-over-end in orbit.

Space Station tumbled end-over-end due to Russian module thruster glitch

Early in the morning on July 29, 2021, a new section of the space station arrived and docked to the Russian end of the orbital outpost. Nauka, or наука ("the science" in Russian), is also named the Multipurpose Laboratory Module (MLM). Nauka docked with the ISS, with Soyuz MS-18 at the lower right. Credit: Roscosmos A few hours after its arrival, while the Russian cosmonauts were checking Nauka's connections to the rest of the station, a computer glitch caused its thrusters to suddenly begin firing.

"29 Raptor engines and 4 grid fins have been installed on Super Heavy ahead of first orbital flight," the company tweeted Monday along with photos. Super Heavy is the massive booster created to launch Starship beyond Earth.
