At first glance, it looks like a breathtaking abstract painting — swirling brushstrokes of cream, gold, and deep crimson.But it’s not paint.These are real, raging storms on Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System. Captured in stunning detail by NASA’s Juno spacecraft as it skimmed just above the cloud tops.What you’re seeing are colossal vortices of gas, some wide enough to swallow Earth whole, spinning at ferocious speeds through an atmosphere that has no solid surface below. Just endless layers of churning hydrogen and helium.The vivid colors, hypnotic textures, and intricate patterns are sculpted by forces beyond imagination — on a world where these storms have been raging for centuries.This isn’t art.This is another planet… alive, violent, and mesmerizing.

If you watch long enough, a comet will appear. Before then, you will see our Solar System from inside the orbit of Mercury as recorded by NASA's Parker Solar Probe looping around the Sun. The video captures coronal streamers into the solar wind, a small Coronal Mass Ejection, and planets including, in order of appearance, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. Between the emergence of Earth and Mars, Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS appears with a distinctive tail. The continuous fleeting streaks are high energy particles from the Sun impacting Parker's sideways looking camera. The featured time-lapse video was taken last year during Encounter 21, Parker's 21st close approach to the Sun. Studying data and images from Parker are delivering a better understanding of the dynamic Sun's effects on Earth's space weather as well as humanity's power grids, spacecraft, and space-faring astronauts.

Why Jupiter Appears to Move Backward in the Sky Have you ever gazed at Jupiter and caught it doing something weird?For months at a time, the Solar System’s giant seems to defy logic — it slows to a stop, then glides backward across the stars in a motion called retrograde. It looks almost magical… or even wrong. But it’s one of the most beautiful illusions in astronomy.Right now, Jupiter is in retrograde from November 11, 2025, to March 10, 2026 — about four months of apparent backward the real story:Earth is the faster runner, orbiting the Sun quicker than Jupiter. As we lap the giant planet (like a sports car overtaking a semi-truck on the highway), our shifting viewpoint creates the illusion. From Earth, Jupiter appears to pause, reverse direction, and loop back against the starry backdrop. Once we pull ahead far enough, it resumes its normal eastward motion.Jupiter itself never stops or turns around. It keeps cruising forward at over 47,000 km/h in its massive orbit. The backward drift exists only in our perspective.This celestial dance has mesmerized humans for millennia. Ancient skywatchers saw omens and mystery in it. We now see one of the clearest, most elegant proofs that we live on a moving planet in a moving Solar next time you spot that brilliant white “star” in the night sky, remember: you’re watching Earth overtake the king of the planets in real time.

What if you could fly over Pluto -- what might you see? The New Horizons spacecraft did just this in 2015 July as it shot past the distant world at a speed of about 80,000 kilometers per hour. Images from this spectacular passage have been color enhanced, vertically scaled, and digitally combined into the featured two-minute time-lapse video. As your journey begins, light dawns on mountains thought to be composed of water ice but colored by frozen nitrogen. Soon, to your right, you see a flat sea of mostly solid nitrogen that has segmented into strange polygons that are thought to have bubbled up from a comparatively warm interior. Craters and ice mountains are common sights below. The video dims and ends over terrain dubbed bladed because it shows 500-meter high ridges separated by kilometer-sized gaps. The robotic New Horizons spacecraft has too much momentum to ever return to Pluto and is now headed out of our Solar System. Video Credit: NASA, JHUAPL, SwRI, P. Schenk & J.

This new video, taken by NASA's Parker Solar Probe during its 21st close approach to the Sun, shows a stunning view of the Solar System from inside Mercury’s orbit. It captures solar phenomena like coronal streamers, a small coronal mass ejection, and high-energy particles streaking past the camera. Visible planets include Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. A comet, Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, briefly appears with its tail. These observations help us understand how the Sun affects space weather, satellites, astronauts, and Earth’s power grids. Parker Solar Probe is flying closer to the Sun than any spacecraft before it, eventually reaching within 6 million kilometers of the surface. Coronal streamers are bright, plasma-filled structures from the Sun’s outer atmosphere that stretch into space. High-energy particle streaks are due to solar energetic particles hitting the camera, essentially, you're watching radiation in real time. Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is a recently discovered comet, and its tail’s appearance in the video is a rare, spectacular moment. This data is crucial for understanding space weather, which can disrupt communication, GPS, and power systems on Earth.

Elon Musk: Everything is solar power. The rest is noise. “The sun is about 99.8% of the mass of the solar system. Jupiter's about 0.1% and everything else is in the remaining 0.1%, and we are much less than 0.1%. So, if you burnt all of the mass of the solar system, then the total energy produced by the sun would still round up to 100%. If you just burnt Earth, the whole planet, and burnt Jupiter, which is very big and quite challenging to burn, turn Jupiter into a thermonuclear reactor, the sun is 99.8% of the mass of the solar system and everything else is in the miscellaneous category. Basically, no matter what you do, total energy produced in our solar system rounds up to 100% from the sun. You could even throw another Jupiter in, so we're going to snag a Jupiter from somewhere else, you could teleport two more Jupiters into our solar system, burn them, and the sun would still round up to 100%. As long as you're at 99.6%, you're still rounding up to 100%. Maybe that gives some perspective of why solar is really the thing that matters. And, as soon as you start thinking about things at a grander scale, like Kardashev Scale 2 civilizations, it becomes very, very obvious. I'm not saying anything that's new, by the way. Anyone who studies physics has known this for a very long time. In fact, Kardashev, a Russian physicist who came up with this idea, I think, in the 1960s, just as a way to classify civilizations, where Kardashev Scale 1 would be, you've harnessed most of the energy of the planet, Kardashev Scale 2, you've harnessed most of the energy of your sun, Kardashev 3, you've harnessed most of the energy of a galaxy. Now we're only about 1% or a few percent of Kardashev Scale 1 right now, optimistically. But as soon as you go to Kardashev Scale 2, where you're talking about the power of the sun, then you're really just saying everything is solar power and the rest is in the noise. Like, the sun produces about a billion times, or call it well over a billion times more energy than everything on Earth combined.” All-In Podcast, October 31, 2025

What would it look like to fly past Triton, the largest moon of planet Neptune? Only one spacecraft has ever done this -- and the images of this dramatic encounter have been gathered into a video. In 1989, the Voyager 2 robotic spacecraft shot through the Neptune system with cameras blazing. Triton is slightly smaller than Earth's Moon but has ice volcanoes and a surface rich in frozen nitrogen. The first sequence in the video shows Voyager's approach to Triton, which, with the exception of an overall false green tint, appears in approximately true color. The mysterious cantaloupe terrain seen under the spacecraft soon changed from light to dark, with the terminator of night crossing underneath. After closest approach, Voyager pivoted to see the departing moon, now visible as a diminishing crescent. In 2015, the robotic New Horizons spacecraft famously flew past Pluto, an orb of similar size to Triton. Image Credit: NASA; JPL, Voyager 2, Digital composition: Paul Schenk (LPI, USRA)

Planet with extremely fast winds discovered Scientists have discovered something incredible 500 light years from Earth – the gas giant WASP-127b, where winds blow at 33,000 kilometers per hour. These supersonic flows are six times faster than the rotation speed of the planet itself and significantly exceed the most powerful winds in our solar system. "We have never seen anything like this before," says Lisa Nortmann from the University of Göttingen. "Part of the planet's atmosphere is moving towards us at an enormous speed, while another part is moving away at the same speed. This indicates the existence of a supersonic jet stream around the planet's equator." For comparison: the fastest winds in our solar system were recorded on Neptune – "only" 2,000 kilometers per hour. WASP-127b is unique in other ways as well. Although it is larger than Jupiter, its mass is significantly less, making the planet unusually "fluffy".

Lost in Jupiter’s Eternal Storm Have you ever gazed up at the night sky and felt the gas giants quietly guarding secrets older than humanity itself?This breathtaking view of Jupiter reveals a planet of pure, chaotic majesty. Massive bands of ammonia clouds swirl in hypnotic patterns, driven by winds reaching hundreds of miles per hour. Ancient storms — some larger than Earth itself — have raged continuously for centuries, including the iconic Great Red Spot, a colossal anticyclone that has stormed for at least 400 years.What looks like the masterful brushstrokes of an cosmic artist is, in fact, raw planetary physics playing out 484 million miles away. Turbulent eddies, towering cloud tops, and shifting atmospheric chemistry paint Jupiter’s face in ever-changing hues of cream, ochre, rust, and white.Staring into those infinite swirls is profoundly humbling. This is the Solar System’s largest planet — a massive shield that gravitationally protects the inner worlds from wayward asteroids and comets. Yet for all its protective power, Jupiter remains wild, untamed, and full of mysteries we’ve only begun to understand.

America doesn’t want you taking about this “What you're seeing in this video is a video of government officials in China in the act of cloud seeding, which is when they shoot silver iodide into the atmosphere, into clouds. Because what it does is it forms ice crystals, which then melt and turn into rain.” “So they're doing this because they're been, they've been suffering from severe droughts all over China, especially along the Yangzi River, which is one of the biggest rivers that flows through China, that's been drying up all over the place, which is gonna impact, you know, millions and millions and millions of human beings. So, in an effort to combat this massive amount of drought that they've been suffering from for a while, they're trying to seed clouds.” “Now, cloud seeding has been something that's been in place around the world since like the 1940s, but recently China's got one of the biggest cloud seeding programs on the earth. According to China's state council, the country is committed to bringing about 5.5 million square kilometers of its land under its weather modification program by 2025.”

A Martian Eclipse What's that passing in front of the Sun? It looks like a moon, but it can't be Earth's Moon, because it isn't round. It's the Martian moon Phobos. The featured video was taken from the surface of Mars in 2022 by the Perseverance rover. Phobos, at 11.5 kilometers across, is 150 times smaller than Luna (our moon) in diameter, but also 50 times closer to its parent planet. In fact, Phobos is so close to Mars that it is expected to break up and crash into Mars within the next 50 million years. In the near term, the low orbit of Phobos results in more rapid solar eclipses than seen from Earth. The featured video is shown in real time -- the transit really took about 40 seconds, as shown. The videographer -- the robotic rover Perseverance (Percy) -- continues to explore Jezero Crater on Mars, searching not only for clues to the watery history of the now dry world, but evidence of ancient microbial life.

What lies at the center of our galaxy? In Jules Verne's science fiction classic, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, Professor Liedenbrock and his fellow explorers encounter many strange and exciting wonders. Astronomers already know of some of the bizarre objects that exist at our Galactic Center, including vast cosmic dust clouds, bright star clusters, swirling rings of gas, and even a supermassive black hole. Much of the Galactic Center is shielded from our view in visible light by the intervening dust and gas, but it can be explored using other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The featured video is actually a digital zoom into the Milky Way's center which starts by utilizing visible light images from the Digitized Sky Survey. As the movie proceeds, the light shown shifts to dust-penetrating infrared and highlights gas clouds that were recently discovered in 2013 to be falling toward the central black hole.

Mars, though smaller, was fiercely proud of its rugged terrain Neptune, the farthest from the Sun It resented Pluto's temporary demotion from planet status, feeling that it, too, had been unfairly marginalized. As tensions mounted, a cosmic council was convened to address the brewing conflicts. But words alone couldn't soothe the egos of these celestial bodies. They were on the brink of a celestial clash. It was a scene of interstellar chaos, planets hurling accusations and celestial bodies aligning in unexpected alliances. Comets and asteroids watched in amazement, uncertain which side to join.

Here’s your space weather report for the week of July 24 - July 30: • 3 M-class flares • 1 C-class flare • 31 coronal mass ejections • 0 geomagnetic storms This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows the week’s activity. SDO remains in its Earth eclipse period, with daily “blackouts” as the spacecraft passes behind our planet, which will continue through Aug. 2. This week’s strongest flare, an M3.2-class eruption, appears at about 1:10 into the video as a brief flash in the middle of the Sun’s disk. Learn more about the Sun and space weather: Note: This week's video does not include imagery from July 30th due to a temporary issue with our data processing pipeline that is being resolved.

Earth, rotating in full view, captured by NASA’s EPIC camera aboard NOAA’s DSCOVR spacecraft. DSCOVR sits near Sun-Earth L1, about 1 million miles away, where it can continuously view the fully sunlit side of our planet. This is not composited, these are full Earth hemisphere photos assembled into a video. EPIC takes 10 narrow-band spectral images of Earth, from ultraviolet through visible light, roughly 13 to 22 times per day. The public images are natural-color views assembled from that real data. Frame after frame, Earth turns. Cloud systems move. Continents rotate through sunlight. Weather evolves across a curved, spinning world. This is what reality looks like. Flerfs in denial.

What if you could fly over Pluto's moon Charon -- what might you see? The New Horizons spacecraft did just this in 2015 July as it zipped past Pluto and Charon with cameras blazing. The images recorded allowed for a digital reconstruction of much of Charon's surface, further enabling the creation of fictitious flights over Charon created from this data. One such fanciful, minute-long, time-lapse video is shown here with vertical heights and colors of surface features digitally enhanced. Your journey begins over a wide chasm that divides different types of Charon's landscapes, a chasm that might have formed when Charon froze through. You soon turn north and fly over a colorful depression dubbed Mordor that, one hypothesis holds, is an unusual remnant from an ancient impact. Your voyage continues over an alien landscape rich with never-before-seen craters, mountains, and crevices. The robotic New Horizons spacecraft has too much momentum to ever return to Pluto and Charon and is now headed out of our Solar System. Video Credit: NASA, JHUAPL, SwRI, P. Schenk & J.

The assumption that Earth operates as a largely self-contained system - affected by its own geology, its own climate cycles, its own biological processes - is one Randall argues we need to outgrow. This planet is embedded in a cosmic environment, and the evidence that the cosmic domain impinges on the terrestrial far more frequently than previously imagined is now beyond ambiguity. The ancient peoples who were obsessed with the sky were not engaged in superstition. They were paying attention to something that modern science is only now catching up to. The solar constant - the assumed stability of energy output from the sun - is not nearly as constant as the name implies. Randall argues that a significant portion of the changes happening on Earth, changes that are routinely attributed to purely terrestrial causes, are connected to fluctuations and events in the cosmic domain of which Earth is a part. The sky that ancient cultures watched with such intensity was not a backdrop to human history. It was an active participant in it - and Randall argues that thinking cosmically is not an abstract philosophical exercise. It is the only framework large enough to accurately account for what has been happening on this planet throughout human history and what continues to happen now.
