NASA has always told its story through its images, a few of which have become icons of human history.

Sparkling Andromeda

The Andromeda galaxy, also known as Messier 31 (M31), is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years. This new composite image contains data of M31 taken by some of the world’s most powerful telescopes in different kinds of light. This image is released in tribute to the groundbreaking legacy of Dr. Vera Rubin, whose observations transformed our understanding of the universe.

Science Meets Art

NASA astronaut Don Pettit returned home on Saturday, April 19, after a seven-month mission aboard the International Space Station. Throughout his stay, Pettit contributed to research that benefits humanity and future space missions. Pettit also shared what he calls “science of opportunity” to demonstrate how experimenting with our surroundings can help gain a better understanding of how things work. This understanding is perhaps enhanced when art, science, and microgravity come together.

NASA astronaut Don Pettit faces the camera wearing a gray short-sleeve shirt, with a camera floating on his right side and a large lens the size of a water pitcher floating on his left. His arms are crossed, and the walls of the space station are visible in the background, along with various equipment and wires. He grabs the camera on his right side, untwists its lens, and lets it float, then grabs the lens on his left side and installs it on the camera.
