Astronomers have discovered oxygen in the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0, at a distance of 13.4 billion light-years from Earth.

This means that stars have already managed to be born, flare up and explode just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.

NASA has shared an image of the Moon taken from Galileo.

The unusual colors in the photo indicate the diversity of the soil.:

🔴 — lunar hills
🔵 — the presence of titanium in the soil
🟠 — volcanic activity

The Curiosity rover has looked back, capturing its path across the dusty surface of the Red Planet.

Do you see a bright object with a tail? It's not a comet. This is MERCURY!

Yes, yes, the smallest planet in the Solar system has its own tail. It consists of sodium, which the solar wind literally blows off the surface of Mercury. From a distance, it looks like a glowing trail — and it's quite easy to confuse it with a comet.

Even the most modest planets can surprise.

🚀 Sound in space?

In outer space, sound does not spread — there is simply no air there. But something curious happens during the separation of the rocket stages.

There is some oxygen left between them, trapped in an airtight space. When the steps separate, this air escapes outside — for a split second creating a tiny bubble through which sound waves can pass. And so — the camera on board actually records the sound of the next engine starting.

It's the rarest moment when space is not only visible, but also audible.

🟠 Red planet. 4:27 a.m. local time.

The sky before dawn is covered with a dusty Martian haze. The Perseverance rover raises its camera and catches the faint glow of Deimos, a tiny moon of Mars that looks like a dim light in the black sky.

The picture was taken on March 1, 2025, on the 1433rd Martian day of the mission.
