Earth ejecta, for instance, could hold Earth life.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope reveal GJ 1214 b, a unique exoplanet with a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, challenging typical planetary classifications and offering new insights into planetary formation and evolution.

Here’s how NASA describes it in the agency’s daily skywatching guide: “Saturday evening, January 18: Venus and Saturn will appear nearest to each other. As evening twilight ends at 6:15 p.m ...

Jupiter's Great Red Spot storm, which usually appears dark-red, can be seen shining a lurid blue color in an ultraviolet image of the planet.

This is a NASA Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet-light image of the planet Venus, taken on January 24 1995, when Venus was at a distance of 70.6 million miles 113.6 million kilometers from Earth. This images gave the first global view of what was below Venus’ thick clouds. NASA captured this image under Magellan mission.

The data used to create the image is from a Hubble Space Telescope project to capture and map Jupiter's superstorm system.
