The chance of that happening while Hubble watched is extraordinarily miniscule. Comet K1, whose full name is Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS)—not to be confused with interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS—was not the original target of the Hubble study.Before it fragmented, K1 was likely a bit larger than an average comet, probably around 5 miles across. The team estimates the comet began to disintegrate eight days before Hubble viewed it. Hubble took three 20-second images, one on each day from November 8 through November 10, 2025. As it watched the comet, one of K1’s smaller pieces also broke up. Because Hubble’s sharp vision can distinguish extremely fine details, the team could trace the history of the fragments back to when they were one piece. That allowed them to reconstruct the timeline. But in doing so, they uncovered a mystery: Why was there a delay between when the comet broke up and when bright outbursts were seen from the ground? When the comet fragmented and exposed fresh ice, why didn’t it brighten almost instantaneously?Sometimes the best science happens by accident!For more information, visit science.nasa.gov/mission/hubbleCredit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Paul Morris: Lead ProducerOriginal Story Written by: Ann Jenkins / Christine Pulliam of the Space Telescope Science InstituteVideo Credits:Milky Way with comets timelapse.

When rain falls from Titan’s methane clouds into its hydrocarbon lakes, it can transport organic molecules like acrylonitrile that are attracted to both water and oil. Such amphiphile molecules are likely to collect in a thin film on the surface of Titan’s lakes. As large raindrops pelt the lakes, they could stir up this floating “pond scum” to form spherical droplets of methane coated in a bilayer of amphiphiles – structures called vesicles that resemble cell membranes on Earth.Although such vesicles have yet to be detected on Titan, a 2025 study by Christian Mayer and NASA scientist Conor Nixon lays out the process for their formation and evolution, and it proposes a mechanism for their discovery by a future mission to Titan.

The solar wind originates in the outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere, the corona, when plasma is heated to a point that the Sun’s gravity can’t hold it down. When this plasma escapes – often reaching speeds of over one million miles per hour – it drags the Sun’s magnetic out across the solar system. When the solar wind encounters Earth, it is deflected by our planet's magnetic shield, causing most of the solar wind's energetic particles to flow around and beyond us. However, some of these high-energy particles can sneak past Earth’s natural magnetic defenses and produce hazardous conditions for satellites and astronauts, as well as power grids and infrastructure on Earth.Learn more about the solar wind: https://science.nasa.gov/sun/what-is-the-solar-wind/ || ", "hits": 965 }, { "id": 14890, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14890/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-08-26T11:05:00-04:00", "title": "Roman Deployment Test", "description": "Technicians recently tested two major deployments for NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope: the Deployable Aperture Cover (DAC) and the Solar Array Sun Shield (SASS).

The SASS unfurled in true flight-like fashion, with its solar panels swinging into place under powerful spring tension. Each release was marked by the sharp pop of a non-explosive actuator. Both deployments were successful, bringing Roman one step closer to its mission to study dark energy, exoplanets, and the distant universe.

Without a global magnetic field to protect it, Mars is especially vulnerable. MAVEN has shown that this atmospheric escape accelerates during solar storms, offering a powerful view of how the Sun shapes the evolution of planetary atmospheres.The data from MAVEN doesn’t just tell us about Mars—it helps us understand how atmospheres behave across the solar system and beyond. It’s a glimpse into what makes a planet stay habitable—or lose that potential entirely.For more information, visit https://science.nasa.gov/mission/maven/Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Dan Gallagher: Lead ProducerPaul Morris: Producer / EditorDr. Shannon Curry: Scientist / IntervieweeWillow Reed: Public AffairsNancy Jones: Public AffairsGreg Shirah: Data VisualizerCindy Starr: Data VisualizerKel Elkins: Data VisualizerWalt Feimer: AnimatorMichael Lentz: AnimatorChris Smith: AnimatorJonathan North: AnimatorBrian Monroe: AnimatorLisa Poje: Graphic DesignerAdriana Manrique Gutierrez: Graphic DesignerKim Dongjae: Graphic DesignerErnie Wright: SupportAaron E.

Among these objects, scientists have cataloged over 3,000, yet they estimate there could be hundreds of thousands more, each spanning more than 10 miles in diameter, with Pluto being the most famous.Recent research using data from the Keck Observatory and NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a potential three-body system in the Kuiper Belt, known as the Altjira system. This discovery challenges traditional collision theories by suggesting that these triple systems might form directly from the gravitational collapse of material in the early solar disk.The Altjira system, located roughly 3.7 billion miles away, demonstrates how even the most distant and faint objects can yield groundbreaking insights when observed over decades.

The coronagraph will have a similar field of view as the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) C3 field, from 6 to 32 solar radii on the sky, and it will view the corona in both polarized and unpolarized light.Wide Field Imager (WFI)The Wide Field Imager (WFI) is a heliospheric imager, a device that provides views from 18 to 180 solar radii (45 degrees) away from the Sun in the sky. Heliospheric imagers use an artificial “horizon” and deep baffles to view the very faint outermost portion of the solar corona and the solar wind itself. The instrument reduces direct sunlight by over 16 orders of magnitude, which is like the ratio between the mass of a human and the mass of a cold virus. The wide-field imaging optics are based on the design of the famous Nagler eyepieces, which are known among observational astronomers for their clarity, low distortion, wide field, and achromatic focus.
