Astronaut Leland Melvin and Bill Nye sit down to talk about space exploration and how racial injustice affects it.
updated 4 years ago
Only 4 spacecraft have ever returned images from Venus’ surface. The world next door doesn’t make it easy, with searing heat and crushing pressure that quickly destroy any lander.
In 1975 and 1982, 4 of the Soviet Union’s Venera probes captured our only images of Venus’ surface. The Veneras, which mean “Venus” in Russian, scanned the surface back and forth to create panoramic images of their surroundings. They revealed yellow skies and cracked, desolate landscapes that were both alien and familiar—views of a world that may have once been like Earth before experiencing catastrophic climate change.

A comet from the outer Solar System will be passing close to Earth for the first time in 50,000 years this month, and you might just be able to see it.
Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) — sometimes called "the Green Comet" — is currently visible using a telescope, but as it approaches Earth it is expected to get brighter and easier to see. The comet has a long orbit that takes it from the outer reaches of the Solar System in toward the Sun over thousands of years. It will be closest to the Earth on Feb. 1, at a distance of about 42 million kilometers (26 million miles). In the weeks surrounding its closest approach it may be visible with the naked eye or with binoculars.
To see it, look in the northern skies just after sunset. Without a telescope, Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) will most likely look like a faint, greenish smudge in the sky rather than a bright object, and isn’t likely to have the dramatic, visible tail we saw on Comet NEOWISE in 2020. But it’s still worth checking out; this particular comet takes around 50,000 years to orbit the Sun, so an opportunity to see it will only come once in a lifetime.
Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility’s wide-field survey camera at the Palomar Observatory in California in early March 2022.
This was always going to be LightSail 2’s fate, and the spacecraft actually stayed up for much longer than originally predicted. The entire mission was a huge success, showing that solar sails can propel a CubeSat spacecraft and paving the way for future solar sailing missions now underway.
If you are a member of The Planetary Society, then you are a member of the LightSail 2 mission team. This groundbreaking mission was made possible by the support of our members and today we hope you join us in celebrating the advances in exploration technology that we all made possible together.
Thank you so much for being a part of this amazing mission.

In 1980, the creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, wrote a letter and sent it out to a Star Trek fans mailing list. In the letter, Gene invited his fans to join us on our mission to explore the cosmos. Now Star Trek's Robert Picardo is reading the same letter to you.

Every day, more than a hundred tons of dust and sand-sized material hits the Earth’s atmosphere. This causes the streaks of light we call meteors. But there are bigger objects out there: asteroids and comets. If we work together and properly utilize our space programs, then we will be able to prevent an asteroid impact when the time comes.

This groundbreaking mission showed that solar sailing — using the sun’s light to push a spacecraft through space — is a viable propulsion technology for CubeSats. These small, standardized spacecraft are part of a global effort to lower the cost of space exploration. Our LightSail 2 spacecraft, launched 25 June 2019, uses sunlight alone to change its orbit and is currently operating under an extended mission to further advance solar sailing technology.

planetary.org/articles/best-pictures-saturn-rings
A ring system is a fleeting beauty, and Saturn’s is no different. Some researchers posit the planet’s gravity is pulling the rings inward, causing them to become a dusty “ring rain” in Saturn’s atmosphere. Calculations suggest Saturn’s rings could be gone in just 100 million years.
It’s sad to think of a ringless Saturn, even if it’s eons away. The best thing we can do is cherish the rings now, while they’re still around.

This method of seeing a planet’s spectrum through starlight is our biggest key to the search for life. As bigger and better telescopes like the recently launched JWST move us toward the future of looking at habitable and inhabited planets, exoplanet spectroscopy will be our eyes — and someday, those eyes will make the discovery of a lifetime.
