Spring Weather Forecast on Titan: Sunshine with Patchy Clouds
Scientists using data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft have created the first long-term study of the weather on Saturn's moon Titan.

Giant Ultraviolet Rings Found in Resurrected Galaxies
On August 11, 2010, astronomers using JPL's Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) announced the discovery of huge ultraviolet light-emitting rings surrounding elliptical galaxies.

Propeller Gaps in Saturn's Rings Reveal Clues of Disk Formation
Scientists using NASA's Cassini spacecraft at Saturn have stalked a new class of moons in the rings of Saturn that create distinctive propeller-shaped gaps in ring material.

Man-Made Aurora Helps Predict Space Weather
As the ultraviolet light from the 'Lyman-Birge-Hopfield' (LBH) band emission is used by NASA, the US Department of Defense and the European Space Agency can better understand physical and chemical processes occurring in our upper atmosphere.

WISE Collection Grows
May 2010: NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), is building up a large collection of cosmic specimens- everything from distant galaxies to "failed" stars, called brown dwarfs, to asteroids and comets.

Venus Lives (Geologically Speaking)
April 2010: For the first time, the European Space Agency's Venus Express mission has detected clear signs of recent lava flows on the surface of Venus

EPOXI: Deep Impact Flyby Spacecraft Extended Mission
The EPOXI mission may help define how the Solar System originated and how it is evolving.

Laboratory & Modeling Studies to Quantify Electron Penetration into and Charging of Icy Surfaces of Moons of Giant Planets
Potential future outer planet missions need a comprehensive understanding of radiation processing of icy surfaces in order to define instrument needs.

Venus Flagship Mission Study: Exploring a World of Contrasts
Over the past year NASA has funded a mission concept study to better understand the science goals and technology requirements for a future Venus Flagship-class mission.

Simulation of Chemistry Induced by Hypervelocity Impacts on Icy Moons Surfaces
