Thomas Valdez tells how his early penchant for tinkering with things followed a path that led him to a career as a research engineer

This animation shows a color-coded map from NASA's Dawn mission revealing the highs and lows of topography on the surface of dwarf planet Ceres.

As Titan Turns

The sequence of seven images in this animation shows sunspots as viewed by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover from June 27 to July 8, 2015. From Mars, the rover was in position to see the opposite side of...

As millions of people observed the total lunar eclipse on October 8, 2014, MESSENGER was also watching from Mercury.

This visualization shows the orbits of NASA-related near-Earth science missions that are considered operational as of March 2017. 

Clouds move above Titan's large methane lakes and seas near the moon's north pole in this movie made from images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

This short animation created by Cassini's mission planning team shows how a Titan flyby will be used to move the spacecraft's course from orbiting Cassini's outer ring (F ring) to an orbit that tak...

Mating of LVA

NASA scientists pioneered new techniques to effectively peer beneath Greenland's thick ice sheet and into the crust itself.

Episode 1: What is a dwarf planet?

This animation, from Cassini's navigation team, shows the spacecraft's final orbits in 2016 and 2017. 

The heavens often seem vast and unchanging as seen from Earth, but movement in the skies is the norm. The relative motions of both Cassini and Enceladus over a 15-minute period create the movement ...

Edward Stone describes how he was always interested in what was new as a young man and how space physics got his attention.

This is a compilation of the Saturn hexagon movies released on Dec. 5, 2013.

This movie, made from data obtained by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, shows Saturn's southern aurora shimmering over approximately 20 hours as the planet rotates.

This graphic shows a 3-D model of 98 geysers whose source locations and tilts were found in a Cassini imaging survey of Enceladus' south polar terrain by the method of triangulation.

This animated movie shows the simulated solar wind velocity from March 21 to May 10, 2013. 

On Jan. 22, 2012, the Sun erupted with a solar flare, a coronal mass ejection, and a burst of highly energetic protons known as solar energetic particles.

This colorful spectrogram represents data collected by Cassini's Radio and Plasma Wave Science instrument as it crossed through Saturn's D ring on May 28, 2017.
