Beyond Expectations: Opportunity Rover's Timelapse Journey on Mars 🚀⁠ ⁠ ✨ Have you ever seen a timelapse of a robot's epic 11-year adventure on another planet? The original NASA videos of the Opportunity rover are not just stunning visuals – they are a testament to one of the most resilient explorers in human history. Images were taken by hazard-avoidance cameras on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity between January 2004 and April 2015 as the rover traveled 26,2 miles (42,2 kilometers) f

A strong X1.9 solar flare erupted from the sun's surface at 9:49 p.m. ET on Nov. 30, and NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory caught it in action. The flare appears as a bright flash on the Sun’s edge, followed by a plume of hot material rising into space. Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy. They can disturb radio communications, affect navigation signals, and pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts — which is why NASA and NOAA track them so closely. Credit: NASA/SDO | NASA 360
