On its penultimate close flyby of Saturn’s largest moon Titan, Cassini used its
radio science instrument to scan the great seas of methane near the moon’s North Pole.

A NASA supercomputer simulation captures a mix of radiation, magnetic fields,
gravity and other physical phenomena to give a view of the galaxy 700,000 years ago.

Even the best astronomical sites in the world, located on remote mountaintops with particularly stable air,
degrade diffraction-limited images to 0.6 to 0.7 arcseconds. While this is approximately 100 times finer than
the naked eye can achieve, it is no better than the diffraction limit of a modest backyard telescope.

Space telescopes do not suffer from the limitations imposed by atmospheric turbulence. The 2.4-m-diameter Hubble
Space Telescope can produce images with detail as fine as 0.04 arcseconds in visible light. The 6.5-m-diameter
James Webb Space Telescope, due to be launched in 2018, will have nearly three times higher resolution in the
infrared, but its mirrors are not specified to achieve the diffraction limit in the visible.

A Funnel on Mars Could Be a Place to Look for Life | UT News | The University of Texas at Austin

A strangely shaped depression on Mars could be a new place to look for signs of life on the Red Planet, according to a University of Texas at Austin-led study.
The depression was probably formed by a volcano beneath a glacier and could have been a warm, chemical-rich environment well suited for microbial life.

WFIRST coronagraph: Imaging Giant Exoplanets Around Nearby Stars | Science Mission Directorate
https://science.nasa.gov/technology/technology-stories/wfirst-coronograph

The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) is the highest-ranked recommendation for a large space mission in the NRC 2010 decadal survey,
New Worlds, New Horizons (NWNH) in Astronomy and Astrophysics. The WFIRST coronagraph instrument (CGI) will be the first high-contrast stellar
coronagraph in space. It will enable WFIRST to respond to the goals of NWNH by directly imaging and spectrally characterizing giant exoplanets
similar to Neptune and Jupiter, and possibly even super-Earths (extrasolar planets with a mass higher than Earth’s but lower than our Solar
System’s ice giants, Neptune and Uranus), around nearby stars. The WFIRST CGI includes both a Shaped Pupil Coronagraph (SPC) and a Hybrid
Lyot Coronagraph (HLC). All three of WFIRST’s CGI technology milestones for 2015 were passed successfully.
