    Ever wondered what it looks like inside Curiosity?

    This is a photo of the rover, during assembly before being launched to Mars. It's placed upside down with its belly plate removed so we can see
    the equipment and instruments that are normally hidden from our view. The front of the rover is on the left side of this photo. The image was
    shared today by Emily Lakdawalla of the Planetary Society and will be one of the featured images in a book she is writing about Curiosity Rover.

    This close-up view of Jupiter captures the turbulent region just west of the Great Red Spot in the South Equatorial Belt,
    with resolution better than any previous pictures from Earth or other spacecraft.

    NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured this image with its JunoCam citizen science instrument when the spacecraft was a mere 8,700
    kilometers above Jupiter’s cloudtops on Dec. 11, 2016 at 9:14 a.m. PT (12:14 p.m. ET). Citizen scientist Sergey Dushkin
    produced the sublime color processing and cropped the image to draw viewers’ eyes to the dynamic clouds.

    https://www.nasa.gov/...s-demonstrate-technique-to-improve-particle-warnings-that-protect-astronauts

    Our constantly-changing sun sometimes erupts with bursts of light, solar material, or ultra-fast energized particles — collectively,
    these events contribute to space weather. In a study published Jan. 30, 2017, in Space Weather, scientists from NASA and the National
    Center for Atmospheric Research, or NCAR, in Boulder, Colorado, have shown that the warning signs of one type of space weather event
    can be detected tens of minutes earlier than with current forecasting techniques – critical extra time that could help protect
    astronauts in space.

    Remnants of a mega-flood on Mars / Mars Express / Space Science / Our Activities / ESA
    http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Mars_Express/Remnants_of_a_mega-flood_on_Mars

    ESA’s Mars Express has captured images of one of the largest outflow channel networks on the Red Planet.

    The Kasei Valles channel system extends around 3000 km from its source region in Echus Chasma – which lies east of the bulging
    volcanic region Tharsis and just north of the Valles Marineris canyon system – to its sink in the vast plains of Chryse Planitia.

    Fragmented asteroid pair develops twin comet-like tails
    https://phys.org/news/2017-03-fragmented-asteroid-pair-twin-comet-like.html

    Asteroids on the main belt, situated between Mars and Jupiter, move around the sun in quasi circular orbits,
    so they do not undergo the temperature changes which, in comets, produce the characteristic tails. Nevertheless,
    some twenty cases have been documented of asteroids which, for various reasons, increase their glow and unfurl
    a tail of dust. Among the latter stands P/2016 J1, the youngest known "asteroid pair."

    Fourth Hubble Servicing Mission Launches -- March 1, 2002 | NASA
    https://www.nasa.gov/...k-in-nasa-history-fourth-hubble-servicing-mission-launches-march-1-2002.html

    This week in 2002, space shuttle Columbia and STS-109 launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to begin the fourth Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission.
    Here Hubble is berthed in Columbia’s cargo bay, silhouetted against the airglow of Earth's horizon. During this mission, astronauts replaced Hubble's solar
    panels and installed the Advanced Camera for Surveys, which took the place of Hubble's Faint Object Camera, the telescope's last original instrument.

    YaleNews | Yale-led team puts dark matter on the map
    http://news.yale.edu/2017/03/01/yale-led-team-puts-dark-matter-map

    A Yale-led team has produced one of the highest-resolution maps of dark matter ever created, offering a detailed
    case for the existence of cold dark matter — sluggish particles that comprise the bulk of matter in the universe.

    The dark matter map is derived from Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields data of a trio of galaxy clusters that
    act as cosmic magnifying glasses to peer into older, more distant parts of the universe, a phenomenon known as
    gravitational lensing.

    Rapid changes point to origin of ultra-fast black hole 'burps'
    https://phys.org/news/2017-03-rapid-ultra-fast-black-hole-burps.html

    Gas outflows are common features of active supermassive black holes that reside in the center of large galaxies. Millions to billions of times the mass of the Sun,
    these black holes feed on the large disks of gas that swirl around them. Occasionally the black holes eat too much and burp out an ultra-fast wind, or outflow.
    These winds may have a strong influence on regulating the growth of the host galaxy by clearing the surrounding gas away and suppressing star formation.

    Galaxie na hraně | ESO Česko

    Pestrobarevný pás hvězd, plynu a prachu na uvedeném snímku je spirální galaxie s katalogovým označením NGC 1055 a takto ji nedávno zachytil dalekohled ESO/VLT
    (Very Large Telescope) pracující na observatoři Paranal v Chile. Průměr galaxie NGC 1055 je asi o 15 procent větší než průměr naší Galaxie (Mléčné dráhy).
    Jelikož se na NGC 1055 díváme z boku, vypadá, jako by postrádala stočená ramena – typický znak spirálních galaxií. Na jejím vzhledu je také patrná řada
    nepravidelných struktur, které pravděpodobně vznikly následkem blízkého setkání se sousední galaxií.

    50 000-Year-Old 'Super Life' Discovered Says Head Of NASA Astrobiology
    https://www.forbes.com/...17/02/27/50000-year-old-super-life-discovered-in-mexico-cave/#3204f85f59c1

    Deep within a Mexican cave NASA scientists discovered ancient life forms that have been trapped within crystals for 50,000 years. The cave whereby
    these microbes live is the famous Naica Cave in Mexico's Chihuahua state and is known for fairytale like massive crystals and extreme conditions.

    The microbes have been dormant within trapped fluid inclusions in massive gypsum crystals. Uniquely, the microbes have existed entirely on heavy
    minerals such as iron and manganese to create energy. They have adapted to one of the most hostile environments on Earth, evidence that life finds
    a way to cope in extreme conditions.

    To set the stage, the Naica caves were first found by miners about a hundred years ago while looking for silver. The cave system (980 feet below
    the surface of the Earth) reaches up to 136 °F and 99% humidity, conditions that require scientists to wear modified spacesuits with cooling packs
    while studying the cave. The massive gypsum crystals have grown up to 39 feet long and 13 feet in diameter, weighing up to 55 tons per crystal.
