  1. #PPOD: This James Webb Space Telescope image peers into the Treasure Chest, a glowing cluster of young stars hidden inside the Carina Nebula, about 7,500 light-years from Earth. JWST's infrared vision reveals dozens of newborn stars still wrapped in dust, while powerful radiation from nearby massive stars sculpts the surrounding gas into the shape of an open chest.

  6. #PPOD: Just 15 minutes after its closest approach to Pluto on July 14, 2015, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft looked back toward the sun and captured this near-sunset view of the rugged, icy mountains and flat ice plains extending to Pluto's horizon. The backlighting highlights more than a dozen layers of haze in Pluto's tenuous but distended atmosphere. Credit: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI

  16. #PPOD: Twice each day, tides ebb and flow through a maze of sandy channels, mudflats, and mangrove forests that flank the 88 islands and islets of Guinea-Bissau’s Bijagós Archipelago. Seen from above in this image from Nov. 28, 2025, the process leads to stark changes to the landscape: around low tide, intertidal mudflats and sandflats emerge from the sea, causing islands to grow significantly before shrinking again hours later.

  21. #PPOD: Visible in this observation is a section of Cerberus Fossae, Mars (width approximately 250 meters), which comprises a series of rifts located in Elysium Planitia just north of the Martian equator. The fossae (Latin plural for a “ditch” or “depression”) are in close proximity and related to the formation of Athabasca Valles, which lies to the west. These rifts are collapse features believed to form by volcanic and tectonic processes. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona

  31. #PPOD: These images depict different angles of a very peculiar asteroid named (44) Nysa. Located at the inner edge of the asteroid belt, it reveals an unusual structure. The data show that the asteroid is 80 km across and is composed of three distinct blobs, or ‘lobes’, joined by two narrower sections that encircle the asteroid, or ‘necks’. All previous identifications of asteroids with a neck have been interpreted as having just two lobes. Credit: ESO/K. Minker et al.

But look closely, and you will be able to make out Proba-3’s Coronagraph spacecraft hiding in plain sight, covering parts of the Indonesian Archipelago to the right of the Indian Ocean’s vast expanse. While the pictured Coronagraph only has eyes for the Sun and its surrounding corona, the other spacecraft – the Occulter – uses a camera system to autonomously adjust its position relative to the Coronagraph.
