In the coming months, SLS will be prepared for integration atop the mobile launcher ahead of the Artemis II launch. Credit: NASA/Isaac Watson

ALT The core stage of the Artemis Space Launch System being loaded on a covered barge. The stage is a large cylinder shape with the engines facing toward the camera on two yellow transporters that are guiding the stage into a covered grey container in the background. The body of the cylinder is mostly an orange color and white around the bottom. The four engines on the bottom are covered with red material. Credit: NASA/Steven Seipel

ALT Framed by the launch tower and a bank of smoke, we get a low-angle view as Space Shuttle Atlantis' STS-135 mission was launched from Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center on July 8, 2011. STS-135 was the last Space Shuttle mission.
ALT Dramatic plumes (cloudy, white areas), both large and small, spray water ice out from many locations along the famed "tiger stripes" near the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The tiger stripes are fissures that spray icy particles, water vapor and organic compounds. More than 30 individual jets of different sizes can be seen in this image and more than 20 of them had not been identified before. This mosaic was created from two high-resolution images that were captured by the narrow-angle camera when NASA’s Cassini spacecraft flew past Enceladus and through the jets on Nov. 21, 2009.
