How does NASA’s Saturn image work?
To image Saturn, the spacecraft slews the NAC across Saturn, building up the image by mimicking our orbital ground motion. The slew across Saturn was achieved by pointing the NACs on one side of Saturn and then targeting the other side. LRO responded to the updated target by slewing to it at a specific rate across the planet.

How many rocky exoplanets orbit the TRAPPIST-1 star?
We’ve looked at the seven rocky exoplanets orbiting the TRAPPIST-1 star with ground and space telescopes like Spitzer, Kepler, Hubble, and, soon, the James Webb Space Telescope. In a press release on February 22, 2017, NASA announced the discovery of the most Earth-sized planets found in the habitable zone of a single star, called TRAPPIST-1.

What are the Antennae Galaxies?
The Antennae Galaxies are filled with black holes and neutron stars speeding up the evolution of stars. Initially discovered by William Herschel in 1788, it was believed that this inclined unbarred spiral galaxy was 30 million light-years away, until the Hubble Space Telescope determined it was much further at 46 million light-years.
What causes stars to form in galaxies?
Dust and gas is compressed from a pressure wave emanating from the core, causing them to form dense clouds until the pressure and temperature is high enough to form new stars. NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope captured this beautiful photo of new stars forming in an infrared ring around NGC 1291’s galactic core.

How does Cassini see Saturn in this image?
In this image, Cassini sees Saturn and the rings through a haze of Sun glare on the camera lens. In this image, Cassini sees Saturn and the rings through a haze of Sun glare on the camera lens. This view of Saturn looks toward the planet’s night side, lit by sunlight reflected from the rings.

What do we know about the TRAPPIST-1 planets?
Three of the TRAPPIST-1 planets – TRAPPIST-1e, f and g – dwell in their star’s so-called “habitable zone,” as of Feb 2017. Full resolution A comparison of the TRAPPIST-1 system to our solar system. The close orbits of the TRAPPIST-1 planets are reminiscent of Jupiter and its system of orbiting moons, as of Feb 2017.
