Parker Solar Probe Captures Its First Images of Venus’ Surface in Visible Light

Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center NASA's Parker Solar Probe has taken its first visible-light pictures of the surface of Venus from space Surrounded in thick clouds, Venus' surface is usually hidden from view. However, in two current flybys of the Earth, Parker used its Wide-Field Imager, or WISPR, to image the whole nightside in wavelengths...

NASA Telescope Idea Could Spot Vegetation on Distant Exoplanets

Credit: Slava Turyshev NASA states it could detect "surface features" and even "hints of habitability" on distant planets. NASA is financing research for a conceptual telescope called a "solar gravitational lens" (SGL) that can allow us to observe remote exoplanets at a fantastic resolution-- a futuristic endeavor that might assist discovery at last if we...
