NASA's Artemis II crew became the first humans in over 50 years to loop around the moon's far side on April 6, traveling farther from Earth than any before them. The astronauts captured unprecedented views, including close-ups of craters and a unique solar eclipse. They are now heading back for a splashdown off California on April 10.
Nasa has released images captured by the Psyche spacecraft during its recent flyby of Mars. The photos were taken as the probe used the planet's gravity to adjust its trajectory toward the asteroid 16 Psyche.

Nasa's Psyche spacecraft has used Mars' gravity to accelerate toward its target asteroid. The maneuver occurred on May 15 when the probe passed close to the planet.
Researchers have traced the origins of diverse early space rocks to a dust trap just outside Jupiter's orbit. The findings come from computer simulations matching meteorite compositions found on Earth. They suggest this region produced multiple generations of planetesimals over millions of years.
