The European Space Agency (ESA) has released a new set of photos captured by the BepiColombo probe that showcases some very clear images of Mercury as well as "tectonic and volcanic curiosities."

A recent NASA Astronomy Photo of the Day selection showcases all the visible colors of the Sun. The beautiful image was created by the McMath-Pierce Solar Observatory and shows that while the Sun often appears bright white, it emits light of nearly every color.

As more satellites are sent into space, images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope are more frequently being spoiled. In March, scientists published a study about the adverse impact of satellites on Hubble observations, and now, Hubble scientists have developed new software to mitigate the issue and remove the troublesome satellites from photos.

Unistellar says that it has developed a new technology that can eliminate city light pollution when taking photos or just stargazing through its telescopes.

The European Space Agency (ESA) will broadcast the first ever live stream from Mars -- showing new images every 50 seconds as they come in from the Mars Express spacecraft.

Much to the chagrin of tigers everywhere, Jupiter can change its stripes, although an explanation of how the gas giant changes its colors and famous "stripes" has long evaded scientists. Researchers at the University of Leeds in England believe they've found the answer and can explain why the bands on Jupiter move and change.
