Astonomer Andrew McCarthy published a stunning 85 megapixel composite photo of the moon. The image was created by processing 24,000 phootgraphs taken using a 2000mm telescope.
Researchers have successfully demonstrated quantum entanglement on a cube satellite. A miniture device placed on the SpooQy-1 cubesat demostrated quantum entanglement between pairs of photons within the tiny 20cm x 10cm satellite. This work follows the Chinese Micius satellite which demostrated quantum teleportation over thousands of kilometers.
Callum Prentice and his 8 year old daughter built a website to explore the millions of photos of the earth taken by the International Space Station. The website allows you to enter high level latitude and longitude coordinates to see photos from that area, like this photo of Dublin city.
Using the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft, NASA have measured how solar winds interact with Mars to map the electric field around the planet.
Scientists are combining high resolution Hubble telescope images of Jupiter with near-infrared images taken from the Gemini Observatory and data from NASA's Juno Jupiter orbiter to study thunderstorms and other weather phenomena on Jupiter!
Researchers at the University of Central Lanchashire (UCLan) released the highest-ever resolution images of the sun, taken using NASA's High Resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C). The images show magentic strands of million-degree 500km wide plasma on the sun! Check out their Flickr gallery here.
