This dynamic image was taken by the 1A probe on September 22 at around 11:44 Japan time (15:44 Israel time). The image shows the surface of the asteroid Ryugo during a jump. In the left half of the image, the surface of Ryogo is visible, while the bright spot on the left side was created as a result of exposure to sunlight.

Opportunity's panoramic camera (Pancam) took the images that make up this display, from its position outside the Endeavor Crater during the period between June 7 and June 19, 2017. On the right side of the image you can see a wide slot on the summit of the western rim of the crater. This is Perseverance Valley where she is today.

The image shows the distribution of ice on the surface of the Moon's South Pole (left) and North Pole (right), as observed by NASA's Lunar Mapper. The blue color represents the locations of the ice deposits, the gray color marks the surface temperature ( dark representing cold areas and light shades indicating warm areas). The ice is concentrated in the darkest and coldest places, on the crater floors. This is the first time that scientists have directly identified absolute evidence of water ice on the surface of the moon. Photo: NASA

NASA has confirmed the presence of ice at the poles of the moon
