Recent images of features in Saturn's C ring called plateaus have deepened the mystery surrounding them. It turns out that these bright bands have a streaky texture that is very different from the textures of the regions around them. The central feature in this image, called Plateau P1, is found approximately 47,300 miles (76,200 kilometers) from Saturn's center. It is situated amid some undulating structure that characterizes this region of the C ring. None of this structure is well understood. This image reveals three different textures with different kinds of structure. The plateau itself is shot through with elongated streaks, while the brighter parts of the undulating structure have more clumpy texture that is similar to the straw seen previously in the A ring, and the dimmer parts of the undulating structure have no apparent texture at all. These textures provide information about different ways in which the ring particles are interacting with each other, though scientists have n

This mosaic shows various scenes captured from a location called Housedon Hill by the ChemCam instrument aboard NASA's Curiosity Mars rover between September 9 and October 23, 2020 (Sols 2878 and 2921). ChemCam uses a laser to zap rock and soil, then studies the resulting vapor to determine the composition of different material from a distance. The instrument's Remote Microscopic Imager camera takes black-and-white images so that scientists can look closely at the material before and after laser zaps. Early in the mission, the team discovered that the camera can be used like a telescope, looking at distant horizons rather than nearby rock textures. While parked at a location nicknamed Mary Anning, they used the camera to repeatedly take pictures of the landscape, assembling them all into this long mosaic. This image includes the mosaic as well as several detail shots.

This is the first image taken by NASA's Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars the evening of Aug. 5 PDT (morning of Aug. 6 EDT). It was taken through a fisheye wide-angle lens on one of the rover's front right Hazard-Avoidance cameras.

Today's VIS image is located along the margin of Ultima Lingula, where the polar cap meets the surrounding plains. The feature in the center of the image is a chasma where the ice has eroded down the the surface of the plains. The extensive layering of the polar ice was created by seasonal deposits of ice and dust. Orbit Number 75279 Latitude -76.2526 Longitude 134.315 Instrument VIS Captured 2018-12-03 17 40

P-29520 BW Range 130,000 kilometers (80,000 miles) This mosaic, taken through the clear-filter, narrow-angle camera, of the four highest-resolution images of Ariel represents the most detailed Voyager 2 picture of this satellite of Uranus. Ariel is about 1,200 km (750 mi) in diameter; the resolution here is 2.4 km (1.5 mi). Much of Ariel's surface is densely pitted with craters 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 mi) across. These craters are close to the threshold of detection in this picture. Numerous valleys and fault scarps crisscross the highly pitted terrain. voyager scientists believe the valleys have formed over down-dropped fault blocks (graben); apparently, extensive faulting has occured as a result of expansion and stretching of Ariel's crust. The largest fault valleys, near the terminator at right, as well as a smooth region near the center of this image, have been partly filled with deposits that are younger and less heavily cratered than the pitted terrain. Narrow, somewhat sinuous scarps
