APOD: 2023 March 17 - The Medusa Nebula
A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.apod.nasa.gov
Recent volcanic activity has been observed on Venus for the first time.
Scientists made the discovery by poring over archival radar images of Earth’s twin taken in the '90s by our Magellan mission. Our VERITAS mission is set to investigate: go.nasa.gov/3mP5f9O

Sea ice around Antarctica reached its lowest extent on Feb. 21, 2023, at 1.79 million square kilometers (691,000 square miles).
This is the lowest extent ever observed since the start of the satellite record in 1979.
