It's a first for interplanetary spaceflight, and it's a Juice-y one! On Aug. 19-20 the ESA's Juice mission spacecraft will make the first lunar-Earth flyby ever, using the gravity of both the Moon and Earth to bend its path as it travels to Jupiter to explore its moons. 🛰🌕🌏

In Alaska’s Valley of 10,000 Smokes, glaciers are buried under huge piles of volcanic ash. Mars, too, has debris-covered glaciers. Emileigh Shoemaker & her team used Ground Penetrating Radar to gather info about long stretches of the subsurface before physically breaking ground.

Heather Graham examines Earth’s extreme environments for the chemical traces that microbial life leaves behind. Here, they’re studying a fumarole – a place where volcanic gases escape from underground – using a hydrogen sulfide collector and sampling equipment.

A star’s habitable zone is the range of distances where conditions may be just right for liquid water to exist on the surface of an orbiting planet. Like toasting a perfectly golden marshmallow on a campfire, it can’t be too hot … or too cold: go.nasa.gov/4dUUqbE

Mars was once wet – so what happened to its water? 💧 Hubble teamed up with the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission to find out more about how much water there was, what happened to it, and how its atoms escape into space: go.nasa.gov/3MBBbbv
