The Red Planet isn't always—well, red. As seen in this false-color image from the HiRISE camera aboard NASA’s Mars orbiter, sometimes Mars is blue.

A rocky planet discovered within the habitable area of the star nearest to our Sun may be covered with oceans.

The planet, named Proxima b, may be an ocean planet similar to earth.

In fact, it may even be the first exoplanet (outside of our Solar System) to be visited by robots from Earth in time.

A runaway star lights the Flaming Star Nebula in this cosmic scene. Otherwise known as IC 405, the Flaming Star Nebula's billowing interstellar clouds of gas and dust lie about 1,500 light-years away toward the constellation of Auriga.

They might look like trees on Mars, but they're not. Groups of dark brown streaks have been photographed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on melting pinkish sand dunes covered with light frost. The above image was taken in 2008 April near the North Pole of Mars. At that time, dark sand on the interior of Martian sand dunes became more and more visible as the spring Sun melted the lighter carbon dioxide ice. When occurring near the top of a dune, dark sand may cascade down the dune leaving dark surface streaks.
