Sangaste, 30.10.2025. A group of common swans gathers on an open field in Estonia, preparing for their long migration south. As the days grow shorter and colder, these elegant birds rest and feed before taking flight toward warmer regions in Europe. Their presence marks the changing of the seasons and the start of their remarkable journey. Photo Arvo Meeks, Lõuna-Eesti Postimees

NASA's MAVEN Spacecraft Acquired Stunning Views Of Mars

NASA's MAVEN Spacecraft Acquired Stunning Views Of Mars

Handout photo - The second image is of Mars’ northern hemisphere and was taken in January 2023 after Mars had passed the farthest point in its orbit from the Sun. The rapidly changing seasons in the north polar region cause an abundance of white clouds. The deep canyons of Valles Marineris can be seen in tan at lower left, along with many craters. Scientists have shown off the Red Planet in a new light with the unveiling of two incredible images of Mars. NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) mission acquired "stunning views" of Mars in two ultraviolet images taken at different points along our neighbouring planet’s orbit around the Sun. By viewing the planet in ultraviolet wavelengths, scientists say they can gain insight into the Martian atmosphere and view surface features in remarkable ways. MAVEN’s Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) instrument obtained these global views of Mars in 2022 and 2023 when the planet was near opposite ends of its elliptical orbit.

Nunobiki Falls

Nunobiki Falls

Medaki waterfall of Nunobiki Falls, taken around the same time as photographs #2814 and #4240 (mid-Meiji Period). Today, more than a century later, it takes only a few minutes to reach this waterfall from Shin Kobe Station (Sanyo Shinkansen Line). The road on the left is now closed and the wooden bridge has been rebuilt in concrete. Despite the passage of time, the beautiful scenes of the changing seasons can still be enjoyed today.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐31‐2]
