Using the Hubble Space Telescope, for the first time, astronomers have observed the atmosphere of an extrasolar planet evaporating off into space.
Much of this planet may eventually disappear, leaving only a dense core. The planet is a type of extrasolar planet known as a hot Jupiter. These giant, gaseous planets orbit their stars very closely, drawn to them like moths to a flame

This animated tour takes us first past a red giant locked in orbit with a black hole and its accretion disk; then through a spiral galaxy much like our own Milky Way; and then flies over a massive black hole with an accretion disk and jets

The Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) mission will provide the first detailed exploration of the Earths unique and elusive noctilucent or night shining clouds that are found literally on the edge of space.
Located near the top of the Earths mesosphere (the region just above the stratosphere), very little is known about how these polar mesospheric clouds form or why they vary
