Leaving from Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape  Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The spacecraft will embark on a five-year journey  to Jupiter. The solar-powered spacecraft will orbit Jupiter's poles 33  times to find out more about the gas giant's origins, structure,  atmosphere and magnetosphere and investigate the existence of a solid  planetary core. <img src="http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/infocus/nasa081211/s_n02_anim0001.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This animated sequence from NASA's Solar Dynamics  Observatory AIA imager shows the evaporation of a sun-grazing comet as  it disintegrated over about a 15-minute period. These  observations made in extreme ultraviolet light show the comet's material  interact with the corona of the Sun. The angle of the comet's orbit  brought it across the front half of the Sun. It's not immediately  obvious, but if you watch the movie closely, you'll see a line of light  appear in the right just off the edge of the Sun and move across to the  left. Given the intense heat and radiation, the comet simply evaporated  away completely. The comet was probably a member of the Kreutz  sun-grazer family. <img src="http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/infocus/nasa081211/s_n03_15945273.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The terminator of Mercury, shown here in color, is  the line between light and dark, or day and night, seen here in an image  from NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft taken on June 7, 2011. On Mercury,  three days are equivalent to two years, or in other words, the planet  spins around its axis three times for every two orbits around the Sun.  The first Mercury year of the MESSENGER mission ended on Monday, June  13, 2011. <img src="http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/infocus/nasa081211/s_n04_or.8band.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A color image of Mercury's surface, seen by NASA's  MESSENGER spacecraft on June 26, 2011. Highlighted in this image are  Basho, the dark-haloed crater at the top right of this scene, Kalidasa  crater, the bright crater near the center, along with Tolstoj basin on  the left, in beautiful color. Many different types of surface materials  are found in this region, including crater rays, low reflectance  material (LRM), and smooth plains within Tolstoj. <img src="http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/infocus/nasa081211/s_n05_RTR2PMKS.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This NASA satellite image shows Typhoon Muifa near Taiwan on August 4, 2011. </blockquote>
