On April 21, the 2012 Lyrid meteor shower peaked in the skies over Earth. While NASA allsky cameras were looking up, astronaut Don Pettit aboard the International Space Station trained his video camera on Earth below. Video footage has revealed breathtaking images of meteors ablating -- or burning up -- over Earth at night. This video is a composite of 310 still frames from that evening. (NASA/JSC/Don Pettit)

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has spotted the mysterious objects creating trails in the rings that scientists are calling 'mini-jets'. Some of these objects travel in groups creating rippling swirls and eddies in the planet's strange ring.

A beautiful prominence eruption producing a coronal mass ejection (CME) shot off the east limb (left side) of the sun on April 16, 2012. Such eruptions are often associated with solar flares, and in this case an M1 class (medium-sized) flare occurred at the same time, peaking at 1:45 PM EDT. The CME was not aimed toward Earth.

For years, scientists have thought a bow “shock” formed ahead of our solar system’s heliosphere as it moved through interstellar space – similar to the sonic boom made by a jet breaking the sound barrier.

Planetary exploration is in trouble. Massive budget cuts threaten to starve NASA's planetary program for years to come. I'm fighting back with passion—passion for the incredible adventure that began half a century ago and has given us countless wonders and amazing discoveries. I've made this video as a call to action. Please share it with your friends and family. And tell Washington, "We Must Explore!" by going to: www.planetary.org/get-involved/be-a-space-advocate/
