See What's Online at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory

This month in Space Watch, we're exploring awe-inspiring images and resources from the website of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at the California Institute of Technology.

JPL's projects include the Mars Science Laboratory mission with the Curiosity rover, the Cassini-Huygens mission orbiting Saturn, the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Dawn mission to the dwarf planet Ceres and asteroid Vesta, the Juno spacecraft en route to Jupiter, the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission to the Moon and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

The JPL website also features a video and audio section here.
