ESCAPADE’s first selfies This image shows two side-by-side “selfie” views of a solar panel on one of NASA’s ESCAPADE spacecraft, taken on November 21, 2025. The visible-light image on the left shows the edge of the solar panel. The infrared image on the right shows the same panel glowing in shades of yellow, orange, purple, and black, revealing which regions of the array are warmer or cooler.
