The sky as seen by the WISE All-Sky Survey  
2013 Post-Cryo Data Release
The 2013 Release consists of over 900,000 3.4 and 4.6 micron images and a database of over 7.3 billion source detections extracted from those images, acquired by WISE between Sept. 29, 2010 and Feb, 1, 2011 after the satellite's solid hydrogen cryogen was completely exhausted.

This image a small blue body and a large red-striped body orbiting in a binary system.  Encircling them is a ring of red dust, and in the background lies a starry night sky.  
Mystery Dust
Astronomer's using WISE data have discovered dust in an unusual place--just outside the reach of a binary star system with a short hour orbit.

Comet Hartley 2.
Comet Hartley 2
New findings from NEOWISE show that comet Hartley 2 leaves a pebbly trail as it laps the Sun, dotted with grains as big as golf balls.
