When the four-decades-old Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft entered interstellar space in 2012 and 2018, respectively, scientists celebrated. These plucky spacecraft had already traveled…
NASA’s STEREO-A and ESA/NASA’s SOHO spacecraft detected a coronal mass ejection, or CME, leaving the Sun on April 17 at 12:36 p.m. EDT. This CME…
Simulation led by University of Chicago geoscientist finds missing piece to Martian climate puzzle. One of the great mysteries of modern space science is neatly…
Rain is a common phenomenon on Earth. There is a similar phenomenon on the Sun, called coronal rain. It is related to the coronal heating…
During the week of April 26, members of NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) will participate in a “tabletop exercise” to simulate an asteroid impact scenario. The…
The interaction of two doomed stars has created this spectacular ring adorned with bright clumps of gas — a diamond necklace of cosmic proportions. Fittingly…
The craft’s April 25 flight was conducted at speeds and distances beyond what had ever been previously demonstrated, even in testing on Earth. NASA’s Ingenuity…
NASA’s Gateway lunar outpost will address one of the biggest concerns for space travel beyond Earth’s orbit by measuring radiation levels within the spacecraft with…
There are many things humanity must overcome before any return journey to Mars is launched. The two major players are NASA and SpaceX, which work…
Thanks to an MIT-designed instrument called MOXIE, a NASA mission has produced oxygen on another planet for the first time. NASA’s Perseverance rover has been…
