This image of the young volcanic region of Elysium Planitia on Mars [10.3°N, 159.5°E] was taken on April 14, 2021, by the CaSSIS camera on…
Analysis of unique fingerprints in light emitted from material surrounding young stars has revealed “significant reservoirs” of large organic molecules necessary to form the basis…
New high-resolution observations clearly show a moon-forming region around exoplanet PDS 70c. The observations have allowed astronomers to determine the ring-shaped region’s size and mass…
The rocks it has analyzed for sample collection are helping the team better understand a past marked by volcanic activity and water. NASA’s Perseverance Mars…
Sitting more than five times the distance from the Sun as Earth, Jupiter is not expected to be particularly warm. Based on the amount of…
The rock core is now enclosed in an airtight titanium sample tube, and will be available for retrieval in the future. NASA’s Perseverance rover today…
Researchers led by Osaka University and NASA find that the distribution of cold planets in the Milky Way is not strongly dependent on the distance…
There are eight known planets in the solar system (ever since Pluto was booted from the club), but for a while, there has been some…
In the last two decades, we have all grown accustomed to rovers exploring Mars. At least one rover has been active on the planet every…
The Bernese theoretical astrophysicist Kevin Heng has achieved a rare feat: On paper, he has derived novel solutions to an old mathematical problem needed to…
Mars scientists have long suspected that the Red Planet, which was once warm and wet like Earth, has lost most of its water to outer…
Weizmann Institute scientists reveal how gigantic cyclones remain stable at both of Jupiter’s poles. Until recently, before NASA’s Juno space probe entered its orbit around…
Perseverance Scientists impressed with aerial images of location considered for rover exploration. Ask any space explorer, and they’ll have a favorite photograph or two from…
A new class of exoplanet very different to our own, but which could support life, has been identified by astronomers, which could greatly accelerate the…
