NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered several thousand small, light-toned rock fragments, or float rocks, with some exhibiting spectral signatures...
Using data captured by the SuperCam microphone aboard NASA’s Perseverance rover over two Martian years, planetrary scientists have detected 55 triboelectric...
A team of researchers from Japan has tested protenemata (juvenile moss), brood cells (specialized stem cells that emerge under stress conditions) and sporophytes...
The newly-discovered moon has an estimated diameter of 38 km (23.6 miles) and a V magnitude of 28, likely making it the faintest satellite ever found around...
NASA’s STEREO (Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory), the NASA/ESA SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory), and NASA’s PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify...
For decades, scientists have been baffled by two enormous structures buried deep inside Earth. These anomalies may retain geochemical signatures distinct...
The Moon formed from a giant impact of the proto-Earth with the ancient protoplanet Theia. In a new study, a team of scientists from the United States,...
The new ultraviolet (UV) images from the Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) camera aboard NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN)...
The new images from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera onboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will allow astronomers to better...
Thanks to the data collected by the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) onboard ESA’s Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) spacecraft orbiting Mars,...
A member of the ICQ Comet Observations group has released a new image of 3I/ATLAS, the third object and the second comet from outside the Solar System...
To determine the motion of the Solar System, Bielefeld University astrophysicist Lukas Böhme and his colleagues analyzed the distribution of radio galaxies.
An...
Some of the latest images of 3I/ATLAS — the third confirmed interstellar object to be detected passing through our Solar System, following 1I/ʻOumuamua...
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse disrupted light-dark cycles for North American birds during the lead-up to spring reproduction. Compiling more...
Titan offers great motivation for the detailed study of organic chemistry in unconventional conditions. Nonpolar hydrocarbons such as ethane and methane...
On some of the dune fields on Mars, parallel channels, called linear dune gullies, are found. Contrary to their name these gullies are often highly sinuous....
Exploring the possibility of the survival of life under extraterrestrial conditions is an important goal of astrobiology. In a new study, scientists used...
This happens due to plate tectonics and movements in the bedrock, caused by the large ice sheets on top melting and reducing pressure on the subsurface,...
Roughly 4.3 billion years ago, when our Solar System was still in its infancy, a giant asteroid slammed into the far side of the Moon, blasting an enormous...
During its closest approach to Mars on October 3, 2025, 3I/ATLAS was 30 million km away from ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO).
This image of the...
