New data about the Martian crust gathered by NASA's InSight lander allowed geophysicists to estimate that the amount of groundwater could cover the entire planet to a depth of between 1 and 2 km.
Venus and Earth seem like twins who, through dramatically different circumstances and choices, ended up leading dramatically different lives.
Researchers has recently found that nearby storms would strengthen the Great Red Spot, increasing its size. The current shrinking spot may be due to a lack of smaller storms in its diet.
Nasa has announced the first detection of possible biosignatures in a rock on the surface of Mars.
A new research suggests that underneath, the tiny world harbors a glittering interior fit to be the jewel in the crown of our Solar System.
Among several recent findings, the rover has found rocks made of pure sulfur — a first on the Red Planet.
A team of researchers has uncovered evidence of its origins in the atmosphere, where carbon dioxide bathed in ultraviolet sunlight reacted to form a mist of carbon molecules that rained onto the planet's surface.
From around 2,400 miles away, the probe’s Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument “revealed that the whole surface of Io is covered by lava lakes contained in caldera-like features.
The glow above the Great Red Spot on Jupiter has recently been discovered and the researchers suspect that something else altogether is causing it - powerful gravitational interactions rarely seen on Earth.
An international team of researchers combine orbital imagery with seismological data from NASA’s Mars InSight lander to derive a new impact rate for meteorite strikes on Mars.
The imbalance is due to Saturn's large orbital eccentricity, resulting in huge seasonal variations in absorbed solar energy.
After months of driving, Perseverance has finally arrived at "Bright Angel", discovering oddly textured rock unlike any the rover has seen before.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) is one of the Solar System's defining features. It's a massive storm that astronomers have observed since the 1600s. However, its date of formation and longevity are up for debate.
In addition to producing auroras, a recent extreme storm provided more detail on how much radiation future astronauts could encounter on the Red Planet.
Using the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large Binocular Telescope on Mount Graham in Arizona, the United States, astronomers have captured the highest resolution optical images of Io ever obtained from a ground-based telescope.
