Researchers confirmed the presence of crystalline water ice in a dusty debris disk that orbits a Sun-like star 155 light-years away using detailed data known as spectra from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.
After a decade of searching, NASA's MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere Volatile Evolution) mission has, for the first time, reported a direct observation of an elusive atmospheric escape process called sputtering.
Volcanoes often give little warning before they erupt, but now scientists have discovered an unexpected early warning sign—trees.
A green glow snapped from Mars marks the first time that an aurora has been observed from the surface of another planet.
Data from NASA's Magellan mission suggests Venus could be more geologically active than previously thought. The data shows compelling evidence for ongoing tectonic activity shaping Venus's surface features.
NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory helped diagnose the cause behind a large kink in a huge filament near the center of the Milky Way.
After over three decades of scrutinising our Universe, Hubble remains a household word as the most well-recognised telescope in scientific history.
In a new image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a galaxy named for its resemblance to a broad-brimmed Mexican hat appears more like an archery target.
NASA's new infrared space telescope, SPHEREx, is designed to give us unprecedented insights into the evolution of the Universe.
NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest Africa.
For the first time, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured bright auroral activity on Neptune.
The discovery is one of the most significant findings in the search for evidence of past life on Mars.
Global sea level rose faster than expected in 2024, mostly because of ocean water expanding as it warms, or thermal expansion.
To lay the foundations for a lunar navigation system, NASA's Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE) has successfully received global positioning system (GPS) signals beamed from Earth's orbit.
A new international study partially funded by NASA on how Mars got its iconic red color adds to evidence that Mars had a cool but wet and potentially habitable climate in its ancient past.
