The discovery of boron on Mars gives scientists more clues about whether life could have ever existed on the planet, according to a new paper.
InSight will do a deep dive into the Martian underground, putting two instruments onto the surface that will ferry information back from the depths.
weJames Webb telescope will study the “ocean worlds” of Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus, the telescope’s observations could also help guide future missions to the icy moons.
Nasa’s Cassini spacecraft is set to commence its final five orbits around Saturn, marking the final phase of its exploration mission of the planet.
The agency is considering how to conduct science experiments on the Deep Space Gateway station, even while no crew members are on board.
Scientists have discovered the strongest evidence to date for a stratosphere on a planet outside our solar system.
NASA is working on the most powerful rocket ever built: the Space Launch System. What could it be used for to explore the Solar System?
