Juno took the photo 8,000 miles from the cloud tops during its 18th close flyby of Jupiter on February 12. Overall, 32 flybys are planned, so Juno is just beginning the second half of its flybys.
There’s a massive, growing wall of evidence showing that Mars may have had the necessary conditions for life in the past. ESA’s High-Resolution Camera on the Mars Express Orbiter, there are clear signs of a system of river valleys.
Opportunity landed on Mars more than 15 Earth years ago, on January 25, 2004. Originally designed for 90-day lifetimes, the rovers persisted. It roved a staggering 45.16 kilometers across the Red Planet.
Unlike the other planets in our solar system, Uranus is tipped on its side. This leaves the sun shining non-stop onto its north pole during its long summer, likely resulting in widespread atmospheric changes.
New NASA research confirms that Saturn is losing its iconic rings at the maximum rate. The rings have less than 100 million years to live. This is relatively short, compared to Saturn's age of over 4 billion years.
Astronomers have discovered a new extremely distant object far beyond Pluto with an orbit that supports the presence of an even-farther-out, Super-Earth or larger Planet X.
The discovery makes Titan the third Solar System body, in addition to Earth and Mars, where dust storms have been observed.
NASA recently released a 360-degree panoramic image based on images taken by the Curiosity rover, which showed its latest drilling site.
Hubble Space telescope snapped a series of stunning images of auroras dancing in the sky. The observations were taken before and after the Saturnian northern summer solstice.
A new analysis of 15 years of data from the Mars Express probe by a team of Italian scientists shows compelling evidence for their being liquid water beneath Mars southern polar region.
The ESA recently released stunning photos of a Martian storm front, which were acquired by the Mars Express orbiter in April of 2018.
This is a new picture of Neptune taken from the Earth. It’s nothing short of amazing.
Over the past 18 months, astronomers have painstakingly tracked a dozen tiny moons that they found circling the giant planet Jupiter.
Results from computer simulations confirm that young Uranus was involved in a cataclysmic collision with an object twice the mass of Earth.
A storm of tiny dust particles on Mars has prompted NASA's Opportunity rover to suspend science operations. The Martian dust storm has grown in size and is now officially a 'planet-encircling' (or 'global') dust event.
