Saturn is losing its rings at 'worst-case-scenario' rate

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.

New distant solar system object found during hunt for Planet X

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.

Dust storms on Titan spotted for the first time

The discovery makes Titan the third Solar System body, in addition to Earth and Mars, where dust storms have been observed.

A 360-Degree View Around Curiosity on Mars

NASA recently released a 360-degree panoramic image based on images taken by the Curiosity rover, which showed its latest drilling site.

Hubble Captures Enormous Northern Auroras on Saturn

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.

Underground Liquid Water Found on Mars

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.

Martian Dust Storm as it was Just Getting Going

The ESA recently released stunning photos of a Martian storm front, which were acquired by the Mars Express orbiter in April of 2018.

'Cataclysmic' collision shaped Uranus

Results from computer simulations confirm that young Uranus was involved in a cataclysmic collision with an object twice the mass of Earth.

Martian dust storm grows global

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.

A giant dust storm is raging on Mars

One of the thickest dust storms ever seen on Mars has been spreading since early June. The Opportunity rover - 1 of 2 active rovers on Mars - has suspended science operations.

Organics on Ceres may be more abundant

A new analysis of data from NASA's Dawn mission suggests that organic matter may exist in surprisingly high concentrations on the dwarf planet's surface.

Scientists have found organic molecules on Mars

The finding has significant implications for whether life once existed on Mars.

Dawn spacecraft dropping to record low altitude at Ceres

Starting in early June, Dawn will begin collecting gamma ray and neutron spectra to better understand the composition of the topmost rock and soil layers while taking high-resolution photographs of dwarf planet Ceres.
