According to a new analysis of the Lafayette Meteorite, minerals within it formed in the presence of water 742 million years ago. It's a real breakthrough in the dating of aqueous minerals on Mars.
Astrobiologist Dirk Schulze-Makuch believes that humans may have unintentionally killed life on Mars in the 1970s.
For decades, we've thought we had a pretty good grasp of Uranus. The penultimate planet, our best measurements suggest, has a whole slew of idiosyncrasies. And one of the most puzzling is its magnetic field.
A Chinese rover has brought forth evidence that hints at the likelihood of a massive ocean, covering almost a third of the Red Planet, that existed billions of years ago.
Researchers have discovered what may be a long-hidden record of ancient impact craters on Venus, shedding light on a planetary history distinct from Earth's.
The science team thinks that igneous and/or metamorphic processes likely formed the rock.
The rings of Saturn are some of the most famous and spectacular objects in the Solar System. Earth may once have had something similar.
The hidden Mars structures are mysterious because they appear to be significantly denser than their surroundings.
Recent images reveal a newly formed volcano. It is complete with multiple expansive lava flows and surrounding volcanic deposits, spanning an area of approximately 180 by 180 km — an impressive addition to Io’s volatile surface.
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.
