Astronomers using the NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope have detected a series of dark, bead-like and asymmetric star-shaped features in the ionosphere and stratosphere of Saturn.
A sample collected by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover from an ancient dry riverbed in Jezero Crater could preserve evidence of ancient microbial life.
Mars isn’t the neatly layered world we once imagined — its mantle is filled with ancient, jagged fragments left over from colossal impacts billions of years ago.
Asteroid Bennu, sampled by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission in 2020, is a mixture of dust that formed in our solar system, organic matter from interstellar space, and pre-solar system stardust.
Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a team has identified a previously unknown moon orbiting Uranus, expanding the planet’s known satellite family to 29.
Astronomers on Wednesday confirmed the discovery of an interstellar object racing through our solar system - only the third ever spotted, though scientists suspect many more may slip past unnoticed.
The researchers posit that the volcano could have supported conditions favorable for life in the once-watery Jezero crater.
A new panorama from NASA’s 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter shows one of the Red Planet’s biggest volcanoes, Arsia Mons, poking through a canopy of clouds just before dawn.
Scientists uncover secrets of lunar volcanic activity from ancient glass beads collected during Apollo missions, revealing the Moon's fiery history.
In new research, astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope searched for signs of interactions between the magnetic environment and the surfaces of Uranus and its four largest moons: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon.
Titan is the only moon in the Solar System with a significant atmosphere, and one that has long captivated planetary scientists.
When the New Horizons spacecraft swept past Pluto and Charon in 2015, it revealed two amazingly complex worlds and an active atmosphere on Pluto.
20 years of observations have given us more knowledge about the icy giant.
The JWST shows that ice on Europa is developing at different rates in different places, such as Tara Regio, where crystalline ice (lighter colors) is found on the surface as well as below the surface.
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.
