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.
Unlike Earth, the Moon doesn't have much of a magnetic field – and yet, a strange pile of rocks on the far side seems mysteriously magnetized.
Astronomers have used Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) to show that more than three-quarters of the Universe's ordinary matter has been hiding in the thin gas between galaxies.
Astronomers have detected cyanocoronene (C24H11CN) - the largest PAH ever detected in space - in the starless cloud core TMC-1, which is part of the interstellar Taurus Molecular Cloud.
Scientists uncover secrets of lunar volcanic activity from ancient glass beads collected during Apollo missions, revealing the Moon's fiery history.
A supermassive black hole in the early Universe has been spotted blasting out powerful jets of plasma that are at least twice as long as the Milky Way is wide.
It's hard to imagine something as big as the Universe not having a center at all, but physics says that's the reality.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have captured breathtakingly detailed images of two giant exoplanets orbiting a distant sun-like star.
Dark matter affects how stars move within galaxies, how galaxies build up over time, and how everything in the universe is held together - but no existing tool has directly detected it. While dark matter does not reflect, absorb, or emit light, it can still be indirectly observed by telescopes.
Astronomers have discovered the largest known cloud of energetic particles surrounding a galaxy cluster - the 20-million-light-year-wide cloud around the galaxy cluster PLCK G287.0+32.9.
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.
Rising “atmospheric thirst” – also known as atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) – is responsible for about 40% of the increase in drought severity over the last four decades (1981-2022).
Titan is the only moon in the Solar System with a significant atmosphere, and one that has long captivated planetary scientists.
Astronomers in Hawaii detected three different stars being devoured by supermassive black holes that released more energy than 100 supernovas. These are the largest explosions since the Big Bang.
