Meteor-like fireballs in the atmosphere of the Sun rain down like showers of shooting stars during the phenomenon of coronal rain, scientists have found.
Four small rooms, a gym and a lot of red sand - NASA unveiled its new Mars-simulation habitat, in which volunteers will live for a year at a time to test what life will be like on future missions to Earth.
NASA recently released a stunning new image of Saturn, depicting the planet's rings shining brightly against the blackness of space. The powerful space telescope has now captured all four gas giants in our solar system.
In a recent paper a UK physicist uses past missions and recent findings to encourage the importance of searching for life in the atmosphere of the solar system's most inhospitable planet, Venus.
Phosphorus is the least abundant essential element necessary for life, and its recent detection in icy grains from Enceladus could redefine how we look at life beyond Earth.
This plume is larger than any previously observed on the moon and may contain the necessary chemicals for life coming from below its icy surface.
Recent research shows that the changes in Jupiter's magnetic field are causing these mysterious colour shifts.
The cyclone on Uranus, compactly shaped with warm and dry air at its core, is much like those spotted at Saturn. Now,cyclones have been identified at the poles on every planet in our solar system except for Mercury.

A recent adjustment, in which the probe redirects a tiny amount of power meant for an onboard safety system, means all five scientific instruments aboard Voyager 2 can stay active until 2026, according to a NASA.
Scientists have detected sound waves moving through Mars’ core for the first time, offering new clues to the composition of the fourth planet from the Sun.
The James Webb Space Telescope continues to wow astronomers and the public alike with its infrared view of deep space targets. Now its Uranus.
US scientists say they've found evidence of a volcanic eruption in data captured 30 years ago by the Magellan spacecraft.
New findings suggest the water originates from the space between solar systems, billions of years before the birth of our sun.
Astronomers have counted 12 previously unknown moons in orbit around our Solar System's biggest planet, bringing the known total to 92, and leaving Saturn, with its measly count of 83, in the dust.
