InSight lander has Mapped out the Interior of Mars

he InSight team has found that the Martian crust is thinner then expected (20 to 37 km) and its core is liquid with radius of about 1830 km.

Evidence of water vapor at Jupiter's moon Ganymede

For the first time, astronomers have uncovered evidence of water vapor in the atmosphere of Jupiter's moon Ganymede.

Methane Detected on Enceladus Could Actually Be a Sign of Life

Recently scientists have determined that no known process can be pumping out the amount of methane observed spewing from Saturn's moon Enceladus. That means it could be biological in origin.

Giant comet found in outer solar system by Dark Energy Survey

Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein is estimated to be about 1000 times more massive than a typical comet, making it arguably the largest comet discovered in modern times. 

Astrobiologists Detect a Signature of Life on Mars

When light shines on biological matter, part of the wavelength of the light that is reflected back is curled in either a clockwise or counterclockwise spiral. Astrobiologists used this phenomena in their remote sensing technique.

NASA's New Horizons Reaches a Rare Space Milestone

On April 17 New Horizons reached a rare deep-space milepost - 50 astronomical units from the Sun, or 50 times farther from the Sun than Earth is. New Horizons is just the fifth spacecraft to reach this great distance.

First X-rays from Uranus discovered

Astronomers have detected X-rays from Uranus using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This result may help scientists learn more about this enigmatic ice giant planet in our solar system.

Most distant solar system object yet detected

A dwarf planet in the extreme outer solar system that takes a thousand years to complete one trip around the Sun is knicknamed Farfarout. The frigid body is the most distant solar system object yet detected.

First audio recordings from Mars Perseverance rover

NASA’s Perseverance Rover that landed on Mars last month has beamed back historic audio recorded on the surface of the Red Planet.

China′s Tianwen-1 enters Mars orbit

A day after the UAE's Hope probe entered into the orbit of Mars, China has followed suit. In May, the probe will land a Chinese rover on Mars. The goal of Tianwen-1 is to survey the atmosphere from orbit.

NASA rover reaches Mars in search for signs of past life

Perseverance, the largest, most advanced rover NASA has sent to another world, touched down on Mars yesterday. The $2.4 billion rover arrived at Jezero Crater, a basin that scientists say was once flooded with liquid water.

'Signs of life' on Venus might just be ordinary sulfur gas

The widely-publicized detection of phosphine gas on Venus – a possible "biosignature" suggesting the hellish planet could have living microbes in its clouds – was probably caused by sulfur gas.

Titan's Largest Methane Sea is Over 100 Meters

Kraken Mare, a sea of liquid methane on Saturn's moon Titan, is at least 100-m deep near its center, according to a recent analysis of Cassini's data.

FM radio signal found coming from Jupiter moon

The Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter has discovered an FM radio signal coming from the moon Ganymede. The find is a first-time detection from the moon. The signal is of natural origin.

The Largest Sea On Titan Could Be Over 300 M Deep

A submarine mission to Saturn’s largest moon has long been under discussion. If such a mission was ever launched, it would have plenty of room to operate, because Titan’s largest sea, Kraken Mare, is likely more than 300 m deep.
