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.
The European Space Agency's Gaia mission spotted hundreds of potential moons, orbiting around more than 350 previously unknown asteroids lurking within the solar system.
Venus and Earth seem like twins who, through dramatically different circumstances and choices, ended up leading dramatically different lives.
The origins of the Moon have been the cause of many a scientific debate over the years but more recently we seem to have settled on a consensus.
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.
New research has revealed that the surface of Uranus’ moon Ariel is coated with a significant amount of carbon dioxide ice, particularly on its trailing hemisphere, which always faces away from the moon’s direction of orbital motion.
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.
Mosses are among Earth's great terraformers, turning barren rock into fertile soils, and now a team of scientists is proposing these non-vascular plants could do the same on Mars.
A team of researchers has uncovered evidence of its origins in the atmosphere, where carbon dioxide bathed in ultraviolet sunlight reacted to form a mist of carbon molecules that rained onto the planet's surface.
From around 2,400 miles away, the probe’s Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument “revealed that the whole surface of Io is covered by lava lakes contained in caldera-like features.
The shape of the Solar System was once a little more on the doughy side. Before it arranged itself into a flattened disk, the distribution of dust and rocks had more in common with a donut than a pancake.
The glow above the Great Red Spot on Jupiter has recently been discovered and the researchers suspect that something else altogether is causing it - powerful gravitational interactions rarely seen on Earth.
An international team of researchers combine orbital imagery with seismological data from NASA’s Mars InSight lander to derive a new impact rate for meteorite strikes on Mars.
