On the scale of cataclysmic events, the whomping impact of a Mars-sized object that crashed into Earth some 4.5 billion years ago ranks pretty highly: thought to have set in motion the movement of our planet's fractured, rocky crust.
A new study details dissociative recombination, which may have led to Venus losing its water.
Motorcyclists have long ridden on an apparatus called the “wall of death,” which involves driving in circles parallel to the ground. Scientists are theorizing that something similar could be used for astronauts to exercise on the Moon.
The mystery of life’s origins on Earth has long puzzled scientists, but a recent discovery on Mars might be shedding new light on this profound question, while also inching closer to finding life on Mars.
A small team of planetary scientists from U.S. reports possible new evidence of Planet 9.
These so called "spiders" are the result of a complex geological process that causes carbon dioxide to sublimate, digging up darker material from below the surface during the planet's spring.
Imagery from the solar-powered spacecraft provides close-ups of intriguing features on the hellish Jovian moon.
469219 Kamo’oalewa as a near-Earth asteroid and a quasi-satellite to Earth. However, in 2021, astronomers using spectroscopy revealed that Kamo’oalewa might in fact be a piece of the moon.
BepiColombo made two flybys of Venus on its journey to Mercury. The spacecraft found carbon and oxygen escaping into space in a previously unexplored region of Venus’ magnetosphere.
NASA has given the green light for the nuclear-powered v rotorcraft to explore Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Approval for the 2028 interplanetary mission comes after years of delay due to COVID-19 and a series of cost overruns.
Ceres, the largest asteroid in our solar system, harbors a dark secret: extremely young ice deposits in permanently shadowed craters near its poles.
The experts attribute the formation of the unique heart-shaped terrain to a colossal oblique-angle collision with a celestial body approximately 700 kilometers in diameter – roughly twice the size of Switzerland from east to west.
Scientists seem to have figured out why the Moon is made up of such weird and heavy rocks - way back in the day, it turned itself inside out.
The White House in U.S. has recently directed NASA to establish a unified standard of time for the moon and other celestial bodies.
The differential rotation seems to be reined in by long-period oscillations of sound waves in the convection zone that can be detected on the surface as swirling motions around the poles.
