NASA’s InSight lander may have retired over a year ago, but the data it sent back to Earth, specifically the seismic speeds of marsquakes, could contain the best evidence yet of liquid water on Mars.

NASA’s Mars rover may have found the first possible signs that life existed on the Red Planet billions of years ago. An arrowhead-shaped rock has been identified that appears to contain chemical signatures and structures formed by microbial life. The 3.2ft by 2ft rock was discovered by the Perseverance...

A SPACEX capsule will guide the International Space Station back into orbit to burn up, with its remains plummeting into the ocean. Elon Musk's company won a $843 million contract to bring the aging station down in 2031, once it hits the 32-year mark. While it may seem like the...

Could we be trapped inside a simulated reality, rather than the physical universe we usually assume?. It's a tantalizing theory, long theorized by philosophers and popularized by the 1999 blockbuster "The Matrix." What if there was a way to find out once and for all if we're living inside a computer?

The secret to pterosaurs taking flight long before birds and bats dominated the air was wasn't feathers or hollow bones.
Although those features no doubt helped, new research shows that a lattice-like structure stopped pterosaurs' broad-ended tails fluttering like flags in the wind and instead, once stiffened, helped guide these flying reptiles into the sky.



					
			

Pterosaurs took to the skies using powered flight about 215 million years ago, the first vertebrates to do so. Although they started out small, amongst their ranks were some of the largest flying animals in Earth's history.
Like birds, pterosaurs had feathers, but they weren't birds, nor were...

There are literal oceans' worth of liquid water hiding out on Mars. There's just one big problem. That water is actually in Mars, at depths that are too far below the surface for us to access.



					
			

That's according to new analysis of seismic data collected by the  Mars InSight lander, for which huge reservoirs of liquid water are the best explanation. And, although that water is out of reach, it is an important piece of the strange puzzle of the aquatic history of our dry, desiccated, dusty neighbor.
"Understanding the Martian water cycle is critical for understanding the evolution of the...

The "visor" for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope recently completed several environmental tests simulating the conditions it will experience during launch and in space. Called the Deployable Aperture Cover, this large sunshade is designed to keep unwanted light out of the telescope. This milestone marks the halfway point for the cover's final sprint of testing, bringing it one step closer to integration with Roman's other subsystems this fall.

Researchers have found evidence for a large underground reservoir of liquid water on Mars – enough to fill oceans on the planet’s surface.Using data from Nasa’s Insight lander, the scientists estimated that the amount of groundwater could cover all of Mars to a depth of between one and two kilometres, or about a mile.But the experts say the reservoir is unlikely to be of much use to anyone trying to tap into it to supply a future Mars colony.It is located in tiny cracks and pores in rock in the middle of the Martian crust, between 11.5 and 20 kilometres...
