Stunning Planetary Conjunction on August 14: Jupiter and Mars Appear Closer Than Ever—Here’s When and How to Watch

After exploring the bottom of a Martian crater for three and a half years, NASA's Perseverance is preparing for the steep climb out. NASA announced Wednesday that the car-sized rover would begin a monthslong ascent out of Jezero Crater next week. The journey is expected to be more challenging than any Perseverance has taken on yet.

An international team of astronomers employing NASA’s Webb Space Telescope captured an exoplanet 12 light years away, and in a location that may be familiar to fans of science fiction. The alien planet orbits the K-type star Epsilon Indi A, which is around the same age as Earth’s Sun, but is slightly cooler.

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of exoplanets with extremely small orbits around their stars. But what about exoplanets that get close enough to be devoured by their star, and what if it's an Earth-sized exoplanet?. This is what a recent study posted to the arXiv preprint server and accepted to...

SCIENTISTS have discovered a unique trait on the metal-rich asteroid Psyche by using the James Webb Space Telescope. Researchers identified a water component on the mysterious – and priceless – asteroid 16 Psyche, suggesting that hydration exists in the form of rust. In 2017, researchers discovered traces of water on Psyche’s surface. “Spectra from the […]

A ‘SMILEY face’-shaped salt deposit on Mars could be hiding traces of the last-surviving life on the Red Planet, new research suggests. Mars was once home to sprawling lakes and rivers that evaporated around three billion years ago during a global freeze. But some very salty pools of water remained, due to their lower freeze […]
