Four planets will be in the parade in January while seven will align in February. Here's how to see the events.
Voyager 1 discovers tiny moon at Saturn. The Dodgers keep adding to their payroll. The two-year-old company raised its previous funding round of $300 million at a $1.5 billion valuation last July from investors including Jeff Bezos,
Titan is the only moon in our solar system with a significant atmosphere. Now we have a very good idea of how this dense atmosphere formed.
All month, four planets — Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars — will appear to line up and be bright enough to see with the naked eye in the first few hours after dark, according to NASA.
NASA's NIAC program is investing in visionary ideas that could revolutionize space exploration. From fusion-powered spacecraft to lunar habitats made of glass and robots designed to explore icy moons,
Jupiter's Great Red Spot storm, which usually appears dark-red, can be seen shining a lurid blue color in an ultraviolet image of the planet.
On the evenings of Jan. 17 and 18, the planets will appear virtually side by side, in what's called a “planetary conjunction.”
NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission discovered molecules vital to life and a history of saltwater on asteroid Bennu. The findings suggest essential conditions for life were present across the early solar system,
NASA's MMS mission discovered whistler-mode chorus waves in an unexpected region, the terrestrial mid-tail neutral sheet, revealing new insights into wave-particle dynamics. These findings challenge previous beliefs about magnetic dipole influences,
Samples of Bennu were brought back to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft in 2023. Now, a pair of newly published papers reveal that the samples contain precursors to life that formed in a watery environment—a watery environment very similar to the one that prevailed on Earth before life emerged up to four billion years ago.
