Liquid water previously detected under Mars’ ice-covered south pole is probably just a dusty mirage, according to a new study of the red planet led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin.
Source: Inverse.com NASA’S JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE (JWST) has finally reached its cosmic perch, and is gearing up for its observations of the ancient universe. On Monday, JWST settled into its final orbit at the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point, or L2. This is a gravitationally stable point where the Sun and Earth’s gravity cancel each other out. The
Mimas, the smallest and innermost of Saturn’s eight main moons, may be warm enough to harbor a global, liquid water ocean beneath a 24-31-km (15-19-mile) thick ice shell, according to a new analysis of data from NASA’s Cassini mission.

After analyzing powdered rock samples collected from the surface of Mars by NASA’s Curiosity rover, scientists have announced that several of the samples are rich in a type of carbon that on Earth is
For only the second time, astronomers have detected what appears to be a moon orbiting a planet in another solar system. Just like the first time, this one has traits suggesting that such moons may differ greatly from those populating our solar system.
NASA’s top scientist has worked his final days, and now he’s moving on to greener … planets?
A WHOPPING three asteroids will zip past Earth tomorrow ahead of the nerve-shredding pass of an Empire State Building-sized rock next week.
A NASA spacecraft has officially “touched” the sun, plunging through the unexplored solar atmosphere known as the corona
Using data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and several ground-based facilities, astronomers have discovered a long-period sub-Neptune exoplanet orbiting TOI-2257. Intriguingly, the planet’s orbit is highly elliptical, suggestive of a possible perturbing outer gas-giant planet in the TOI-2257 system.
If not for clouds, the half-tonne fireball would have been easily visible in the day, maybe about 100 times the brightness of a full moon
