A Rain of Icy Particles Is Affecting the Giant Planet’s Weather The planet Saturn is easily recognizable for its opulent ring system that can easily…
New Evidence That Venus Is Volcanically Active New research provides strong evidence of volcanic activity on Venus. The study identified a nearly 1-square-mile volcanic vent…
Gas giants orbiting our sun show a clear pattern; the more massive the planet, the lower the percentage of “heavy” elements (anything other than hydrogen…
Imagine a gaseous exoplanet five times the size of Jupiter but much closer to its star as Mercury is to our Sun. This planet orbits…
Forecast for Blustery Winds, Smoggy Hazes The outer planets beyond Mars do not have solid surfaces to affect weather as on Earth. And, sunlight is…
Research reveals a new explanation for how the icy shell of Jupiter’s moon Europa rotates at a different rate than its interior. NASA’s Europa Clipper…
Study Narrows James Webb Space Telescope Targets With the first paper compiling all known information about planets like Venus beyond our solar system, scientists are…
Mars displays fascinating geology everywhere you look – and nowhere is this more true than in the fractured, wrinkled ground seen in this image from…
These in-between regions could be prime sites for liquid water. In a new study, University of California, Irvine (UCI) astronomers describe how extraterrestrial life has…
In a first, scientists have seen direct evidence of active volcanism on Earth’s twin, setting the stage for the agency’s VERITAS mission to investigate. Direct…
Experiment demonstrates our solar system’s fragility. A terrestrial planet hovering between Mars and Jupiter would be able to push Earth out of the solar system…
The veteran Martian rover captured a dazzling sunset at the start of a new cloud-imaging campaign. Although Martian sunsets are uniquely moody, NASA’s Curiosity rover…
Inspired by the Renaissance vision of Leonardo da Vinci, NASA is presently preparing its scientific return to Venus’ atmosphere and surface with a mission known…
Astronomers have long been aware that planetary systems are not necessarily structured like our solar system. Researchers from the Universities of Bern and Geneva, as…
The research uses archival NASA data to show that Venus may be losing heat from geologic activity in regions called coronae, possibly like early tectonic…
Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea in Hawaiʻi have discovered that aurorae at visible wavelengths appear on all 4 major moons of Jupiter:…
Are there rivers and lakes on other worlds? The answer, surprisingly, is yes! Titan, which is the largest moon of Saturn, has lakes and rivers…
