Yes, even Jupiter's moons produce auroras.

Data from NASA's InSight lander suggests there's a chunky mix beneath the surface of Mars.

The interstellar visitor appears to have a lot in common with its solar system brethren.

Scientists have solved how molten "raindrops" in meteorites, called chondrules, were formed — and the discovery reveals key details about Jupiter's origin.

While observing the Halley-type comet 12P/Pons-Brooks with ALMA and NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility, researchers determined that the comet's water is strikingly similar to the water on Earth.

A new study finds that liquids other than water might be able to support life on worlds beyond Earth, potentially expanding the envelope of life throughout the cosmos.

ESA's Mars Express spacecraft has been imaging the dynamic Acheron Fossae region of Mars for more than 20 years.

Scientists have developed an algorithm called Astroclimes, which transforms stargazing instruments into climate sensors that measure greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere.

Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence for a new exoplanet — one orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the nearest sun-like star to Earth.

Meet the astonishing phenomenon of megaflash lightning.

Living in space changes the human body — but arteries seem particularly resilient to microgravity's effects.

Astronomers have long voiced concerns about Starlink's satellite constellation interfering with observations of the universe, and a new survey by Curtin University confirms those fears.

The letter warns that the proposed FY2026 budget would halt dozens of missions, gut future programs and threaten U.S. leadership in space science.

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's first images will be unveiled on Monday (June 23), and you can watch the action live.

One region of the continent saw a 22% decline in emperor penguin numbers over 15 years.

NASA's Perseverance rover regularly images a Sherlock Holmes–themed maze to calibrate its chemical-hunting SHERLOC instrument.

A new study debates the complex ethical questions that must be considered if we're to terraform Mars and lays the blueprint for a potential path forward.

A supernova remnant (SNR) discovered by astrophysicist Miroslav Filipović of Western Sydney University displays an astonishingly spherical shape.

Scientists have discovered 26 previously unknown bacterial species in the clean rooms that were used to prep NASA's Phoenix Mars lander for its 2007 launch.

"Even slight downward shifts in land can significantly compromise the structural integrity of buildings, roads, bridges, and railways over time."

A combination of X-ray from NASA's Chandra observatory and radio data indicates that a galactic "fracture" was likely caused by a special neutron star called a pulsar.

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed surface ice methanol — a key building block for organic compounds necessary for life, including sugars — on trans-Neptunian objects.

For the first time, scientists have identified climate change as the top driver of human-caused biodiversity loss among species protected under the Endangered Species Act.

On Easter Sunday (April 20), NASA's Lucy probe should have zipped past the asteroid Donaldjohanson, testing science instruments on the space rock.
