What may look like a single volcanic eruption is usually the visible outcome of far more complicated activity taking place underground. Beneath the surface, magma can migrate, cool, mix, and ...

Researchers argue that the presence of long chain carbon molecules on Mars "cannot be readily explained" by non-biological processes alone.

New orbital data reveal that the most recently active volcanic systems on Mars weren’t simple one-off blasts into space.

As next-generation telescopes map this outer frontier, astronomers are bracing for discoveries that could reveal hidden planets, strange structures, and clues to the solar system’s chaotic youth.

New theoretical models have strengthened the case that immense, energy-harvesting structures orbiting their host stars could exist in principle in distant stellar systems. With the right engineering ...

Using images from cameras on Mars orbiters, an international research team has discovered structures on Mars that are very similar to classic river deltas on Earth. These are traces of rivers that ...

The Mars Perseverance rover has been investigating the Jezero Crater and came across something that is not native to Mars at all. It is a meteorite that collided with the red planet. Though various ...

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover recently came across an odd rock, dubbed "Phippsaksla," that is unlike anything else the robot has found on the Red Planet. It turns out that it probably isn't from our ...

NASA’s latest images from Mars show a rock that looks less like a random boulder and more like something deliberately carved, a sculpted shard standing alone on the dusty plain. The discovery has ...

NASA released new images of 3I/ATLAS as it plunged towards the sun, captured by a host of the agency’s robots and probes. A camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured this image of ...

During the Mars rover’s recent investigation of the planet, NASA found something that shouldn’t be there. According to the space organization, the Perseverance rover found a boulder near the rim of ...

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has made another strange discovery. While investigating the Vernodden area of Jezero Crater – the crater where the rover first landed on the Red Planet in February 2021 ...
