Recent seismic data from NASA's InSight lander could provide answers to a 50-year-old puzzle concerning Mars' unique structure. The planet is divided into the northern lowlands and southern highlands, separated…
NASA's Dawn spacecraft, which orbited the asteroid Vesta in 2012, captured images of mysterious gullies on its surface, raising questions about their origins. The asteroid, known for its craters, also…
A recent study published in Nature suggests that the Moon could be over 100 million years older than estimates based on rocks collected from its surface. The findings propose that…
A puzzling dark spot has been observed on Saturn's icy moon, Enceladus, raising questions about the moon's geological activity. The discovery, discussed during the 2024 American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting…
Mars' two moons, Phobos and Deimos, could have originated from the debris of an asteroid torn apart by the planet's gravity, according to recent simulations. Research published in Icarus suggests…
A faint electric field has been detected in Earth's atmosphere, confirming a theory that scientists have held for decades. This ambipolar electric field, though weak at just 0.55 volts, could…
A close encounter between Earth and asteroid 99942 Apophis is expected to take place in April 2029. Named after an ancient Egyptian deity associated with darkness and disorder, Apophis will…
NASA's Juno spacecraft has delivered breathtaking images of Jupiter, highlighting the planet's swirling, multicolored storms and unique moons. During Juno's 66th close flyby on October 23, the spacecraft approached the…
A recent analysis of 38-year-old data from NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft has provided fresh insights into the unique magnetosphere of Uranus, according to a study published on November 11 in…
Martian impact basins, previously assumed to be demagnetised due to an inactive planetary dynamo, may instead reflect the impact of a reversing magnetic field, a new study suggests. Led by…
