We're past just sending people to the moon. It's time to start building things there.
Mars' geology isn't quite as funky as Earth's -- but it's not all that plain either.
Mars is turning out to be a more interesting place than we thought.
For centuries astronomers have been curious about this moon of Saturn, and thanks to new telescopes like James Webb, we're starting to uncover some of the mysteries of this moon.
He won't be going to space just yet, though.
The JWST is becoming an exoplanet researcher's dream.
The space rock could reveal how the solar system formed.
It may have been on Mars, and not on Earth, where life first appeared in the solar system.
This is the first practical step towards bringing NASA astronauts back to the Moon after more than 50 years of absence.
If microbes can do this, we should be particularly worried with our own impact on the climate.
A lot is riding on this 55-pound machine.
We still have a lot to learn about how celestial bodies form.
It may be a desert now, but at some point in its history, Mars was flooded with water.
At what point does research cross from astrophysics into archeology?
The universe is filled with remarkable objects. Researchers have just found another.
Quite fitting to be studying a moon named 'Fear' for Halloween.
A long time ago, Mars may have been like the Earth is today.
Among the surprises were magma and surface waves.
These cyberpunk contact lenses will ultimately help make spaceflight safer for astronauts.
This is important both for our search for life, and for potential contamination of the Red Planet.
Huge spikes of radiation seem to occur every thousand years or so -- but no one really knows what they are.
Although we've looked at this corner of the universe before, we've never seen it so clearly.
The catalog was thought to be lost -- but was now rediscovered.
I see your GOAT and raise you a BOAT.
The "burp" is traveling at half the speed of light.
Barium is 2.5 times the weight of iron.
We now have confirmation that NASA can deflect a threatening near-Earth asteroid. But this is just one experiment.
Hydrogen-hungry microbes may have saturated the Martian atmosphere with methane, triggering a terrible ice age.
A recent high school graduate is responsible for the development of the new 3D model.
It's a surprising roadblock in our quest to explore space.

The southern pole really could hold water.
New simulations show that planets around young, massive stars may have been captured or stolen rather than homegrown.
It finally happened: NASA crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid to practice for a time when we need to save Earth from cosmic destruction.
A hot bubble was found orbiting the Milky Way's black hole.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been having a field day with the solar system recently. After imaging Jupiter, showcasing its auroras and hazes, and Mars’ crater-riddled surface, NASA has now directed the powerful space telescope towards Neptune, the farthest-reaching planet of the solar system. Webb didn’t disappoint one bit, delivering the clearest view […]
Thanks, InSight!
The powerful space telescope used its potent infrared instruments to reveal unseen features from both Mars' surface and atmosphere.
This isn't proof that Mars used to harbor life, but it does help support that hypothesis.
A collision with a former moon could explain Saturn's most iconic features.
Tidying up in space will take some impressive research.
