The gas giant orbiter has flown over 510 million miles and also documented close encounters with three of Jupiter’s four largest moons. NASA’s Juno spacecraft…
In the summer of 2003 two rovers began their journeys to Mars at a time when the Red Planet and Mars were the nearest they…
Scientists used ground-based telescopes to get unprecedented views, thanks to the giant planet’s position in its long orbit around the Sun. For the first time,…
The six-wheeled scientist encountered the crater during its latest science campaign in search of rock samples that could be brought to Earth for deeper investigation….
One of six instruments aboard the agency’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, CRISM produced global maps of minerals on the Red Planet’s surface. After 17 years of…
The mission is gathering observations with airborne sensors, a research ship, and autonomous instruments like gliders that skim the upper layers of the Pacific Ocean….
The plan will keep Voyager 2’s science instruments turned on a few years longer than previously anticipated, enabling yet more revelations from interstellar space. Launched…
Kelvin waves, a potential precursor of El Niño conditions in the ocean, are rolling across the equatorial Pacific toward the coast of South America. Sentinel-6…
Evidence left in rocks is leading scientists to rethink what watery environments looked like on ancient Mars. New images from NASA’s Perseverance rover reveal evidence…
