Scientists at NASA are pushing for a flagship mission to Venus, which is the agency’s most expensive class of space expeditions. For the scientists, deploying this kind of mission to Venus is vital in order to investigate if the planet really was habitable in the past.
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) recently reported that the latter’s experimental spacecraft got hit by micro space dust several times while it was orbiting Earth.
NASA has developed an aquatic rover designed to explore the oceans of alien worlds. To test its capabilities, the agency will head to Antarctica with the rover later this month.
A research team from NASA has confirmed that water vapor exists on the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa. The latest finding supports the idea that the large planet’s satellite could hold traces of alien life.
Massive alien structures were supposedly seen on the surface of Jupiter moon, Io.
An official from NASA confirmed that the meteor that lit up a major U.S. city earlier this week came from the asteroid belt. According to the official, the meteor that turned into a bright fireball in the sky weighed about a hundred kilograms.
The Juno spacecraft launched by NASA had just completed its latest flyby on Jupiter. As it flew over the planet, it was able to capture a stunning photo of a cream-like vortex swirling within the planet’s atmosphere.
An expert warned that Earth would have little time to react if a space rock from the asteroid belt gets dislodged from its orbit and heads toward Earth. If the asteroid is big enough, it could cause an impact event that could trigger mass extinctions on the planet.
NASA scientists are optimistic that the agency’s upcoming mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa could find traces of alien life. This could be the result of the mission’s experiment that involves analyzing samples from the moon’s atmosphere.
NASA has received the green light to proceed with the necessary preparations for the launch of a new space mission in 2021. Dubbed as Lucy, the upcoming mission will focus on studying and visiting the asteroids near Jupiter.
Saturn has just unseated Jupiter after it was discovered that the planet has 20 new moons. This made Saturn the solar system's new "Moon King."
A team of astronomers has discovered 20 new moons orbiting Saturn. Through the latest discovery, Saturn has now overtaken Jupiter as the planet with the most number of moons in the Solar System.
The Juno spacecraft NASA launched to explore Jupiter recently completed a special maneuver so it can avoid the giant planet’s shadow. If the spacecraft ended up passing through Jupiter’s shadow, it would have most likely died.
NASA is preparing a couple of missions to visit and study Centaurs, which are hybrid space rocks that have characteristics of both asteroids and comets. Scientists working with the agency believe studying these unique cosmic objects would provide a deeper understanding of the Solar System’s formation and evolution.
A mysterious black hole has appeared on the surface of planet Jupiter.
A new study conducted by an astronomer revealed that Jupiter could be harboring dangerous asteroids that could hit Earth. If the orbits of these asteroids change, they could end up on a collision course with the planet.
Researchers have come across a strange alien planet that they believe should not exist. According to their study, the existence of the planet goes against current theories and models about planetary formation.
Astronomers have finally uncovered details of the mysterious space rock that hit Jupiter in August. According to the astronomers, the planet was hit by an asteroid that detonated mid-air.
Astronomers are expecting to witness the eruption of the largest and most powerful volcano on Jupiter’s moon this month. According to the astronomers, the volcano known as Loki has been erupting annually and follows a regular schedule.
A UFO expert claimed to have spotted a massive alien base capable of housing an entire fleet on Jupiter’s moon Europa. The expert came across the image of the alien base after going through a NASA photo.
California astronomers have discover the HR 5183 exoplanet, which uniquely slingshots around its star.
NASA has confirmed that it will push through with a mission to visit Jupiter’s smallest moon known as Europa. The space agency selected Europa due to its high potential when it comes to hosting alien life.
