  New studies have helped identify what the Moon’s South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin has to offer – a massive impact structure on the Moon’s far side. Regions near SPA are also potential landing sites for NASA’s Artemis missions. Rare opportunity SPA is considered one of the Moon’s oldest surviving features, providing insight into the early […]

GOLDEN, Colorado – First of all, take into account centuries of accumulated engineering knowhow, hard-learned lessons, and societal evolution.

          According to the NASA Curiosity Mars rover team, the challenge is piecing together how a vast network of boxwork could exist on Mount Sharp, the 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) mountain the rover has been ascending. “Each layer of the mountain formed in a different era of Mars’ ancient, changing climate. The higher […]

  Europa, a moon of Jupiter, has been “pinged” by powerful radar on Earth reflecting radio waves in an odd, strong, and complex way not seen on rocky worldsNASA’s Goldstone Solar System Radar and the U.S. National Science Foundation Green Bank Telescope carried out the most extensive radar study to date of the ocean world […]

An image from the European Space Agency’s Mars Express shows part of Mamers Valles, a huge valley system in Mars’s northern hemisphere. The image captures tens of small dust devils. These brief, tornado-like whirlwinds lift dust into the air and carry it across the surface of the Red Planet. Go to this site to explore […]

Last week China hurled into space a new communication technology test satellite, making use of the Wenchang Space Launch Site in south China’s Hainan Province. The June 11 liftoff of the Long March 5 booster was noted and confirmed by the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) as it routinely monitors expected debris that careens into identified […]
