Oct 28, 2020NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has confirmed, for the first time, water on the sunlit surface of the Moon. -
Oct 26, 2020Some exoplanets have a direct line of sight to observe Earth’s biological qualities from far, far away. -
Apr 6, 2020NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) will identify planets with large orbits, similar to our solar system's far-flung giants, Uranus and Neptune. -
Apr 4, 2020The Mars Helicopter is riding to the Red Planet this summer with NASA's Perseverance rover. The helicopter's chief engineer, Bob Balaram, shares the saga of how it came into being. -
Mar 25, 2020Along with capturing an image before its steepest ascent ever, the Curiosity Mars Rover robotic explorer filmed its "selfie stick," or robotic arm, in action. -
Feb 24, 2020A signal originally detected by the Kepler spacecraft has been validated as an exoplanet using the Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF). -
Feb 20, 2020NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will observe exoplanet worlds with the goal of making the first detailed near-infrared study of the atmosphere of a habitable-zone planet. -
Feb 18, 2020Scientists have discovered thousands of exoplanets. One way to search for signs of life on these worlds is to probe exoplanet atmospheres for "biosignatures" -- quirks in chemical composition that are telltale signs of life. -
Feb 13, 2020For the 30th anniversary of one of the most iconic views from the Voyager mission, NASA's JPL is publishing a new version of the image known as the "Pale Blue Dot." -
Feb 11, 2020NASA is sending a new laser-toting robot to Mars. But unlike the lasers of science fiction, this one is used for studying mineralogy and chemistry from up to about 20 feet (7 meters) away.
