In 2000, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft mapped Jupiter's moon Io’s volcanoes at temperatures above 1,000°C. 26 years later, the data still reveal one of the solar system’s strangest volcanic worldsGalileo spacecraft data revealed Io's extraordinary volcanic landscape and intense heat. Pele volcano showed temperatures reaching 1,500 de...
China delays Chang’e-7 launch: Why the Moon mission was halted just hours before liftoffChina's Chang'e-7 lunar mission launch was abruptly postponed just before liftoff. Officials cited prudence, reliability, and safety as rea...
In 2009, NASA deliberately crashed LCROSS into a permanently shadowed lunar crater; the mission detected water in the resulting debris plumeNASA's groundbreaking LCROSS mission in 2009 confirmed the presence of water ice at the Moon's south pole, transforming our understanding o...
Why NASA's latest moon discovery creates a major dilemma for Artemis astronautsMicrobes from Earth can survive on the Moon's surface for days. New research shows shadowed lunar craters offer protective microclimates fo...
In 2015, NASA's New Horizons flew past Pluto and captured detailed images of its frozen surface. More than a decade later, scientists revisited the images and found evidence that liquid nitrogen may have once flowed across the dwarf planetScientists found evidence of liquid nitrogen flow beneath Pluto's Sputnik Planitia. This flow may have occurred after rising through cracks...
