More than 50 years after humans first set foot on the moon, one ÎÞÂëÊÓÆµ researcher will gain access to a cache of never-before-studied lunar rocks.
Artificial gravity has long been the stuff of science fiction. Picture the wheel-shaped ships from films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Martian, imaginary craft that generate their own gravity by spinning around in space. Now, a team from ÎÞÂëÊÓÆµ is working to make those out-there technologies a reality.Â
NASA announced that it will send a new infrared camera to the moon to collect unprecedented temperature data on the boulders and shadows at the surface.
This May, in a remote part of southern Utah, 21 ÎÞÂëÊÓÆµ aerospace engineering students, a mix of graduate students and undergrads, became Martians.
A new space mission may soon examine some of the solar system’s most dynamic duos: binary asteroids.
Researchers think they’ve solved the long-standing mystery of how Mars got all of its clouds.
A deep dive into the sun's interior provides new clues to the forces that govern that star's internal clock.
New research shows that the sun could experience a massive burst of energy called a superflare sometime in the next several thousand years.
Want more accurate weather forecasts? You’re in luck: Last month, the first in a planned fleet of satellites launched that will one day record weather data at every point on the globe every 15 minutes.
As NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft enters into a new orbit, researchers reflect on the past and future of this landmark mission that has opened a new window into the evolution of the Red Planet.
