After a closer look at our distant friend Pluto, new research shows that the planet has tropic and arctic regions and an atmosphere that fluctuates over time, which may allow lakes and rivers of liquid nitrogen to form at the surface. With the New Horizons spacecraft sending back less than half of the data it collected from the pass it took near Pluto around eight months ago, new findings, like that of the liquid on the icy planet’s surface, are...

NASA launched it's Cygnus Rocket late Tuesday Night, with a record breaking load of supplies for the International Space Station. ...

Scientists may have finally come up with an explanation for Ceres's bright spots. ...

Rima Ariadaeus photographed from Apollo 10. The crater south of the channel is known as Silberschlag. (NASA) Beneath the moon’s surface, empty tubes once filled with lava during an age when the moon actively shot fire into space have been found, scientists suggest. Teams have searched to obtain more information on these buried tubes, which are thought to be large and sturdy enough to hold entire cities, according to a Purdue University study. “Humans have been living in caves since...

Scientists knew comet BA14 would make a relatively close pass by Earth last week, but the space rock did have a surprise: it was seven times larger than they expected. The comet passed by Earth on March 22, only days after fellow comet 252P/LINEAR. Initially, BA14 was thought to be about half the size of 252P/LINEAR, which measured approximately 820 feet wide. However, after days of observing this hurtling chunk of space rock, NASA’s Goldstone Solar System Radar in California’s...

Data from the Cassini spacecraft shows fog at the south pole of Titan. (Mike Brown/Caltech) One of our solar system's largest moons has fog on its surface, a team of scientists has found. The big discovery was made on Saturn's moon Titan, according to Discovery News. It's been known since 2009 that the moon had fog and high humidity aloft, which meant there was rain. But this new discovery came when the researchers looked deeper at data found at the...

Recently captured ALMA images show the planet-forming disk around the young, Sun-like star TW Hydrae. The photo above reveals the classic rings and gaps that signify planets are forming in this system. Recently released images from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) reveal never-before-seen details of what astronomers believe may be a “baby Earth” or an even more massive “super-Earth” forming. The images show the planet-forming disk around TW Hydrae, a sunlike star close to Earth. The planet is about...

At NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, this cool video was made showing engineers lifting the Webb Telescope's instruments and their support structure out of the Space Environment Simulator after completing its last cryogenic test. ...
