Happy New Year, Mars! The Red Planet begins another circuit around the sun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Those of us still humming on back-to-school energy can add some Red Planet flavor: We just marked the beginning of a new year on Mars. The Martian new year officially clicked over today (Sept. 30) at 4:16 a.m. EDT (0816 GMT), when the Red Planet once again began its nearly 687-Earth-day journey around the sun. But if you're a Martian, you wouldn't use Earth days. A Mars day, or "sol," lasts 24 hours and 39 minutes — the time it takes the Red Planet to rotate once. There are 668 sols in a Martian
Astronomers just named an asteroid after 'Weird Al' Yankovic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It may not be a slime creature from outer space, but you can finally find "Weird Al" Yankovic's name flying beyond our planet. The American musician and comedian's name was recently approved for an asteroid, or space rock, that zooms around our solar system about once every four years. The asteroid is formally known as (14331) Alyankovic, or 1981 EC26. 1981 refers to the year of the asteroid's discovery, and Yankovic's name for it was approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the o
Microscopic alien technology may be hidden in moon dust, scientists say (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Could we find alien technology embedded in moon dust? The bold idea, not yet peer-reviewed, suggests checking out the lunar surface for "microscopic technosignatures." The SETI Institute — or the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute — describes these technosignatures as "tiny engineered particles" that may have come from interstellar space before settling on the moon. The institut
What comes after the moon? Artemis II commander and pilot shift to 'emeritus' status at NASA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three of NASA's Artemis II astronauts are starting off the school year with new assignments. Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman and pilot Victor Glover, both NASA astronauts, will transition into "emeritus status" in September, the space agency announced on Wednesday (Sept. 9). Meanwhile, Canadian mission specialist Jeremy Hansen shared a video on X on Tuesday (Sept. 8) concerning his already-announced transfer from active duty to reserve status in the Canadian military. The fourth Artemis II ast
NASA expands Deep Space Network with giant new dish in California desert (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NASA's long-distance spacecraft-calling network just got a boost. The Deep Space Network (DSN), best known for communicating with distant spacecraft such as Voyager 1, Voyager 2 and New Horizons, added a 114-foot (34-meter) radio-frequency antenna in California, boosting capacity on the increasingly crowded network. More than 40 spacecraft exploring the solar system and interstellar space use DSN, which has struggled to keep pace with growing demand. Communications with the uncrewed Artemis 1 mi
