Mars' North Pole Ice Is Far Cleaner Than Expected (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The planet Mars is known for its massive dust storms, dust devils, and two large polar ice caps, with its north polar cap being one of the Red Planet’s most striking features. Comprised of water ice, the north polar cap not only holds potential for being a source of water for future human missions, but it also helps researchers’ piece together past climates on Mars. But an ongoing debate within the scientific community is the ice-dust relationship at the north polar cap, specifically how much du
First Direct Image of Protoplanet Swirling Surrounding Gas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The formation and evolution of planets is the driving force behind both where and how we might find life beyond Earth. This complex and lengthy process first begins with a massive ball of gas and dust that swirls until it flattens into a disk, followed by rocks ranging in size from pebbles to kilometer-scale objects clumping together in a process known as accretion, as they too swirl around within the larger disk and form rocky planets closer to the star and the farther out planets collect the g
Coldest Lava Exoplanet Found to Hold an Atmosphere (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Exoplanets continue to challenge our understanding of planetary formation, evolution, and whether they might be able to support life as we know it. Scientists often use planets in our solar system as analogs for exoplanets, studying exoplanets with extremely short orbital periods forces scientists to constantly rethink our understanding of what planets can withstand during their lifetimes. One such type of exoplanet that has entered the foray in recent years are “lava world” exoplanets, and espe
Catch a Rare Lunar Occultation Jupiter Plus Saturn at Opposition in Early October (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first week of October kicks off with two don’t miss skywatching events. It’s a busy skywatching month ahead. The first full week of October sees two top-notch skywatching events, with Saturn reaching opposition, and the Moon occulting Jupiter for North America on October 6th. This month’s occultation of Jupiter by the Moon is one of the best-placed and top skywatching events for 2026. The event transpires in the early morning hours of Tuesday, October 6th, centered on 10:16 Universal Time/6:
