In a major stride toward the future of private spaceflight, Blue Origin has conducted a powerful engine test for its ...

A retro-futuristic space truck. A nimble crustacean on wheels. A space-age dune buggy. One will win a multibillion-dollar prize to deploy on a future NASA Artemis mission. But first, we took a ride on ...

As dawn broke over the Martian landscape, NASA’s Perseverance rover captured an intriguing image of something drifting in the ...

Red dust, stray metal and a flicker of nostalgia have set social media alight, leaving engineers restless and fans curious. Today, images beamed back by ...

For adventurers who’ve checked off Earth’s extremes, a new frontier offers an opportunity to be part of history.

That’s the compelling argument made by Caleb Scharf—author and senior scientist for astrobiology at NASA Ames Research in ...

Scientists simulated the conditions of Mars in a lab to observe how blocks of carbon dioxide "dug" their way through the ...

NASA has discovered Saturn's moon Titan can mix molecules in ways previously thought impossible, shedding light on origins-of ...

Mars dune with gullies in the Matara crater. The erratic course is probably due to disturbances such as wind ridges in the sand bed, sending the blocks in a different direction each time. Pits at the ...

Scientists suggest that dry ice on Mars may move and burrow beneath the surface, creating patterns similar to sandworms from Dune and shedding light on the planet’s changing landscape.

CO₂ ice blocks on Mars may dig gullies as they slide and sublimate in the thin atmosphere. In lab experiments, scientists ...

The research described in this paper gives proof of the assumption, previously made by other researchers, that blocks of CO2 ice can play a role in the creation of dune gullies on Martian dunes.
