NASA, Russia stress that space partnership remains strong after Nauka incident at space station

Ground teams from NASA and Russia's space agency Roscosmos back on Earth, as well as the seven astronauts on the station, worked to quickly remedy the situation, using countermeasures and opposing thrusters from other parts of the station to push the ...

NASA's 1st attempt to collect Mars samples with Perseverance rover comes up empty

Data received from Perseverance indicate that the drill, which has a hollow coring bit, worked as intended, and that processing of the sample tube appeared to be normal as well, NASA officials said.

Giant ancient lake in Gale Crater on Mars? New study offers different view.

Mars' Gale Crater may not have been so wet after all, a new study suggests. NASA's Curiosity rover touched down inside the 96-mile-wide (154 kilometers) Gale in August 2012, on a mission to assess the area's past life-supporting potential. At a spot near its ...

(CNN) Attempting firsts on Mars is hard, even if you're an incredibly capable and advanced robot like the Perseverance rover. The rover attempted to make history on Friday and collect its ...

A crucial ocean circulation is showing signs of instability. Its shutdown would have serious impacts on our weather.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) -- which the Gulf Stream is a major part of -- helps maintain the energy balance in the Atlantic Ocean. It is often described as a "conveyor belt" that takes warm surface water from the tropics and distributes it ...

Perseverance rover drills into Mars for 1st time in milestone for sample collection

The drill hole marks just one step of a sampling process that will take about 11 days all told, according to previous NASA statements, which should mean that if all goes well, the full procedure will wrap up just in time for the rover to celebrate six months since it ...

Observatory in Chile takes highest-resolution measurements of asteroid surface temperatures ever obtained from earth

A close examination of the millimeter-wavelength emissions from the asteroid Psyche, which NASA intends to visit in 2026, has produced the first temperature map of the object, providing new insight into its surface properties. The findings, described in a ...

NASA's Juno celebrates 10 years with new infrared view of moon Ganymede

These observations by the spacecraft's Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument, which "sees" in infrared light not visible to the human eye, provide new information on Ganymede's icy shell and the composition of the ocean of liquid water beneath.
