Sarah Port at NASA's Glenn Research Center conducted tests in extreme environments Venus is sometimes called Earth’s twin. It is the closest to Earth, and the two planets are similar in size and composition, yet they evolved along dramatically different…
Hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas was seen during Mars’ cold aphelion season, when none was expected; the detection is best explained by ongoing igneous processes in the Martian interior. A stunning view of Mars from the north pole to the equator.
New analysis of James Webb Space Telescope observations points to a reflective cloudy sky on TOI-561 b A rocky lava planet once thought to be too extreme to have an atmosphere appears to be wrapped in one with a reflective…
WASHINGTON, Nov 4 (Reuters) – An orbiting atmospheric research spacecraft has detected the pungent gas hydrogen chloride above surface fissures along a massive ancient volcano on Mars in a finding that suggests Earth’s planetary neighbor is still volcanically active. In a discovery…

A meteorite found in 2022 in the Sahara in Mali formed in the Martian crust at least 4.1 billion years ago, according to scientists. This makes reddish igneous rock perhaps the oldest of the 435 meteorites from Mars known on Earth. The researchers…
Four NASA volunteers just emerged from a simulated Mars habitat after 378 days of isolation, equipment failures, and experiments. According to Reuters, crew members Ross Elder, Ellen Ellis, Matthew Montgomery, and James Spicer voluntarily locked themselves inside the 3D-printed sandbox at…

Researchers at Syracuse University are working with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on a composite made primarily from simulated lunar soil. The goal is to turn regolith, the loose material covering the Moon, into something that could eventually support habitats…
NASA is moving to build a lunar base and put astronauts back on the Moon on a compressed schedule, and AP News reports that Administrator Jared Isaacman wants the agency to copy the urgency of the Apollo years. The first…
