‘I’m just blown away’: The Webb Telescope is just getting started
So far it’s been eye candy from heaven: The black vastness of space teeming with enigmatic, unfathomably distant blobs of light. Ghostly portraits of Neptune, Jupiter and other neighbours we thought we knew. Nebulas and galaxies made visible by the penetrating infrared eyes of the James Webb Space Telescope.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Gives New Insights on Jezero Crater
In its quest for signs of ancient microbial life on Mars, the NASA's Perseverance Rover has unearthed several fascinating pieces of information about the Red Planet. It landed on the Jezero crater in 2020 and has been since exploring the region. In its latest discovery, the rover has found that the floor of the crater, which once hosted a lake billion years ago, is made up of volcanic rocks rather than sedimentary rocks, as believed earlier.

‘My power’s really low’: Nasa’s Insight Mars lander prepares to sign off from the Red Planet
Nasa’s InSight lander has delivered what could be its final message from Mars, where it has been on a history-making mission to reveal the secrets of the Red Planet’s interior. In November the space agency warned the lander’s time may becoming to an end as dust continued to thicken and choke out the InSight’s power.

NASA's Perseverance rover captures first-ever sound of dust devil on Mars: "Definitely luck"
What's a dust devil sound like on Mars? A NASA rover by chance had its microphone on when a whirling tower of red dust passed directly overhead, recording the racket. It's about 10 seconds of not only rumbling gusts of up to 25 mph, but the pinging of hundreds of dust particles against the rover Perseverance. Scientists released the first-of-its-kind audio Tuesday.

NASA Webb Telescope Unveils Soul-Haunting New 'Pillars of Creation' View
Few things encapsulate the wonders of space like the epic Pillars of Creation, a set of gorgeous finger-like tendrils of gas and dust where stars are formed. On Wednesday, NASA and the European Space Agency revealed another fresh look at the pillars from the sharp eyes of the James Webb Space Telescope.

Why Voyager 1 is entitled to a software update 45 years later?
45 years after its launch, the Voyager 1 probe is still partially functional. But transmission problems noted last May prompted NASA to develop what will probably be its ultimate software update.

'Historic' Mars Experiment Produces Oxygen at the Rate of 1 Earth Tree
When NASA's robotic Perseverance rover blasted off to Mars last year, it brought with it a small, golden box called MOXIE, for the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment. Since then, MOXIE has been making oxygen out of thin Martian air.

You can even buy a holiday home in the first hotel in space
Space tourism is no longer the stuff of science fiction — it’s just around the corner. Aside from private missions to space, like Inspiration4 and DearMoon, in which members of the general public will spend a few days in a SpaceX vehicle circling the Earth and moon, respectively, there are also a few space hotels...

Voyager, NASA's longest-lived mission, logs 45 years in space
NASA's twin Voyager probes have become, in some ways, time capsules of their era: They each carry an eight-track tape player for recording data, they have about 3 million times less memory than modern cellphones, and they transmit data about 38,000 times slower than a 5G internet connection. Yet the Voyagers remain on the cutting edge of space exploration.

You've seen some spectacular James Webb telescope images — but you haven't seen this one
The adolescent phase of the universe was much more complex than imagined, detailed snapshots of the early cosmos from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal. "There are many more galaxies with obvious disks, bulges, spiral arms … appearing earlier in cosmic time than we thought," Karl Glazebrook says.

What a decade of Curiosity has taught us about life on Mars
Ten years ago, engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab celebrated the successful landing of its fourth robot on Mars, The Curiosity rover. Now old enough to enter the fifth grade, the Curiosity rover was set on its mission in 2012 to determine whether the red planet could have ever supported life.

Curiosity celebrates 10 years on Mars
Mars is a world entirely populated by robots: Orbiters and landers from a half-dozen space agencies scout its wafer-thin atmosphere and stark surface to unveil a surprisingly active past. On the ground, a hardy six-wheeled rover named Curiosity observed its 10th anniversary on the Red Planet this summer. Dust-streaked and running on punctured wheels, it continues to explore a desiccated landscape of wind-chiseled mesas, isolated buttes, and swirling sands for relics of a warmer, wetter, perhaps habitable Mars.

James Webb Space Telescope beats its own record with potential most distant galaxies
Astronomers are now discovering record-breaking distant galaxies by the dozen while sifting through the treasure trove of data now being collected by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb). Among them are several galaxies dating back to just over 200 million years after the Big Bang.
