NASA's planet-hunting TESS Mission keeps giving astronomers new realities to examine and explain. Case in point: astronomers using the tools of asteroseismology - the observations and measurements of a star's oscillations, or starquakes, that appear as changes in brightness - have learned more about two stars bright enough to be visible in a dark sky to the naked eye. These red-giant stars
MARS — NASA plans to send its Mars 2020 rover to search for signs of ancient life on Mars' Jezero Crater.
In a news release, the space agency pointed to a recent study published in the journal Icarus which identified mineral deposits called carbonates along the crater's inner rim.
The study...
A new study says NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite is capable of detecting the mysterious Planet Nine and may have even already spotted it, scientists just need to sift through the data.
After inhaling air in the Gale Crater over its three years on Mars (nearly 6 Earth years), NASA’s Curiosity rover has revealed a mind-boggling oxygen enigma on the Red Planet that scientists can’t..
