NASA hasn't given up on finding its MAVEN spacecraft after losing contact in December, with teams working around the clock to locate the 12-year-old Mars orbiter. The spacecraft spent over a decade studying how Mars lost its atmosphere and helped relay communications for rovers on the planet's surface.
Scientists using NASA's MAVEN spacecraft spotted something never seen before at Mars: an atmospheric phenomenon that was thought to only exist around Earth. This discovery opens new doors to understanding how space weather shapes the Red Planet.
Scientists using NASA's MAVEN spacecraft stumbled upon something never seen before: a physics phenomenon squeezing Mars' atmosphere like toothpaste from a tube. This discovery opens a whole new window into how space weather affects the Red Planet.
NASA's MAVEN spacecraft just detected a protective magnetic phenomenon on Mars that scientists thought only existed on Earth. The discovery could help protect future astronauts exploring the Red Planet.
Scientists discovered the Zwan-Wolf effect happening in Mars' atmosphere for the first time, revealing how the Red Planet's thin air gets squeezed during solar storms. This breakthrough helps explain how Mars transformed from a wet world to today's cold desert.
Scientists analyzing data from NASA's silent MAVEN spacecraft just discovered a rare space weather phenomenon in Mars' thin atmosphere that was thought to only exist around strongly magnetized planets like Earth. The finding could transform how we understand planets without protective magnetic shields.
NASA's MAVEN spacecraft detected a never-before-seen phenomenon inside Mars's atmosphere that could explain how the Red Planet lost its air. The Zwan-Wolf effect was caught squeezing Mars's atmosphere during a powerful solar storm in December 2023.
Scientists discovered an atmospheric effect on Mars that was thought impossible on planets without Earth's protective magnetic field. The breakthrough could reveal how space weather shapes alien worlds.
A Marine colonel transformed how the military buys software, launching a successful AI program that still thrives today. His innovative approach to cutting through bureaucracy cost him his career, but changed the Pentagon forever.
At just 19 years old, Konnor Griffin could become the first teenage position player to start Opening Day since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1989. The Pirates' top prospect dominated three minor league levels last year and is now competing for a major league roster spot.
NASA scientists discovered an "impossible" phenomenon squeezing Mars' atmosphere during a 2023 solar storm. The find could protect future astronauts and missions to the Red Planet.
Scientists just confirmed lightning exists on another planet in our solar system. Two NASA spacecraft spotted different types of electrical sparks crackling through Martian dust storms.
An interstellar visitor is leaving our solar system forever, but NASA's free public data will keep unlocking discoveries for decades. Over a dozen spacecraft captured comet 3I/ATLAS, creating a treasure trove anyone can explore.
NASA is joining forces with private space company Relativity Space to launch a new Mars monitoring probe in 2028. The partnership shows how collaboration between government and commercial space companies is accelerating our understanding of the Red Planet.
Scientists discovered the first direct evidence of lightning on Mars hiding in decade-old spacecraft data. The rare detection offers a breakthrough in understanding the Red Planet's mysterious atmosphere.
A groundbreaking study finds that becoming a dad is actually protective against early death, even as researchers call for better support for new fathers. The discovery offers a surprising silver lining while highlighting opportunities to help young families thrive.
Over 700,000 tech workers are demanding their companies reject Pentagon pressure to develop fully autonomous weapons systems. While some AI firms cave to government demands, employee coalitions are taking a stand for ethical technology development.
A 19-year-old founder in Nairobi created an AI language model trained on Kenyan dialects, solving a problem global tech giants have ignored. His voice agent is already helping a local credit union serve members in their own languages.
NASA just announced a groundbreaking partnership with Relativity Space to send advanced atmospheric instruments to Mars by 2028. This collaboration will help scientists gather the data needed to safely land humans on the Red Planet.
A visitor from beyond our solar system is leaving behind a treasure trove of scientific data that anyone can access for free. NASA tracked interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with more than a dozen missions, and every observation is now publicly available to power tomorrow's discoveries.
