NASA is building a car-sized flying robot powered by nuclear energy to explore Saturn's moon Titan, a world with slow-motion rain, underground oceans, and the best conditions in our solar system for finding signs of life. Launching in 2028, Dragonfly will cover more ground than any rover in history.
NASA engineers just started building Dragonfly, a car-sized nuclear-powered drone that will fly across Saturn's mysterious moon Titan in search of life's chemical origins. The mission launches in 2028 and represents humanity's boldest attempt yet to explore an alien world by air.
Twenty-four Mexicans made Forbes' 2026 Billionaires List with a combined fortune of $267.3 billion, up 61% from last year. The surge reflects growing prosperity among Mexico's business elite, led by telecom titan Carlos Slim.
A cement company is transforming a former coal power plant in the UK into a facility that converts waste ash into sustainable construction materials. The move could help the building industry slash emissions while giving new life to an industrial site.
Scientists discovered the first-ever dinosaur egg within another egg, revealing that giant titanosaurs may have shared surprising reproductive traits with modern birds. The rare find in India is rewriting what we know about how dinosaurs brought new life into the world.
A scientist may have cracked one of our solar system's biggest puzzles by proposing that an ancient moon collision created Titan's massive size, Saturn's wobble, and even its famous rings. The elegant theory explains mysteries that have stumped astronomers for decades.
NASA is sending a car-sized helicopter to Saturn's moon Titan in 2028, and it will start flying before it even touches the ground. The Dragonfly mission will explore one of the most mysterious worlds in our solar system when it arrives in 2034. ---
Scientists now believe Saturn's iconic rings could have formed when two ancient moons collided 100 million years ago, creating Titan and triggering cosmic chain reactions. The discovery solves multiple mysteries about Saturn's strange tilt and its unusual moon family.
