On its long journey to the outer solar system, NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft made a planned detour — and seized a striking photo opportunity.  In a single frame, the uncrewed Europa Clipper caught Mars alongside both of its tiny moons, Phobos and Deimos, as they waltzed through space, all glowing in infrared light.  The image, presented below, is more than …

Defense tech company AeroVironment and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have shown off a wild concept for deploying six helicopters above the surface of Mars to scout for water and possible human landing sites. The concept, dubbed “Skyfall,” builds on NASA’s extremely successful and revolutionary Ingenuity Mars helicopter, which became the first manmade object to achieve powered flight on another planet …

On July 25, 2025, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured a rare solar eclipse from its vantage point in space. This unique phenomenon, visible only from the SDO’s position, revealed around 62% of the sun covered by the moon. The event, which lasted approximately 35 minutes, was a stunning display that provided scientists with valuable insights into solar behavior. This …

NASA has discovered a massive gold deposit on asteroid 16 Psyche, a metallic-rich body located in the asteroid belt. This asteroid is estimated to contain $700 quintillion worth of metals, including gold, iron, and nickel, reports The Pulse. With such a colossal value, this discovery has the potential to transform humanity’s understanding of resource wealth in the cosmos, though the …

The signing ceremony took place on July 24, 2025, at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C., marking a watershed moment for the West African country as it strengthens its commitment to science, technology, and space diplomacy. The signing event at the U.S’s capital city brought together important figures from Senegal and NASA, including Abdoul Wahab Haidara, Senegal’s ambassador to the United …

For years, NASA has monitored a strange anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest Africa. This vast, developing phenomenon, called the South Atlantic Anomaly, has intrigued and concerned scientists for years, and perhaps none more so than NASA researchers. The space agency’s …

Recent NASA budget uncertainties could make one space agency endeavor up for grabs — defending Earth from incoming space rocks. That effort, undertaken by NASA for many years, could be given to the U.S. Space Force, which has a much bigger new budget. On the other hand, is a Space Force takeover of taking out potentially dangerous asteroids warranted, and …

IN A NUTSHELL 🔍 NASA scientists have detected mysterious radio signals from beneath the Antarctic ice, challenging established physics. 🎈 The discovery originated from the ANITA project, which used balloons with radio antennas to study cosmic particles. 🌌 These signals defy conventional theories, raising the possibility of unknown particles or forces. 🔬 Future experiments, including PUEO, aim to provide more …
