As NASA embarks on longer-duration space missions, including the goal of sending humans to Mars, the challenge of maintaining astronaut health far from Earth becomes ever more pressing. In collaboration with Google, NASA is developing a cutting-edge AI medical assistant designed to help astronauts diagnose and treat medical conditions autonomously when communication with Earth is unavailable. This initiative is part …

Earlier this year, astronomers spotted a mysterious interstellar object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, hurtling through the solar system at a blistering speed. It’s only the third confirmed interstellar object to have ventured into our solar system — all over the past few years, owing to more sophisticated space-observing technology — and scientists are eager to have a closer look. Besides detailed observations …

This photo was captured by the Mars Curiosity rover on July 24. NASA’s Curiosity rover has captured photographs of a rock on Mars that closely resembles coral found on Earth. Two objects were discovered on July 24 inside Gale Crater, both are small, pale rock shaped by wind erosion. Despite their appearance, they are not biological. In a statement, NASA …

Although humanity is getting better at sending robotic probes out into the Solar System to explore the places no human can tread, we’re still very much on a learning curve. The first extraterrestrial robotic rover was launched from Earth in 1970. It’s only now, more than half a century later, that scientists have figured out why these marvels of ingenuity …

NASA had a special Christmas gift last year. On December 24, the Parker Solar Probe reached the closest it will ever get to the Sun. As it flew just 6.1 million kilometers (3.8 million miles) from its surface, it snapped a picture of the solar wind, the stream of particles that is released from the Sun, which can travel at …
