On July 15, 2025, NASA’s Curiosity Rover continued its investigation of Mars with a mix of scientific observations and geological analyses. As part of the Mars Science Laboratory Mission, Curiosity continues to explore the Red Planet’s surface with methods designed to unlock Mars’ secrets—one sol at a time. This blog post provides an inside look at the challenges and precision …

NASA scientists are furious. Fire Sale NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab is reportedly holding a “going out of business sale” for its satellites, NASA Watch reports. The list of for-sale assets includes several Earth-monitoring satellites that were once tasked with studying the environment, helping with hurricane prediction efforts, and measuring the effects of climate change. Most launched over the last 20 …

An international team of astronomers has uncovered new evidence to explain how pulsing remnants of exploded stars interact with surrounding matter deep in the cosmos, using observations from NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) and other telescopes.  Scientists based in the U.S., Italy, and Spain, set their sights on a mysterious cosmic duo called PSR J1023+0038, or J1023 for short. The J1023 …

Scientists predict one of the major surveys by NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope may reveal around 100,000 celestial blasts, ranging from exploding stars to feeding black holes. Roman may even find evidence of some of the universe’s first stars, which are thought to completely self-destruct without leaving any remnant behind. Cosmic explosions offer clues to some of the …

NASA has announced the selection of three innovative scientific instruments that will be vital to the Artemis mission, specifically for the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV), a key part of NASA’s lunar exploration plans. These instruments, designed to uncover more about the Moon’s surface and subsurface, will help NASA reach unprecedented goals in understanding Earth’s closest neighbor. The announcement was made …

NASA’s Opportunity rover, one of the most successful interplanetary missions in history, came to a dramatic and poignant end in 2019, after 15 years of groundbreaking exploration on Mars. The rover’s final transmission was sent amidst a planet-wide dust storm that left scientists and engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) holding onto hope until the very last moment. In …

Thanks to NASA’s steadfast commitment to blasting robots into space, we now get regular images from another planet beamed back down to Earth. The current generation of Mars rovers began their adventures – finding strange rocks and potentially getting caught up in the center of electrified dust devils, among other important planetary research – in 2012 and 2021. But before …
