When China’s Chang’e 6 lunar rover returned the first-ever samples from the Moon’s farside, scientists were eager for a rare glimpse into the hidden hemisphere’s interior. Now those hopes have paid off in an unexpected way. In findings recently published in Nature Geoscience, an international research team reports that the far side’s mantle cooled at more than 200 °F (~100 …

WASHINGTON — The moon is sometimes called “two-faced” because the surface of its side perpetually facing away from Earth looks so different than its side always facing our planet. And the differences run deeper than that, as shown by an analysis of rock and soil retrieved in 2024 by China’s Chang’e-6 robotic lunar spacecraft. Scientists said the chemical makeup of …

A potentially huge discovery by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover will likely remain in scientific limbo for years to come. On Wednesday (Sept. 10), the Perseverance team announced it found possible biosignatures in pieces of a Mars rock called “Cheyava Falls” that the rover first studied last year. Those intriguing chemical fingerprints include the iron-containing minerals vivianite and greigite, which Perseverance …

The ambitious mission to retrieve samples from asteroid Bennu and return them to Earth is paying off. Just as scientists had hoped, the asteroid is revealing details about the early days in our Solar System. More than just a simple space rock, Bennu contains not only material from the Solar System, but material from beyond our system. Bennu follows an …

It sounds like something out of science fiction: In the late 1950s, the US Army carved a tiny “city” into the Greenland ice sheet, 800 miles from the North Pole. It had living facilities, and scientific labs, and working showers, all powered by one small nuclear reactor. The research base was called “Camp Century,” a Cold War scientific project that …
