New Study Finds Earth And Mars May Have Formed From Similar Material
Earth's Composition Closely Matches Mars, Suggests New Study On Planet's Origins

NASA Shares Stunning Image Of Earth And Moon Captured From Mars Orbit
NASA further said that the phase angle of the image is 98 degrees, meaning that less than half of both Earth and the Moon are directly illuminated.

NASA Astronauts Reach Safe Orbit In Historic Moon Mission
The crew will spend roughly four days traveling to the lunar vicinity, where they will swing behind the moon's far side.

Why Is NASA Spending $100 Billion To Return To Moon? Depends On Who You Ask
NASA is heading back with its Artemis programme. As early as April 1, the agency will send a crew of four around the moon as a precursor for a landing this decade.

NASA’s ESCAPADE Mission to Study Space Weather Between Earth and Mars
NASA’s ESCAPADE mission will send two identical orbiters to Mars to study how solar wind and space weather strip away the planet’s atmosphere. Launching in 2025 and arriving in 2027, the twin spacecraft will measure solar wind conditions and Mars’s atmospheric response simultaneously, helping scientists understand how the Red Planet lost its ...

Green Comet C/2024 E1 Brightens Near Mars as Scientists Forecast a Permanent Exit From the Solar System
Astronomers are closely tracking the bright green comet C/2024 E1 as it approaches Earth and prepares for a future escape from the solar system. Originating from the distant Oort Cloud, the city-sized comet is on a hyperbolic path and is expected to be permanently ejected after its close solar encounter, similar to the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS.

Astronomers Find Planet Close To Solar System With Earth-Like Size And Orbit
Researchers estimate that the planet has about a 50% chance of being in its star's Hoble zone.

Scientists Discover 'Potentially Habitable' Earth-Like Planet Candidate
If confirmed, this exoplanet would be the only known rocky world in the habitable zone of a Sun-like star.

Study Reveals Mars Has A Much Stronger Influence On Earth's Climate
Previous research on deep-sea sediments had suggested that Mars might influence Earth's climate, but the magnitude of this influence had not been clearly established.
-
The Next Space Frontier May Be Just 100 km Above Earth, Not the Moon or Mars
As low Earth orbit becomes crowded, very low Earth orbit satellites are emerging as a promising alternative. Operating closer to Earth, they offer faster communication, sharper imaging, and better weather data. Advances in propulsion are helping overcome atmospheric drag, opening the door to wider use of this challenging but valuable orbital region...

New Study Challenges Long-Held Beliefs About Mars' Red Colour
The study revealed that another mineral, ferrihydrite, a water-rich ferric oxyhydroxide, is widely present in Martian dust and is likely also found in the rocky layers beneath the surface.

Clocks on Mars Run Faster Than on Earth, New Study Finds
New research shows time on Mars runs faster than on Earth by 477 microseconds per day. The variation poses challenges for astronauts, navigation, and creating interplanetary communication networks. Scientists say understanding Martian time differences is key for future missions and testing Einstein’s relativity.

Scientists Find Clock on Mars Runs 477 Microseconds Faster Than Earth
A new study by NIST physicists shows that clocks on Mars run about 477 microseconds faster per day than identical clocks on Earth. The difference comes from Mars’s weaker gravity, orbital eccentricity, and gravitational influences across the solar system. Though tiny, this daily time lead will pose challenges for future Mars navigation and commun...
