Europe’s JUICE Jupiter Probe Successfully Completes Historic Lunar Flyby
Europe's JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) spacecraft achieved a significant milestone on August 19, 2024, by performing a historic gravity assist flyby of the Moon. This manoeuvre brought JUICE within approximately 465 miles (750 kilometres) of the lunar surface. The spacecraft captured images during this encounter using its onboard cameras, desi...

Deep-Sea Life On Earth Gives Us A Clue To What Aliens Would Be Like
As the spacecraft Cassini flew past Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, the orbiter detected molecular hydrogen, a finding announced Thursday. It's a nifty discovery, hinting that heated vents beneath Enceladus's oceans may have the right conditions for life. We didn't find any actual evidence of extraterrestrial organisms, though, despite NASA's cryptic ...
