NASA Begins Building Dragonfly Drone; Nuclear-Powered ‘Octocopter’ Enters Testing Ahead of 2028 Launch
NASA has begun construction of the Dragonfly mission, which will utilise a nuclear-powered rotorcraft lander to investigate Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The car-sized drone is scheduled to launch in 2028 and will conduct a comprehensive surface survey using its Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG). The spacecraft will comple...

What Happens If Moon Disappears? Scientists Say Earth's Closest Neighbour Is Slowly Shrinking
Without the Moon, researchers say Earth could experience far more extreme climate shifts, unstable seasons and dramatically weaker tides - fundamentally altering life on the planet.

Lunar Surface Is Cracking as New Tectonic Map Reveals Recent Ridges Stretching Across the Moon, Study Suggests
A new global map of small mare ridges suggests the Moon’s tectonic activity is younger and more widespread than previously believed. Researchers identified more than 1,100 previously unknown ridges, showing the lunar crust is still shrinking. These features, formed by thrust faults similar to lobate scarps, indicate moonquakes could occur across ...

NASA Finds a Crucial Life-Building Chemical on Jupiter’s Moon
Scientists studying archival Galileo spacecraft data have identified ammonia-bearing compounds on Europa for the first time. The ammonia appears along surface cracks, indicating recent transport from the moon’s subsurface ocean. Because ammonia contains nitrogen and degrades quickly under radiation, its presence strengthens Europa’s status as a...
