NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) recently captured an image of the retired InSight lander, offering insights into dust accumulation on Mars. Taken on Oct. 23 using the orbiter's High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera, the image reveals InSight's solar panels now share the same reddish-brown hue as the Martian surface.

As seen across North America at sometimes surprisingly low latitudes, brilliant auroral displays provide evidence of solar activity in the night sky. More is going on than the familiar visible light shows during these events, though: When aurora appear, the Earth's ionosphere is experiencing an increase in ionization and total electron content (TEC) due to energetic electrons and ions precipitat

T-Mobile has launched registration for its beta program of T-Mobile Starlink, a new direct-to-cell satellite service set to eliminate cellular dead zones by covering the 500,000 square miles in the U.S. without ground-based network access. The beta program follows recent FCC approval and marks a key step in integrating Starlink's satellite technology with T-Mobile's terrestrial network.

New findings from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope challenge our understanding of planet formation by confirming a longstanding puzzle initially uncovered by the Hubble Space Telescope over two decades ago. The discovery highlights that planet-forming discs persisted far longer in the Universe's early days, even in conditions once deemed inhospitable for planet growth.
