ESA's Mars Express has unveiled a striking collection of landforms as winter frost melts in Mars' southern polar region. Some of these darker features, emerging from the ice, have been dubbed "cryptic terrain" due to their distinct contrast with the surrounding frost. The polar caps on Mars consist mostly of carbon dioxide ice, with some water ice. During spring, the ice sublimates, releas

When NASA conducts research beyond our world, scientists on Earth prepare as much as possible before sending instruments on extraterrestrial journeys. One way to prepare for these exploration missions is by using machine learning techniques to develop algorithms with data from commercial instruments or from flight instruments on planetary missions. For example, NASA uses mass spectrometer

A massive ball of plasma and accompanying magnetic field ejected from the Sun is expected to strike Earth on Thursday morning, potentially triggering auroras as far south as Alabama, according to US forecasters. It comes as the Sun approaches - or is possibly at - the peak of its 11-year cycle, when activity is heightened. In May, the planet experienced its most powerful geomagnetic s

The discovery of a giant planet orbiting the M-dwarf star TOI-6383A has offered fresh insights into the formation of giant planets around these cool, low-mass stars. TOI-6383A, less than half the mass and radius of the Sun, forms a binary system with an even cooler companion star. The newly discovered planet, with a mass and radius comparable to other known giant planets, raises important questi
