An instrument on the Europa Clipper mission might be able to detect biological cells from space.

The new approach “nudges” existing climate simulations closer to future reality.

Results suggest the clouds of Venus could be hospitable for some forms of life.

The “oriented” samples, the first of their kind from any planet, could shed light on Mars’ ancient magnetic field.

Projects under NASA’s CLPS program will probe unexplored questions about the universe’s formation.

Japan is one of several countries that weren’t part of the space race of the 1950s and 1960s looking toward the Moon. They’ve now become the 5th country to have landed on its surface.

The Peregrine and Nova-C landers are due to carry out valuable science at two diverse lunar locations.
