Most presolar grains were destroyed in the formation of the universe. But some survived on meteorites.

It’s a fundamental requirement for life on Earth. But how does water exist on such a forbidding world as the Moon?

Magnetism and gravity both shape the boundaries of our cosmic neighbourhood.

MIT researchers find wave activity on Saturn’s largest moon may be strong enough to erode the coastlines of lakes and seas.

An interstellar probe could help scientists answer fundamental questions about how the Sun influences Earth, space and other planets in the solar system.

Studying Venus’ water loss can help scientists better understand how planets go from potentially habitable to incapable of supporting life.

The Solar System could be awash with oceans, not on the surface but hidden inside the most surprising bodies
