First Samples from the Moon’s Farside Return on Chang’e-6
These samples could provide novel geologic insight into the Moon’s formation and history.
Black Space Week Celebrates Fifth Anniversary
The annual event has grown from a viral hashtag to a global uplifting of Black experiences with space.
在土卫二上寻找生命：我们应该问些什么问题？
在冰冷的海洋世界中，建立在有机化学进化理论基础上的研究框架，可能会比仅仅寻找生命存在的直接证据，带来更深刻的见解。
A Splashy Meteorite Was Forged in Multiple Collisions
The Winchcombe meteorite was recovered, largely from a driveway, just hours after it fell to Earth, preserving evidence that its early relatives could have filled Earth’s oceans.
Magnetic Barriers Might Explain Mysterious Hot Jupiters
Hot Jupiters might end up very close to stars because a magnetic field halts their progress—and future observations could confirm the idea.
A Magma Ocean Fuels This Exoplanet’s Atmosphere
The finding is an atmospheric first for astronomers but not for the planet.
Spiral Waves May Explain the Sun’s Baffling Rotation
New observations and models show a connection between high-latitude waves in the Sun’s interior and the different rates of spin between the solar equator and poles.
A Step Closer to Solving the Fermi Paradox
Finding evidence of complex life elsewhere in the Milky Way galaxy hinges on locating rocky planets with plate tectonics and a mixture of landmasses and oceans, new research suggests.
The Art of Doing Fieldwork on the Moon
How early-career planetary scientists are preparing to support the astronauts who will return to the lunar surface and beyond.
Red-Light-Loving Bacteria Could Expand the Search for Life
Scientists are uncovering genes responsible for oxygenic photosynthesis in cyanobacteria to shift the search for potentially habitable worlds.
