    Mars May Have Been Habitable More Recently than Scientists Thought, New Study Suggests

    A new study from Harvard’s Paleomagnetics Lab suggests that Mars’ global magnetic field may have lasted until about 3.9 billion years ago—hundreds of millions of years longer than previously thought. This extended magnetic field would have shielded the planet, allowing for more stable conditions suitable for liquid water and, potentially, microbial life.
  • Uranus' Moon Miranda May Host A Hidden Ocean Beneath Its Icy Surface

    Uranus’ Moon Miranda May Host a Hidden Ocean Beneath Its Icy Surface

    Scientists have identified Miranda, one of Uranus’ smallest moons, as a potential “ocean world” with a subsurface ocean beneath its icy crust. Using data from Voyager 2 and new computer models, researchers suggest that tidal heating from gravitational interactions with neighboring moons may have generated enough heat to sustain liquid water deep within Miranda. This discovery adds Miranda to a growing list of moons with possible oceans, prompting calls for a future mission to Uranus to confirm the finding and explore its implications for planetary habitability.

    Voyager 1 Reconnects with NASA Using Backup Transmitter Activated for the First Time Since 1981

    NASA recently reestablished communication with Voyager 1 after the spacecraft unexpectedly switched to a backup radio transmitter, dormant since 1981. Positioned over 15 billion miles away, Voyager 1 entered fault protection mode, disabling its primary transmitter. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory used the Deep Space Network to detect the faint S-band signal, allowing mission control to continue monitoring Voyager as it journeys through interstellar space. This workaround highlights the resilience of the Voyager team and the spacecraft’s enduring mission.
  • Nasa's Lunar Trailblazer Set To Uncover The Moon’s Hidden Ice Reserves Artist’s concept depicts NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer in lunar orbit about 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the surface of the Moon.
