Chang'e 6's samples from the lunar far side contain a record of ancient volcanism, magnetism and a mantle depleted in important elements and water.

China’s Chang’e-6 mission has made lunar history by retrieving the first-ever samples from the Moon’s mysterious farside, specifically the massive South Pole–Aitken Basin. These ancient rocks have ...

At Caltech, researchers have turned living jellyfish into low-cost, remotely controlled ocean robots — creating real-life ...

ESA's Mars Express orbiter captured footage of the Mars' moon Deimos pass in front of Ganymede, Europa, Jupiter, Io and ...

NASA's Voyager probes passed through Jupiter's system and snapped pictures of its largest moons, also known as the Galilean moons. These pictures and the data they gathered offered the first hints ...

Callisto, the second-largest moon of Jupiter, is covered in craters and appears, at first glance, geologically inactive. However, magnetic measurements taken by the Galileo probe in the 1990s suggest ...

The first study on the Moon samples brought back by the Chinese Chang'e-6 mission show that the Moon's far side was just as molten as the near one eons ago.

Space Is Callisto, Jupiter’s moon with the most craters and third largest in the Solar System, an oceanic world with life? Callisto, the outermost of the 95 Jovian moons, first caught NASA’s ...

This discovery is exciting because if Callisto has a vast ocean, it could potentially support some form of life, just like other ocean worlds such as Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus.

Confirmation of Callisto's status as an ocean world would likely prompt further investigation into its potential to support life—just as the confirmation inspired research into Europa.

Using computer models, researchers studying Pluto and its moon, Charon, have discovered an unforeseen kind of cosmic collision and the potential for oceans in the outer solar system.

Io does not have a shallow global magma ocean beneath its surface, counter to previous claims, suggests a paper published in Nature.
