Scientists used data from NASA's Perseverance rover to find tiny lightning bolts on Mars that could scour biosignatures off the world's surface

NASA's MRO, MAVEN, and Perseverance capture rare views of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS.

"This is a snapshot of where we are very early in the scientific process."

ESA's JUICE spacecraft unexpectedly photographed interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS, but thermal protection near the Sun means the pioneering images are 'trapped' onboard until February 2026. Learn why this crucial delay is necessary.

The Dec 19 close approach of 3I/ATLAS is safe! ESA confirms the interstellar comet is 270 million km away, thanks to a Mars orbiter breakthrough that improved trajectory tracking by a factor of ten.

"These confirmations have been given to us in writing, so this is a very important step."

UN planetary defenses target the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS in a massive drill. Stunning amateur images of the alleged 'alien craft' outshine NASA's blurry photos, fueling a massive global debate.

The striking discovery was made by a NASA rover ‘eavesdropping’ on the red planet’s whirling winds
