Water has already been spotted on the surface of the asteroid Bennu

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has already spotted the signs for water residing in the asteroid’s surface

Solar System

More evidence arises for existence of Europa’s subsurface ocean

Computer modelling has shown a scenario that accounts for the surface subduction in the Jovian moon’s plate tectonics

Solar System

New evidence argues against water on Mars’ surface

As dark streaky features extend down the Red Planet’s slopes, scientists now believe it is due to the movement of sand grains and not subsurface water

Solar System

Liquid water could have flowed on a cold and icy Mars

New research shows it was possible for liquid water to reshape the undeveloped and glacial Martian surface

Solar System

Mercury’s poles likely to hold more ice than previously thought

Research over the past three decades has suggested that water is frozen on the first rock from the Sun

Deep Space

The making of TRAPPIST-1’s Earth-sized planets uncovered

The system has seven planets as big as our world that orbit close to their star

News

Astronomers detect atmosphere around super-Earth

The exoplanet’s atmosphere could be rich in water and methane

News

Subsurface ocean found beneath another of Saturn’s moons

Titan and Enceladus are already known to hide global oceans beneath their icy crusts, but a new study suggests a large body of water exists on Dione as well

News

New Horizons Update: ‘Dead Sea’ ocean suspected under Pluto’s ‘heart’

A giant asteroid impact in the dwarf planet’s past offers new insights into the possibility of a 100-kilometre body of water beneath its surface

News

Ancient Mars’ lakes formed much later than initially thought

Lakes and snowmelt-fed streams appeared roughly a billion years after a well-documented, earlier era of wet conditions

News

No water at Mars’ seasonal streaks, orbiter finds

Seasonal dark streaks that have become one of the hottest topics in planetary science don’t hold much water

News

Venus-like exoplanet could have oxygen atmosphere

New research suggests that GJ 1132b’s atmosphere has a thin wispy atmosphere baked to a temperature of around 450 degrees Fahrenheit

News

Venus may have once been habitable, NASA says

The hostile world may have had a shallow liquid-water ocean and habitable surface temperatures

Space Exploration

VIDEO: Could you live in an ice house on Mars?

We could be one step closer to colonising the Red Planet with these habitats

News

Spacecraft discovers canyons flooded with liquid methane on Titan

NASA’s Cassini has found deep, steep-sided ravines on Saturn’s moon, filled with organic materials

News

Dawn gets first look into the interior of Ceres

Scientists have accessed powerful data that allows them to study the dwarf planet’s inner structure

News

Modern Martian gullies not formed by abundant water, spacecraft finds

Data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show that ravines on the Red Planet could be being made by carbon dioxide

News

Water likely to have existed under Ceres’ surface

Astronomers are discovering more intriguing information about the dwarf planet
