Today Marks 3000 Days on Mars For the Genius âCuriosity Roverâ âSee Celebration Photos From the Red Planet
Tuesday was the 3,000th day, or “Sol,” during which NASA’s Curiosity Rover has been trundling about on the surface of the Red Planet. The images the rover has beamed back have colored in the dreams of thousands of Star Wars, Star Trek, and John Carter fans, and our understanding of what the closest, potentially habitable […]

SpaceX Cargo Dragon succeeds in 1st autonomous undocking
SpaceXâs CRS-21 Cargo Dragon undocked from the International Space Stationâs Harmony module on January 12, 2021, succeeding in the worldâs first-ever autonomous undocking and testing of several new vehicle upgrades.
Is a solar flare the same thing as a CME?
Solar Cycle 25 is here, and that means – in the years ahead – more solar flares and more coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. People sometimes use the words interchangeably, but they’re not the same thing. Here’s the difference.
Magnets dim natural glow of human cells, may shed light on how animals migrate
New research shows how X-Men villain Magneto’s super powers could really work. Researchers have made the first observations of biological magnetoreception – live, unaltered cells responding to a magnetic field in real time. This discovery is a crucial step in understanding how animals from birds to butterflies navigate using Earth’s magnetic field and addressing the question of whether weak electromagnetic fields in our environment might affect human health.

Watch: 25 years of the sun
This video, merging more than 2 decades of footage from SOHO cameras, captures thousands of sunspots, flares, and coronal mass ejections breaking out from the sun.
The science of windy cities
Researchers model urban airflows to help improve the design of drones, skyscrapers, and natural ventilation systems.
U.S.-European mission launches to monitor the world’s oceans
The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite will extend a nearly 30-year continuous dataset on sea level collected by an ongoing collaboration of U.S. and European satellites while enhancing weather forecasts and providing detailed information on large-scale ocean currents to support ship navigation near coastlines.
Group size and makeup affect how social birds move together
Scientists have shown that the size and makeup of groups of social birds can predict how efficiently they use and move through their habitat, according to new findings.
How does land motion, ice height impact sea-level rise? NASA shows in maps
In maps: How Earth’s surface mass in August 2020 deviated from average for all months between 2004 and 2009; spatial variations in the rate of sea-level rise between 1993 and 2018
