Planets

Here's how to watch the Red Planet swoop across the Beehive Cluster — one of the closest star clusters to Earth — after sunset this week.

A polar cyclone is swirling on Uranus, further showing that the planet's atmosphere is a hive of hidden activity.

The James Webb Space Telescope took its first close look at a "mini-Neptune" — the most common type of planet beyond our solar system — and found signs of water.

The discovery of 62 'irregular' moons orbiting Saturn brings the planet’s total to 145 — and hints at a chaotic past.

The rover spotted a tiny Martian rock that looks eerily like a fossilized book on the surface of the Red Planet.

A reanalysis of Voyager data suggests that four of Uranus moons may have oceans tucked between their cores and icy crusts.

Astronomers have spotted a bright flash of light from a Jupiter-size world being consumed by its own star in a preview of Earth’s likely fate.

Data from China's unresponsive Zhurong rover suggests that Mars had snow and frost as recently as 400,000 years ago.

A satellite from the United Arab Emirates revealed that Mars' moon Deimos is made of the same material as the Red Planet itself, hinting at an ancient collision.

The rover has finally lost a pesky rock that had become lodged in its front left wheel "like a pebble in its shoe." The stone had accompanied the rover for more than half its time on the Red Planet.
