New Radar Technique Lets Scientists Probe Invisible Ice Sheet Region on Earth and Icy Worlds

一种新的雷达技术开发的毕业学生ent allows imaging of the upper few feet of ice sheets on Earth and icy worlds. The technique uses instruments on airplanes or satellites to survey large regions quickly. The upper few feet of ice ...

Training Robots How to Learn, Make Decisions on the Fly

Mars rovers have teams of human experts on Earth telling them what to do. But robots on lander missions to moons orbiting Saturn or Jupiter are too far away to receive timely commands from Earth. Researchers developed a novel learning-based method so robots on extraterrestrial bodies can make ...

Gauging the Strength of Ancient and Active Rivers Beyond Earth

A new technique allows scientists to see how intensely rivers used to flow on Mars, and how they currently flow on Titan. The method uses satellite observations to estimate the rate at which rivers move fluid and sediment ...

Jupiter's Moon Europa May Have Had a Slow Evolution

Europa may have a metamorphic origin for the ocean. While some scientists speculated this, a research team shows that if Europa indeed formed from hydrated rocks (i.e., rocks have hydrogen and ...

Researchers Demystify the Unusual Origin of the Geminids Meteor Shower

Princeton researchers used observations from NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission to deduce that it was likely a violent, catastrophic event -- such as a high-speed collision with another body or a ...

Key Building Block for Life Found at Saturn's Moon Enceladus

The search for extraterrestrial life in our solar system just got more exciting. A team of scientists has discovered new evidence that the subsurface ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus contains a ...

Using Photosynthesis for Martian Occupation -- While Making Space Travel More Sustainable

Researchers are working on sustainable technology to harvest solar power in space -- which could supplement life support systems on the Moon and ...

Elusive Planets Play 'Hide and Seek' With CHEOPS

Astronomers have clearly identified the existence of four new exoplanets. The four mini-Neptunes are smaller and cooler, and more difficult to find than the so-called Hot Jupiter exoplanets which ...

Long Missions, Frequent Travel Take a Toll on Astronauts' Brains

A study looking at how the human brain reacts to traveling outside Earth's gravity suggests frequent flyers should wait three years after longer missions to allow the physiological changes in ...

Webb Space Telescope Detects Universe's Most Distant Complex Organic Molecules

Researchers have detected complex organic molecules in a galaxy more than 12 billion light-years away from Earth -- the most distant galaxy in which these molecules are now known to exist. Thanks to ...

NASA's Webb Space Telescope Peers Behind Bars

A delicate tracery of dust and bright star clusters threads across this image from the James Webb Space Telescope. The bright tendrils of gas and stars belong to the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5068, ...

Weigh a Quasar's Galaxy With Precision

Scientists have managed to weigh -- more precisely than any other technique -- a galaxy hosting a quasar, thanks to the fact that it acts as a gravitational lens. Detection of strong gravitational ...

Astrophysicists Confirm the Faintest Galaxy Ever Seen in the Early Universe

After the Big Bang, the universe expanded and cooled sufficiently for hydrogen atoms to form. In the absence of light from the first stars and galaxies, the universe entered a period known as the ...

Towering Plume of Water Escaping from Saturn Moon

Scientists have observed a towering plume of water vapor more than 6,000 miles long -- roughly the distance from the U.S. to Japan -- spewing from the surface of Saturn's moon, ...
