According to two new papers, Mars may have gigantic drinkable glaciers and we might have found the reason that galaxies glow.

Every rover landed on Mars is totally unique, but isn’t it even nicer to know that they’ve got a twin or even a triplet here on Earth?

Meet Phoenix Lander, the spacecraft that was pieced together from previous missions and rose from the ashes...all the way to Mars!

We’ve done a surprising amount of exploration on Mars. But mapping its insides has been a difficult puzzle to solve!

Mars is covered with the remnants of long-dead volcanoes, but one of them might have been alive surprisingly recently.

We've been trying to understand Mars for years, but some scientists think that ancient craters on earth might hold some answers!

We've successfully landed 10 different craft on Mars, but they all owe a bit of their success to Mars 3.

NASA's MOXIE successfully creates Oxygen on Mars, and SpaceX's Crew-Dragon successfully returns to the ISS.

What’s happening with the helicopter on Mars? We have an update on Ingenuity’s progress.

Many researchers believe that all the water on Mars dried up, but some evidence suggests that it might have dried in.

How long can we outrun extinction before the universe becomes uninhabitable to us?

Scientists have discovered over 5,000 exoplanets in the last few decades, but where are the Exo-Earths?

It turns out if you’d like to take a deeper look into the universe, the universe itself might actually help you do that!

Though our Sun is something we can count on to rise and set each day, it also comes with some phenomena that can catch us by surprise!

What was once thought to be a black hole might in fact be a star that feeds on its own kind!

In 1999, scientists discovered something that took over 20 years to solve. Why do solar flares move like a lava lamp?

Have we been wrong about how big neutron stars are this whole time?

Previous missions have allowed us to see the universe in wavelengths that the human eye can’t see!

The exploding “cow” around 200 million light-years away is running astronomers for a loop and we could be witnessing a first for astronomy!

There's a star that spins so fast that it can almost complete a full rotation by the time you finish reading this episode description.

Unfortunately, time machines don't exist, but there are other ways to learn about our sun's past.

When stars die, they tend to take everything around them with them. But new evidence appears to show a planet orbiting a white dwarf!

When you think of a frozen object in space, you might think of Pluto, but stars themselves actually freeze.

Extreme environments full of life on Earth have led researchers to expand the habitability to something that includes many more planets!

The extreme mass of neutron stars leads to enormous gravitational pulls, resulting in nearly perfect spheres.
