More than 90 NSF NOIRLab volunteers welcomed visitors from the Tohono O’odham Nation to NSF Kitt Peak National Observatory to enjoy an evening of cultural performances and educational activities. On the evening of 10 October 2026, U.S. National Science Foundation Kitt Peak National…
The result lands in a week when space hardware keeps testing its software stack. We covered a related signal-processing story when three ionosphere surges tested GPS receiver gear on Artemis II. The pattern is similar. A hard physical limit sits in…

A European spacecraft detected localized pulses of hydrogen chloride above Alba Mons's fracture systems — the first atmospheric chemistry evidence that Mars's most voluminous volcanic structure may still be geologically active. Mars's largest volcano by surface area is quietly venting volcanic…
A dormant magma chamber may be hidden beneath the surface of Mars, according to new research published on Wednesday. The findings published in the journal Science Advances indicate that, geologically speaking, Mars is by no means dead inside. "Our findings…
A film introduced the Endeavour’s journey from start to final launch as smoke billowed in mysterious clouds. When the haze dissipated, the newest, grand addition to the Science Center was revealed: the spaceship in its vertical, full form. The film…
Experience an evening in the planetarium featuring the live planetarium show A Galactic Odyssey followed by the planetarium film Encounters in the Milky Way. Program length is one hour. Recommended for ages 6 and older. Tickets required. Embark on a journey…
Teachers and students were excited by all of the engaging activities, which included a dark sky awareness experience, as well as workshops to learn about the Solar System, the life cycle of stars, galaxies, robotics, and much more. These activities…
On October 27th NASA announced its commitment to launch UVEX, the UltraViolet EXplorer, a new space telescope that will survey the sky in ultraviolet light. The project is led by Caltech in the United States, and the launch is planned before…
Researchers believe underground magma releases gases through fissures that remain blocked by ice during the Martian winter. So far, today's Mars has not only been considered a lifeless planet, but also a geologically inactive planet. New measurement data from the…
