NASA scientists were baffled after uncovering a rock on Mars that didn’t belong there — with a composition pointing to potentially interstellar origins. “This rock was identified as a target of interest,” the space agency wrote in a recent blog post detailing the potentially intergalactic gravelstone.

At the start of October, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), equipped with the University of Arizona-led HiRISE camera, captured images of comet 3I/ATLAS, marking only the

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has made another strange discovery. While investigating the Vernodden area of Jezero Crater – the crater where the rover first landed on the Red Planet in February 2021 – it found an unusually shaped rock that is not meant to be Where it may have come from is anyone’s guess,

Mars is a cold, dry, desert-like planet. But billions of years ago, scientific evidence suggests that it had a thick atmosphere, which kept it warm enough to support flowing water on its surface. So, what happened to the Red Planet, and could it happen to Earth?

Envision a time when hundreds of spacecraft are exploring the solar system and beyond. That’s the future that NASA’s ESCAPADE, or Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers, mission will help unleash.

The ESCAPADE mission, which launched to space on a Blue Origin rocket on Thursday, breaks the mold of how planetary science missions typically come together.

NASA scientists made an unexpected discovery on Mars—a strange shaped rock given the name “Phippsaksla” that may not have originated on the red planet at all. While surveying bedrock at a site called Vernodden,

NASA's twin ESCAPADE spacecraft launched aboard Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket Thursday afternoon from Cape Canaveral, beginning their journey to Mars with arrival expected in 2027.

Hitching a ride on a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket, NASA's pair of Escapade (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) spacecrafts were launched at at 3:55 p.m. ET Thursday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

New Glenn is set to lift off from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The launch window opens at 2:57 p.m. and closes at 4:25 p.m. ET. Blue Origin will begin livestreaming the event approximately 20 minutes before liftoff, and you can watch right here.

For the first time in more than five years, humanity has launched a mission to Mars — but it won't be arriving at the Red Planet anytime soon. NASA's twin ESCAPADE probes launched Thursday (Nov. 13) on the second-ever flight of Blue Origin's powerful New Glenn rocket.

To say that a trip from Earth to Mars is merely a long one would be a massive understatement. On July 30, 2020, when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sent its Mars rover "Perseverance" atop an Atlas V rocket to the red planet to collect rock samples,
