Chile’s Atacama Desert is the driest non-polar desert on Earth — and a ready analog for Mars’ rugged, arid terrain. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Larger image The Atacama Desert, one of the
A new study published in July 2025 tackles one of science’s most profound mysteries—how did life first emerge from nonliving matter on early Earth? Using cutting edge mathematical approaches, researcher
A visualization of the spectral coverage and (cumulative) on-target integration times. See Table 2 for more information on the spectral settings. The background grayscale shows a representative composite spectrum of
Eccentricity of inner super-Earth vs. the semimajor axis ratio between the outer cold Jupiter and the inner super-Earth from observations, with the color of the symbol showing the semimajor axis
Time series of atmospheric temperature and He column density for the observation day January 26, 2023. Blue and gray points represent the 20x binned and unbinned best-fit planetary parameters obtained
ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet collect a spectra from a rusty rock composed mainly by mafic minerals like olivines and pyroxenes, the same that could characterize the lunar mantleLarger image —
Positions of the final literature sample of background stars with spectroscopically measured 3 µm optical depths, overlaid on a Planck 857 GHz (350 µm) image of the Milky Way. Different
The phase curve of a planet over one rotation at eight different illumination phases. The images at the right show renderings of the planet’s illuminated surface throughout the observation. Each
