Crowdfunding Campaign Aims to Launch Ambitious Lunar Science Mission
The act of putting important information in written form inside sealed containers and have them thrown into the sea in the hopes of them eventually being recovered by someone on a distant shore has been a time-honored maritime tradition since the time of the Ancient Greeks. With the advent of the Space Age during the […] More

Why NASA’s Plans for an Early 2020s Mission to Europa Are Likely to Happen
For years scientists and dreamers alike have looked toward Jupiter’s moon Europa with a keen interest, because decades of observations and research of the frozen world (thanks to spacecraft like Galileo and Voyager) have shown us that the Jovian satellite is easily one of the most likely places—if not the most likely place—in the Solar […] More

Mars Rover Opportunity Halfway to Next Destination
Since August 2011, NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has been exploring the rim of a 14-mile-wide crater called Endeavour that is geologically very distinct from anything the robot craft had previously encountered. Ancient rocks and clay minerals that may have been laid down in the presence of water are among the attractions of this site. More

Searching for Life in Europa’s Ocean – With a Tiny Submarine
For decades, Jupiter’s moon Europa has been the focus of fascination and debate. Why? Because it has a global ocean—a deep, salty ocean similar to those on Earth, except that in Europa’s case it is always covered by a crust of ice. Speculation has grown that there could be life of some kind in that alien watery darkness, […] More
