Astronomy Picture of the Day - A Zodiacal Night
21+ hour, 2+ min ago (122+ words) Explanation: Also known as the false dawn, a luminous band of zodiacal light is captured in this dark night skyscape. The serene view was recorded just before the beginning of astronomical twilight during September's star party at the remote Hanle…...
NASA Struck Mars 5 Times, What the Craters Revealed Stunned Scientists
20+ hour, 56+ min ago (794+ words) NASA spacecraft debris created five fresh craters on Mars, allowing scientists to measure the strength of the planet’s surface in an unexpected way. NASA’s Perseverance rover mission unintentionally created five impact craters on Mars, giving scientists a rare opportunity to…...

On Deimos, orbital speed just above the surface is only about 14 km/h—around elite racewalking pace—while roughly 20 km/h would let you escape the tiny moon altogether.
1+ day, 2+ hour ago (1082+ words) JPL's measured gravity and radius put a surface-grazing Deimos orbit near 14.2 km/h and local escape near 20.1 km/h, although Mars and the moon's irregular shape complicate real flight....
A giant crater may reveal the origin of Mars’ doomed moon
1+ day, 5+ hour ago (923+ words) A massive crater on Mars’ moon Phobos may hide a dense region of compressed material that could reveal whether the moon is a captured asteroid or debris from an ancient impact on Mars. Japan’s upcoming MMX sample return mission could…...
Methone, a moon of Saturn only about three kilometres across, has no observed craters larger than 130 metres: its porous icy surface may slowly shift and erase impact scars, while Saturn’s tides and the moon’s rotation mould it into a smooth, egg-like shape.
1+ day, 9+ hour ago (1076+ words) Cassini's only close look at tiny Methone found no crater larger than about 130 metres. Its smooth shape points to an extraordinarily porous moon whose surface cannot preserve relief easily....
