A moon base big enough to cover hundreds of square miles needs its own scouts.

To help map and guard that huge area, the agency is planning hopping scout drones and new lunar rovers, and it has just awarded $1 billion in contracts to start the work.

This black hole may outweigh the galaxy around it.

Astronomers measured the object in a "little red dot" and found it may have formed before its host galaxy had time to grow, hinting at unusual early-universe processes.

What did a quiet Mars spacecraft catch in its data? A never-before-seen atmospheric effect on Mars that could show how solar storms reshape planets without strong magnetic fields.

NASA's MAVEN mission found the effect in data from Mars, pointing to a hidden way the solar wind can act on planets that lack a strong magnetic shield.
