Since the 1960's, scientists have taught that maybe frozen water might exist preserved in cold, dark craters at the Moon's poles. Althought earlier lunar missions have detected hints of water on the Moon, new data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)
NASA experts, after detailed analysis, concluded that pebble-containing slabs that have been discovered in 2012 by Mars rover Curiosity, are part of an ancient streambed. These rocks are the first ever discovered on Mars that have streambed gravels. Scientists
The Atlantic hurricane season runs primarily from June 1 through November 30, peaking in mid-September. The Cape Verde Islands off the coast of western Africa are a region where a number of tropical cyclones form during the Atlantic hurricane season.

Comet ISON is expected to become one of the most dazzling skywatching events while making a passage around the Sun later this year. In October of 2012 NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) stated that Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) could reach magnitude -11.6, which
Asteroid 1998 QE2 will fly past Earth at a safe distance of 5.8 million kilometers on May 31, 2013 at 20:59 UTC. The asteroid's size is estimated to be about 2.7 kilometers and this will be the closest it gets to Earth for at least the next two
On May 31, 2013 at 20:59 UTC, the 2.7 km wide Asteroid 1998 QE2 will make its closest approach to Earth at 5.8 million kilometers (3.6 million miles). This will be the closest it gets to Earth for at least the next two
Millions of infrared snapshots from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) have led to a discovery of new and improved asteroid family members in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter. NEOWISE all-sky survey identified 28 new
According to a new study, a quarter of the moon's impact craters retain strange minerals that may be the shattered remains of the space rocks that made the craters and not exhumed bits of the moon's interior, as had been previously thought. The strange
NASA`s Hubble Space Telescope bring us new, detailed look at the very popular Ring Nebula. Observations by Hubble of the glowing gas shroud around an old, dying, sun-like star reveal some very intriguing details. New images display a more complex structure than
