NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars has just sent back its first initial science results, as well as some new audio recordings of wind and the rover's laser zapping rocks.

New research solves a decades-long riddle: from where do the highest-energy cosmic rays originate? Even supernovae - exploding stars - can't explain them. Now it seems these sorts of cosmic rays may come from clusters of young, hot, massive stars.

Scientists have confirmed the presence of water and organic materials that are essential for life on the surface of asteroid Itokawa. The samples of rock and dust were returned to Earth by the Japanese Hayabusa spacecraft in 2010.

The Tianwen-1 mission entered Mars orbit at the end of February. It's expected to land a rover on Mars' surface in May. In the meantime, check out these new images from the Tianwen-1 orbiter.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope went into a protective safe mode early March 7, after on onboard software program failed during a guide star acquisition. NASA has now announced that spacecraft was moved out of safe mode, into a pre-science state with the plan of returning to normal operations.

Hours of radio observations have enabled scientists to create a map of the locations in Earth's night sky of 25,000 supermassive black holes. These black holes are very far away, occupying the cores of distant galaxies.

Via sonification, you can listen to the sounds of space images, as observed at different frequencies. Listen to videos featuring some of these orchestral pieces here!

Clever camerawork allowed scientists to view an elusive cloud that streams away from Mars' volcano Arsia Mons and determine how it's formed.

A new study reveals a distant exoplanet with one hemisphere pulsing with volcanic activity and the other hemisphere quietly providing the fuel.

The zodiacal light is a strange pyramid of light that extends from the eastern or western horizon, before dawn or as true darkness falls. It was known to stem from dust moving in the plane of our solar system. The Juno spacecraft has found that Mars might be the source of the dust.
