Mars

Winners of the competition captured brand new discoveries out in the depths of space, as well as beautiful images of our solar system neighbors.

New images of Olympus Mons have helped provide answers to a Martian mystery.

NASA is planning to deliver the first samples of Martian material to Earth, which could shed light on the question of whether life existed on the Red Planet.

A variety of strange phenomena have been spotted in the depths of space that look eerily like human objects, or even animals.

Mars is spinning faster and faster, with the length of its days decreasing incrementally every year.

The discovery has implications in the search for potential signs of life on the Red Planet, researchers said.

A senior Russian official said that Mars makes money in Russia but sponsors Ukraine and, possibly, its armed forces, "hiding behind humanitarian goals."

Several car windows were smashed while smoke and dust engulfed the surrounding area following the launch.

The SpaceX team and CEO Elon Musk still deemed the launch a success despite the explosion.

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), which has already been observed with the naked eye, is zooming away from Earth, perhaps never to return.

Mars will honor women by selling "all-female" M&M's for a limited time.

The planetary parade will likely only be visible until December 31 as Mercury rapidly fades.

The three asteroids range in size, between that of a Boeing-777 and of a 50-story building.

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can be seen with the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune can be observed with binoculars or a telescope.

The asteroid, named 2015 RN35, will be traveling at speeds of 13,220 miles per hour as it flies past our planet.

The last full moon of the year coincided with two rare astronomical events that thrilled stargazers and photographers worldwide.

Tonight's full moon will appear in the night sky before Mars passes behind it.

The last full moon of the year will occur at the same time that Mars aligns with the Earth, moon and sun, meaning the Red Planet will be at its brightest.

A viral video of a giant red moon rising over the Alps has garnered hundreds of thousands of views, but is it real?

"Martians aren't even safe from being Herschel Walker's secret kid," jeered a viewer. Walker's remark about "Martians" sent the term trending on Twitter.

The Chinese Mars rover Zhurong uses "inchworm"-like movements to free its wheels, a trait that NASA's Artemis mission has included in their moon rover too.

This strange reversing of Mars' path occurs around once every two years as Earth overtakes the Red Planet in our orbit around the sun.

The asteroid is due to pass the Earth on November 1 at around six times the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

The research points to recent geothermal activity under the southern Martian ice cap.

Users can experience the desert landscape on Mars using virtual reality technology.

Debris from previous Mars landings and crashes might affect future missions to the red planet.

It's significant because researchers say they can't carry everything out to space, and if they forget a tool on a mission they can't come back to get it.

NASA had said there will be 60 percent favorable weather conditions as the agency tried to launch the historic spacecraft again after previous engine problems.

The device is eventually expected to help humans establish farms for self-sustenance on Mars.

The historic mission's launch was halted following a fuel leak, but it could take place as early as next week.
