Satellites have tracked week-by-week changes in sea level for 33 years, and NASA has now opened the record.

That public stream exposes sudden bumps and dips that can worsen coastal flooding well before yearly averages show the change.

Weekly sea…

Many tiny specks of ancient water are locked within one of the oldest and most famous Martian meteorites ever to fall to Earth, a new study finds. The surprising discovery, achieved using a new form of “neutron scanning,” reveals more clues…

Despite the recent delay in Artemis 2’s launch (now postponed until March due to the discovery of hydrogen fuel leaks during the “wet dress rehearsal”), Artemis fever is very much in full swing. That means there’s a whole heap of Artemis…

New tools unlock new discoveries in science. So when a new type of non-destructive technology becomes widely available, it’s inevitable that planetary scientists will get their hands on it to test it on some meteorites.

A new paper, available…

A new comet approaching the sun has caught the attention of astronomers, primarily because of its lineage. It appears to belong to a group of comets that in some cases have briefly become outstandingly bright objects.
