Epic timelapse sequence from space shows a year in the life of our planet.

The spacecraft Cassini fly close to this icey planet, discovering whisps of water vapor being shot out of geysers at its surface. What can we learn about interior of this mysterious moon?

Glorious animated sequence describes the final leg of the Cassini spacecraft's epic journey: through Saturn's rings and into the atmosphere of the giant planet, where it will burn up in a blaze of glory.

NASA launched the spacecraft OSIRIS-REx in dramatic fashion, sending in on an historic mission to the asteroid Bennu, to collect and return a sample.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has radar vision that allows it to peer through the haze that surrounds Saturn's largest moon, Titan. This video focuses on Shangri-la, a large, dark area on Titan filled with dunes.

Curiosity has a long-awaited left turn and is beginning a more aggressive climb up Mt. Sharp. Along the way, it studied fractures in the ancient sandstone where groundwater once flowed and permeated the surrounding rock, causing changes in chemistry that created light-toned haloes around the fractures.

Analysis of images from NASA's Dawn mission reveals that dwarf planet Ceres hosts an unexpectedly young cryovolcano that formed with the past billion years.

Scientists are closely monitoring a giant iceberg in the making, as a crack in Antarctica's Pine Island glacier widens.

Aside from the Sun, the solar system's largest magnetosphere belongs to Jupiter - a gargantuan magnetic windsock with a tail stretching out to the orbit of Saturn. NASA has sent the Juno spacecraft to peer beneath Jupiter's clouds, giving scientists their first glimpse of the dynamo driving this giant magnetic field.

The Juno spacecraft will for the first time peer below Jupiter's dense cover of clouds to answer questions about the gas giant and the origins of our solar system. Juno's primary goal will be to reveal the story of Jupiter's formation and evolution.

Ceres' lack of giant impact basins presents a puzzle to scientists. They expected to observe more large craters on the dwarf planet than have been found by NASA's Dawn mission.
