In 1977, NASA launched two space probes destined to upend our view of the solar system. Decades later, the discoveries continue to dazzle. Read more, listen to the podcast, watch the video.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder has joined forces with universities and space agencies from around the world in an international effort to design and build small satellites as a way to train future scientists and engineers.
Tremendous amounts of soot following a massive asteroid strike 66 million years ago would have plunged Earth into darkness for nearly two years, according to a news release from NCAR.
By processing images from many sources and stitching them together, the Eclipse Megamovie Project will create a continuous view of the total solar eclipse as it crosses the United States.
A solar instrument package designed and built by Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder, considered a key tool to help monitor the planet's climate, has arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a targeted November launch.
A colossal impact with a large asteroid early in Martian history may explain several of the planet's mysteries, including the formation of its moons.
Studying mice post-space travel could be key in solving bone loss, a problem that affects millions of older Americans and inhibits human space exploration of Mars.
Chris Heckman and his students are working to strengthen the decision-making capabilities of autonomous cars. Though mostly focused on Earth-bound activities, the technology platform could one day further space exploration.
Measurements over the first 1,000 days of the MAVEN mission are providing insight into how the sun stripped Mars of most of its atmosphere, turning a planet once possibly habitable to microbial life into a barren desert world.
Two galaxy clusters in the process of merging created a layer of surprisingly hot gas between them that Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder astronomers believe is from turbulence caused by banging into each other at supersonic speeds.
