Asteroid Psyche Maps Hint at a World of Metal and Mystery Ahead of NASA's August Mission
NASA plans to deploy its Psyche probe to study the asteroid belt in August, an area between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where remains of the early solar system circle the Sun. The probe will orbit and analyse Psyche's surface for two years to find clues about how early planetary bodies originated. Months ahead of the upcoming mission, a grou...

This Is What Jupiter's Largest Moon Ganymede Sounds Like
From our Moon to Mars to Jupiter, researchers are baring all guns to find more about the world around us. While the current focus is on the Moon and Mars, there already is a probe orbiting Jupiter. Named Juno, the probe's goal is to understand the origin and evolution of the solar system's largest planet.

NASA Says Data From Cassini Probe May Help Explain Saturn's Atmospheric Mystery
The upper layers in the atmospheres of gas giants -- Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune -- are hot, just like Earth's. But unlike Earth, the Sun is too far from these outer planets to account for the high temperatures. Their heat source has been one of the great mysteries of planetary science.
