Nasa Dawn Spacecraft

SpaceX is set to make history once again with its Polaris Dawn mission, scheduled for launch on August 27. This mission marks a significant milestone in space exploration, as it will not only take the Crew Dragon spacecraft to its highest orbit yet—approximately 435 miles (700 kilometers) above Earth—but also feature the first-ever private spac...

Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, is an "ocean world" with a big reservoir of salty water under its frigid surface, scientists said in findings based on data obtained by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft has gone silent, ending an 11-year-old historic mission to explore the two largest bodies in the main asteroid belt, Vesta and Ceres, the US space agency said.

Scientists have known for about a month that Dawn was essentially out of hydrazine, the fuel that kept the spacecraft's antennae oriented toward Earth.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has beamed back a stunning image that shows Saturn with its icy rings stretched across the foreground.

The malfunction will not significantly impact the rest of Dawn's extended mission, NASA said in a statement on Wednesday.

US space agency NASA is poised on Thursday to launch its groundbreaking first mission to a near-Earth asteroid to collect samples that could shed light on the dawn of the solar system.

The dwarf planet Ceres - which must have been hit by numerous large asteroids during its 4.5 billion-year lifetime - has a mysteriously low number of large craters, scientists using data from NASA's Dawn spacecraft have found.

This mountain appeared as a small, bright-sided bump on the surface from a distance of 46,000km.

The crater has bright material exposed on its rim which could be salts and its flat floor likely formed from impact melt and debris.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft has shown the brightest spots on the dwarf planet Ceres that are gleaming with mystery.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft has delivered the closest-yet views of the dwarf planet called Ceres that show the small world's features in unprecedented detail.

Dawn is the first mission to visit a dwarf planet and the first to orbit two distinct targets in our solar system.

New images of Ceres from NASA's Dawn spacecraft has provided more visible images of mysterious bright spots and also revealed a pyramid-shaped peak towering over a relatively flat landscape.

The fact that something is visible when near the edge of Ceres suggests that the feature must rise relatively high above the surface.
