  • Have We Been to Uranus? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Have We Been to Uranus? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Have We Ever Been to Uranus? In 1986, NASA’s Voyager 2 gave us our first and only close-up look at this ice giant. What it found was a bizarre, tilted world with extreme seasons, swirling methane clouds, narrow dusty rings and icy moons that could even hide oceans beneath their crusts.

    Not only could Uranus hold clues about our own solar system but also the many similar-sized planets found throughout the galaxy.

    A NASA scientist explains why Uranus is worth a second visit. Explore more about Uranus: https://science.nasa.gov/uranus/

  • Have we been wrong about why Mars is red? 🔴

    Have we been wrong about why Mars is red? 🔴

    For years, scientists believed Mars got its red color from hematite, a type of rust that forms in dry conditions. But a new study suggests something surprising—ferrihydrite, a different kind of rust that forms in cool liquid water!

    This discovery could mean Mars was once much wetter than we thought—maybe even habitable. And the best part? Our Rosalind Franklin rover will soon analyse Martian soil up close to uncover even more secrets.

  • Apollo 15: “Never Been on a Ride like this Before”

    Apollo 15: “Never Been on a Ride like this Before”

    Our first wheels on the Moon. On the Apollo 15 mission, the Lunar Roving Vehicle allowed the astronauts to cover a much greater distance on the Moon than the previous three flights had accomplished. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 15 mission. On July 26, 1971, David R. Scott (Commander), James B. Irwin (Lunar Module Pilot) and Alfred M. Worden (Command Module Pilot) launched from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A.

    Apollo 15 set several new records for crewed spaceflight: heaviest payload in a lunar orbit of approximately 107,000 pounds, maximum radial distance traveled on the lunar surface away from the spacecraft of about 17.5 miles, most lunar surface moonwalks (three) and longest total of duration for lunar surface moonwalk (18 hours, 37 minutes), longest time in lunar orbit (about 145 hours), longest crewed lunar mission (295 hours), longest Apollo mission, the first satellite placed in lunar orbit by a crewed spacecraft, and first deep space and operational spacewalk.
