Vivid clouds swirl across Jupiter's skies like colorful brushstrokes in a new photo from NASA's Juno spacecraft.

Using data from NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, scientists have determined that the solar system's tiniest planet, Mercury, hides a not-so-tiny secret: a 10-mile-thick mantle of diamond.

A new video shows how a tiny rover on China's ambitious Chang'e 6 mission used AI to snap an epic shot on the far side of the moon.

Northern lights could be visible over some northern and upper Midwest states on July 24. A geomagnetic storm watch has been issued by NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center.

Two loops of "dark" plasma exploded from the sun on July 21, sending a stream of plasma and magnetic field known as a coronal mass ejection barreling towards Earth.

Scientists have figured out a way to estimate the speed of a coronal mass ejection before it even leaves the sun, potentially providing a big boost to space weather forecasts.
