A team of scientists at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory brings alien landscapes to life by creating realistic, to-scale digital terrain models from scientific data.
A University of Arizona team has found that an interesting pathway could have led the moon fragment to reach Earth's orbital space, suggesting there could be many more.
The center will bring together students and faculty from across campus to unravel the enigma of life's beginnings and our place in the cosmos.
A research group at the Arizona Cosmology Lab is developing a method to study dark energy for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope mission, which is scheduled to launch by 2027.
After dropping off its historic sample from asteroid Bennu, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is headed to its next target: another potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroid, called Apophis.
The delivery from the asteroid Bennu, seven years after the spacecraft launched, marks the end of the space-voyaging phase of the mission. Scientists will now study the rocks and dust to better understand the origins of life on Earth.
Ahead of Sunday's sample delivery, learn about the asteroid, the spacecraft and the people starring in the historic OSIRIS-REx mission, which will launch decades of scientific research and could help explain the origins of the solar system and life itself.
