In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth. Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa, another moon orbiti...
The space agency used its 23-year-oldMarsOdyssey orbiter to capture a never-before-seen view of Olympus Mons — a vista similar to how astronauts in a hypothetical orbitingspacestation might view the behemoth mountain. It's 373 miles (600 kilometers) wide — about the size of Arizona — ...
