Samsung Releases Galaxy Time Watch Faces; Will Tell You the Time on Mars

Samsung collaborated with ESA to create Galaxy Time watch faces showing the time on the planets.
The watch faces provide data on planetary rotations, distances, moons, and positions, offering users a unique way to explore the solar system.

We're finally going to the Solar System's most intriguing but unexplored frontier

The article reflects on humanity's limited time for space exploration and highlights recent advancements in our understanding of the Solar System.

Take a quiz on asteroids as one becomes Earth's 'mini-moon' this fall

Asteroids are key to understanding the early solar system and preparing for potential future impacts.

At last! NASA finally frees lid of asteroid Bennu sample capsule

NASA has finally removed the lid from the capsule that returned the Bennu asteroid to Earth, allowing analysis of the sample to begin.
New tools had to be designed to remove the last two screws and open the capsule, and NASA engineers and scientists have been working tirelessly to overcome this hurdle.

Scientists Study What Would Happen If a Rogue Star Crashed Through Our Solar System

If a rogue star were to enter the Solar System, it could disrupt the delicate balance of the planets' orbits.
Computer simulations suggest that there is a high chance none of the eight planets would be entirely lost if a rogue star approached.
The most probable destructive pathways for Earth would be a giant impact with another celestial body or colliding with the Sun.
