TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) - At the start of October, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), equipped with the University of Arizona-led HiRISE camera, captured images of comet 3I/ATLAS, marking only the ...

A University of Arizona-led team using a camera orbiting Mars has captured the closest images yet of an interstellar comet so rare that it has sparked wild speculation about its alien origins. The ...

Initial analysis suggested the nucleus was approximately 13.7 kilometers wide (roughly city-sized); however, researchers believe this may have been an overestimate. It is likely a long-period comet ...

Previously unpublished photos of Mars' moon Phobos hint that the mysterious satellite may actually be a trapped comet — or perhaps just a piece of one, along with its twin moon Deimos. When you ...

NASA has lost contact with its MAVEN spacecraft, which has been orbiting Mars for over a decade. The loss of signal occurred on Dec. 6 as the orbiter passed behind Mars from Earth's perspective. MAVEN ...
