Instead of forming far out where comets took shape, Bennu may have emerged near the young solar system’s water-ice line, where Jupiter helped shape the mixture of dust that built the asteroid. Understanding exactly how the planets formed 4.5 billion years ago requires looking at material that has hardly changed since the solar system was […]

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Finds Mars Had a Far More Complicated Water History Than Expected
A new study suggests that Jezero Crater’s mysterious “Margin Unit” records a surprisingly complicated history involving ancient lakes, groundwater, and heated fluids moving through the Martian subsurface. When NASA’s Perseverance rover arrived at the inner rim of Mars’ Jezero Crater in September 2023, scientists expected to encounter sedimentary rock. The region, known as the “Margin […]
