New images show intriguing Perseverance discovery on Mars | News | wsiltv.com
Perseverance has finally collected samples from the site of an ancient river delta, which is full of rock layers that serve as a geological record of the Martian past.
Scientists identified mysterious diamonds that likely originated from a dwarf planet that once existed in our solar system -- until it collided with a large asteroid 4.5 billion years ago.
Belgium joins NASA mission to defend Earth from asteroids
The European Space Agency (ESA), and as a result, Belgium, will take part in an upcoming NASA mission to defend the planet against the threat of asteroids, Belga News Agency reports.
The mission, called "DART" (Double Asteroid Redirection Test), will examine whether a space vehicle is capable of deflecting an asteroid sufficiently by crashing on its surface so that it no longer constitutes a threat to Earth.
Meteorite that fell on a Cotswolds driveway contains extra-terrestrial water
Extra-terrestrial water has been found in a British meteorite for the first time - and it closely resembles Earth's oceans, scientists have confirmed.
The Winchcombe meteorite landed on a driveway in Gloucestershire in February last year, and was found so soon after impact that researchers believe it is one of the most pristine ever discovered.

Dinosaurs would've loved NASA, retired astronaut says | Digital Trends
Retired astronaut Chris Hadfield has pointed out how dinosaurs would very much have liked it if NASA had been around when they ruled Earth.
The three-time space visitor isn't suggesting that the remarkable creatures would've tapped NASA for its astronomy knowledge or asked to be sent on long missions to Mars. Rather, he’s highlighting how the space agency could've used its technology to save the creatures from extinction.
