Space Jezero Mons is a mountain sitting on the edge of Jezero crater on Mars. NASA’s Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater in 2021. The mountain might actually be a volcano “hiding in plain sight,” according to some scientists. Is it? A new study using data from both orbiters and Perseverance said yes. The findings explain the unexpected volcanic rocks Perseverance found.

Space Titania and Oberon are two of Uranus’ largest moons. Scientists expected them to be darker in color on their trailing hemispheres, due to being hit by radioactive particles. New observations by the Hubble Space Telescope, however, show they are darker on their leading hemispheres instead. Why? Dust from smaller “irregular” moons is coating the moons’ leading hemispheres and making them darker, a new study suggested.

Space 14 Herculis c is a huge exoplanet 60 light-years from Earth. Its orbit around an almost sunlike star is highly elongated. The planet is about seven times more massive than Jupiter. NASA’s Webb space telescope took direct images of 14 Herculis c. With a temperature of 26 degrees Fahrenheit (-3 degrees Celsius), it is one of the coldest exoplanets that astronomers have imaged to date. The system also contains one other known planet.

UAP – or UFOs – are hard to study scientifically. Sightings are usually fairly brief and can’t be repeated for closer examination, unlike with most scientific studies. But is there a way to do it? A team of physicists from the University at Albany conducted their first field test of new scientific protocols in 2021. They just reported their initial results. The tests used infrared cameras, radar weather data, AI and other instruments.

Space This video depicts a simulation of millions of small solar system objects that astronomers said the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will discover in the next 10 years. Video via Jake Andrew Kurlander/ YouTube. There are millions of small bodies in the solar system, including asteroids, comets and other minor planets. But there are still many more waiting to be discovered. Astronomers used new simulator software called Sorcha to predict that the upcoming Vera C.

Had a dream last night I saw a triangle UAP high up above me. Looked like a tiny black solid triangle. Then it suddenly changed into a long snake-like shape with tendrils and flew off. 🤷♂️
Oh *now* they fix the escalators, when there’s only 10 days left, and being in disrepair for the past few years now … But that said, I loved The Bay and will miss it. End of a centuries-long era. 🥺 https://t.co/OhNfPM7RXk
A lot of people are repeating Luna’s claim that Elizondo, Mellon and Grusch all “called in sick” instead of going to the SCIFs last week. But that contradicts what others have reported. Only Mellon has stated he had pneumonia. And Grusch *was* in the 1st SCIF, with AARO. #UAP 🤔
