"Who would have thought flat low-lying tessera terrain or a big plateau is what an impact crater could look like on Venus?" Hansen says. "We had been looking for big holes in the ground, but for that ...

The rover has so far spent about two months negotiating a steep route out of the Jezero Crater with the aim of cresting the rim in early December. At roughly the halfway point, the rover stopped Sept.

"Mars didn't want to make it easy for anyone to get to the top of this ridge." NASA's Perseverance rover took a break from its Mars mountaineering expedition recently to survey its old stomping ...

a colossal impact crater on the lunar farside. The SPA basin is not only the largest impact site on the Moon but also the oldest visible basin in the inner Solar System, formed over 4 billion years ...
