Designed to show the relative sizes and distances of solar system objects true to scale, 11 plaques have been installed across campus. Zarah Brown, a doctoral student at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, led the project in an effort to make space science accessible to people of all ages.

You can walk the length of our vast solar system at a new, permanent exhibit stretching more than half a mile across the University of Arizona campus.

When OSIRIS-REx returns its asteroid samples to Earth Sept. 24, two University of Arizona researchers will be among the first to examine the precious material.

NASA awarded nearly $3 million to the University of Arizona Kuiper Materials Imaging and Characterization Facility to support OSIRIS-REx sample science and much more.

Strange, dark-veined meteorites rained down on Earth when a fireball exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia; now, planetary scientists have discovered a possible source: a mile-and-a-half-long near-Earth a

In a new paper published in the Planetary Science Journal, University of Arizona scientists identified an asteroid named 1998 OR2 as one potential source of shock-darkened meteorites.

The U.S. Space Surveillance Network tracks tens of thousands of artificial satellites orbiting Earth. But no such group monitors traffic around the moon, or in the cislunar space space in between.Now University of Arizona has received a $7.5 million grant from the U.S. Air Force Research Lab Space Vehicles Directorate to do exactly that.
