A large population of asteroids hurtling through the solar system may not be as dry as previously thought, salt grains on an asteroid show.

Asteroid sample challenges our assumptions about water in space.

The discovery of tiny salt grains in a sample from an asteroid provides strong evidence that liquid water may be more common in the solar system than previously thought.

Sodium chloride, better known as table salt, isnt exactly the type of mineral that captures the imagination of scientists. However, a smattering of tiny salt crystals discovered in a sample from an asteroid has researchers at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory excited, because these crystals can only have formed in the presence of liquid water.

Quakes could be the source of the mysteriously smooth terrain on the moons circling Jupiter and Saturn, according to a new study.

The lights were seen Sunday night all across Arizona, with multiple people capturing pictures of them from Flagstaff all the way to south Tucson.

On April 23, 1923, the university celebrated a new, 36-inch telescope that would kick off major astronomical research. Steward Observatory will be rededicated this weekend in honor of its 100-year anniversary.

Quakes could be the source of the mysteriously smooth terrain on the moons circling Jupiter and Saturn, according to a new study led by a UArizona graduate student.
