Tucson AZ (SPX) Aug 09, 2023 - The galaxy stretches out in front of us. The solar system is behind us. We have traveled over 5 billion miles from the home we departed forever 17 years ago. We threaded our way through the moons of

Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 08, 2023 - Data sent by the spacecraft before it retired last December has provided new details about how fast the planet rotates and how much it wobbles. Scientists have made the most precise measurements eve

Radio data has also allowed planetary scientists to measure Mars rotation rate and learn more about the worlds over-sized, molten core.

Researchers have discovered that Mars’s rotation is speeding up. Heres whats happening.

Flight controllers accidentally sent a wrong command nearly two weeks ago that tilted the spacecraft’s antenna away from Earth and severed contact.

NASA "shouted" a command to the spacecraft across over 12.3 billion miles of space using the Deep Space Network, telling it to turn its antenna back to Earth.

The inadvertent adjustment only shifted the probe's antenna by two degrees but over the vastness of space (Voyager 2 is roughly 12.36 billion miles from Earth, and...

Data collected by the InSight Lander on Mars before its untimely demise this past December may have revealed some of the planet’s curious behavior. Scientists studying Mars recently revealed that the planet’s rotation may be increasing while its core is causing it to wobble.

NASA says shifts in a planets mass can cause it to accelerate - a bit like an ice skater spinning with their arms stretched out, then pulling their arms in.

Data from the now-retired lander also reveals that the Red Planet wobbles due to its molten core.
