Pictures sent back by spacecraft such as ESA's Mars Express show that Mars has many large impact craters. Most of these are to the south of the equator. They seem to have been made by meteorites crashing onto the surface billions of years ago. The largest crater is about 1800 km across – large enough to swallow half of Europe.

According to a team of researchers at Georgia Tech, Pluto's largest moon, Charon, acts as a sort of intermittent shield protecting Pluto's atmosphere from the solar wind.

So where else are they looking? What exactly are they looking for? There are nine places in our universe where scientists say life is a possibility

Description: This picture of Neptune was produced from the last whole planet images taken through the green and orange filters on the Voyager 2 narrow angle camera. The images were taken at a range of 4.4 million miles from the planet, 4 days and 20 hours before closest approach. The picture shows the Great Dark Spot and its companion bright smudge; on the west limb the fast moving bright feature called Scooter and the little dark spot are visible. These clouds were seen to persist for as…

Researchers believe that the moons (if they exist) likely have diameters of only 4 to 14 km (2 to 9 miles) and reflect hardly any light. The new discovery highlights how little we know for sure about our solar system and how much more research still needs to be done.

Wrapped in an atmosphere tinted pale blue by high-altitude methane, Uranus has occasionally been observed to develop large storms in its frigid windy skies. NASA’s Voyager 2 saw a few small storm c…
