NASA’s real-time science encyclopedia of deep space exploration Our scientists and far-ranging robots explore the wild frontiers of our solar system
- In Depth | Ganymede – NASA Solar System Exploration
Not only is it the largest moon in our solar system, bigger than the planet Mercury and the dwarf planet Pluto, but NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has found the best evidence yet for an underground saltwater ocean on Ganymede
- Mars By the Numbers – NASA Solar System Exploration
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, and the seventh largest It’s the only planet we know of inhabited entirely by robots
- Pluto By the Numbers - NASA Solar System Exploration
Pluto was once our solar system's ninth planet, but has been reclassified as a dwarf planet It's located in the Kuiper Belt
- In Depth | Moons – NASA Solar System Exploration
Of the terrestrial (rocky) planets of the inner solar system, neither Mercury nor Venus have any moons at all, Earth has one and Mars has its two small moons In the outer solar system, the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune have dozens of moons
- In Depth | Titan – NASA Solar System Exploration
Titan is bigger than Earth's moon, and larger than even the planet Mercury This mammoth moon is the only moon in the solar system with a dense atmosphere, and it’s the only world besides Earth that has standing bodies of liquid, including rivers, lakes and seas, on its surface
- The Lunar Dusty Exosphere: The Extreme Case of an Inner Planetary . . .
The Moon is an extreme type of atmosphere – a surface bounded exosphere – and may represent the final ‘ground state’ of any geologically dormant body Neutral gas and dust are emitted from its surface via universal processes believed to be occurring at all near-airless bodies
