Few space missions are run from university campuses. NASA's Pandora space has embarked on its mission to stare at worlds outside of our solar system and their host stars, all under the watchful eyes of a dedicated team at the U of A's own mission control center.

The U of A-led EMILIA-3D is one of three recent science investigation payloads selected through NASA's PRISM SALSA program to study the lunar surface.

Few spiders elicit as much fear as the brown recluse, but most people are far less likely to run into one or get bitten than they think, according to U of A researcher Matthew Cordes.

New observations of unprecedented detail reveal that one of the most enigmatic asteroids in the solar system has a one-of-a-kind shape and is orbited by a previously unknown moon.

Five U of A projects have secured funding through the U.S. Department of Energy's Genesis Mission to apply artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific discovery in support of energy, national security and other critical national priorities.

U of A researchers revealed polarized light and a powerful magnetic environment in a gamma-ray burst afterglow, offering new clues about how the universe's most massive stars end their lives.
