You might have watched solar eclipse or lunar eclipse from Earth's surface. Now, lets watch a lunar eclipse that was occurred on October 8 from Mercury's orbit, thanks to space agency NASA's robotic spacecraft MESSENGER.

Once, it was considered that there were 11 planets in our solar system. Now, it is considered that there are actually 8 planets (Pluto, Ceres and Eris are considered as dwarf planets) in our solar system. But now, the very interesting thing is, some scientists have jumped into a debate, claiming that Pluto is a planet.

Every time we hear different kinds of sound. Even 'silence' has its own sound, but we can't hear that. However, scientists know very well that our planet is a source of many unusual sounds. So now, they have decided to record every sound that our Earth makes.

Ever since NASA's robotic spacecraft MESSENGER entered into Mercury's orbit, it's been studying the planet's chemical composition, geology, and magnetic field. And now, it's been reported that MESSENGER is going closer to Mercury than ever before to study the planet more deeply.

Space agency NASA's spacecraft Cassini has already revealed amazing details of Saturn and its Moons. Now, Cassini has spotted 101 geysers through which water is coming upward from Saturn's ice moon Enceladus's underground.

Astronomers announced the discovery of Gliese 581g, an Earth-like planet in 2010. The temperature and size of Gliese 581g Earth-like planet is similar to Earth and hence astronomers started to think Gliese 581g could be hospitable to life. But now, astronomers are saying that this Earth-like planet Gliese 581g may not exist in reality.

For long time, many researchers have believed that Mars has the capability to support life. Lately, NASA scientists have revealed that young rock formations have provided evidence that life on Mars may have existed 200,000 years ago.

Space agency NASA believes that Mars has the capability to support life. And lately, two of NASA's Mars rovers have captured new images of Mars which show that flowing water may still exist today on the planet.

Few days ago we reported that Dwarf planet Ceres may contain more fresh water than Earth. And now it seems like Ceres really has huge amount of water. Lately, researchers have found Ceres spewing water into space.

Scientists believe that there are many planets in space that contain huge amounts of water hidden beneath their surface. And lately, scientists have found a dwarf planet called Ceres that may contain more fresh water than Earth.
