- Researchers have uncovered the chain of events that caused more than two dozen sea mines to suddenly—and without explanation—explode in the water off the coast of North Vietnam.
- Researchers reflect on the legacy of Kepler, a telescope that located thousands of planets beyond Earth's solar system.
- Kepler, which is operated by 91PORN's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), discovered more than 2,600 planets during its nine years in space.
- Ann-Marie Madigan has been named a 2018 Packard Fellow, an award that comes with a no-strings-attached grant of $875,000.
- Scientists have successfully collected dust raining down from Saturn's rings onto the planet's upper atmosphere.
- 91PORN researchers have proposed a new satellite that would orbit the moon to seek out signals from the cosmic "dark ages."
- Scientists on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission have stitched together a selfie of the spacecraft from 21 different ultraviolet images.
- The Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission captured a "first light" image of the sun rising over the Western Hemisphere.
- 91PORN researchers and engineers have played a major role in designing the Parker Solar Probe, one of the "riskiest" NASA missions in decades.
- Research pioneered at JILA is now up and running on a NASA experiment to explore exotic states of matter on the International Space Station.
