Feature
NASA Satellite Finds Interior of Mars Is Colder
05.15.08 -- New observations from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter indicate that the crust and upper mantle of Mars are stiffer and colder than previously thought.
Feature
NASA Phoenix Mission Ready for Landing in Mars's North Polar Region
05.13.08 -- NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander is preparing to end its long journey and begin a three-month mission to taste and sniff fistfuls of Martian soil and buried ice. The lander is scheduled to touch down on the Red Planet May 25.
Feature
NASA Spacecraft Photographs Avalanches on Mars
03.03.08 -- The High Resolution Imaging Experiment on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a spacecraft in orbit around Mars, has taken the first ever image of active avalanches near the Red Planet's north pole.
Feature
NASA Views Landing Site Through Eyes of Future Moon Crew
02.27.08 -- NASA has obtained the highest resolution terrain mapping to date of the moon's rugged south polar region, with a resolution to about 656 feet (20 meters) per pixel.

Inflatable Habitat Blog
01.17.08 -- Get the cold, hard facts about setting up an inflatable lunar habitat in Antarctica straight from the frigid fingers of Larry Toups, habitat lead for NASA's Constellation Program Lunar Surface Systems Office, as he keeps an online journal of the process during January 2008.
Feature
Ulysses Spacecraft Flies Over Sun's North Pole
01.14.08 -- The Ulysses spacecraft made a rare flyby of the sun's north pole on Jan. 14, 2008. Unlike any other spacecraft, Ulysses is able to sample winds at the sun's poles, which are difficult to study from Earth.

Layered Ice Deposits Near North Pole of Mars
09.20.07 -- This false-color image of the north polar layered ice deposits on Mars taken on Sept. 20, 2007, by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been processed to emphasize color variations. Some of the color variations may be caused by small amounts of water frost on the surface, or they may be due to variations in dust composition within the layered deposits.
Feature
A Warm South Pole? Yes, on Neptune!
09.18.07 -- An international team of astronomers has discovered that Neptune's south pole is much hotter than the rest of the planet. They have published the first temperature maps of the lowest portion of Neptune's atmosphere, showing that its south pole is enabling methane to escape out of the deep atmosphere.
Feature
The Arctic Mars Analog Svalbard Expedition 2007
08.12.07 -- Scientists are conducting the Arctic Mars Analog Svalbard Expedition (AMASE) 2007 in Svalbard, Norway, from August 12-26, to study an extreme Mars-like environment using instruments and techniques that may be used for future planetary missions.
Release
NASA Spacecraft Heads for Polar Region on Mars
08.04.07 -- NASA's Phoenix Mars Mission blasted off August 4, 2007, aiming for a May 25, 2008, arrival at the Red Planet and a close-up examination of the surface of the northern polar region.
