Chemistry World December 7, 2012 James Urquhart	Curiosity detect hints of complex organics Nasa's Curiosity rover has detected a range of chemical species including chlorinated hydrocarbons on the surface of Mars -- indicators that point to the presence of complex organic molecules.
IEEE Spectrum December 2012 Toth & Turyshev	Finding the Source of the Pioneer Anomaly Thirty years ago, the first spacecraft sent to explore the outer solar system started slowing unexpectedly. Now we finally know what happened
Chemistry World November 29, 2012 Jon Evans	Messenger spots Mercury performing organic chemistry Nasa's Messenger spacecraft has uncovered evidence that not only does water ice exist on the surface of the planet Mercury, but in many places this ice appears to be covered in a 10cm-thick layer of soot-like organic material.
