Upgrades to Kennedy Ground Systems near completion for Artemis II.

Everyone knows Neil Armstrong's first words from the Moon were "That's one small step for (a) man; one giant leap for mankind," but what about the other astronauts and later missions? I picked through transcripts of each mission to find out....

Stars this small shouldn't make planets this big.

Tiangong could now outlive the older, larger International Space Station.

In 2009 a giant star 25 times more massive than the sun simply vanished. OK, it wasn't quite that simple. It underwent a period of brightening, increasing in luminosity to a million suns, just as if it was ready to explode into a supernova. But then it faded rather than exploding. And when astronomers tried to see the star using...

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken a stunning image of a perfectly formed Einstein ring, which is also the most distant gravitationally lensed object ever detected.

ISS inhabitants sleep strapped to the wall and experience 16 sunrises a day.

New Giant Planet Is Evidence of Possible Planetary Collisions A Neptune-sized planet denser than steel has been discovered by an international team of astronomers, who believe its composition could be the result of a giant planetary clash. TOI-1853b's mass is almost twice that of any other similar

On October 14, 2023, the Americas will experience a partial solar eclipse, but from only eight U.S. states will it be possible to see the 'ring of fire' annular solar eclipse.

New research suggests the same conditions that created the cracks could have been favorable to the emergence of microscopic life. Scientists aren’t entirely sure how life began on Earth, but one prevailing theory posits that persistent cycles of wet and dry conditions on land helped assemble the

We once thought the Moon was completely airless, but it turns out it has an atmosphere, after all. Even wilder: it has a tail of its own.

Microgravity research and technology development on the ISS will continue "full throttle" through the end of 2030, the agency says.

One of the objects is a brown dwarf, which has a much more mass than a typical planet but isn't big enough to be a proper star.

Io is a tortured place, teeming with lava.

The European Space Agency's ambitious Euclid space telescope is on its way to decoding the secrets of dark matter and dark energy.

Second Quarter 2023 Transitioning 737 production to 38 per month; increased 787 production to four per month Revenue increased to $19.8 billion primarily reflecting 136 commercial deliveries...

While U.S. Space Force thus far has split National Security Space Launch (NSSL) between SpaceX and United Launch Alliance (ULA), the service plans to have one more provider by the end of NSSL Phase 3 to guarantee Space Force can reach high-priority orbits when needed.

Zhurong spotted telltale patterns in Martian dunes.

The first Artemis astronauts have begun crew training for their Artemis II mission around the Moon, and teams at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, are testing and configuring the flight software for the mega Moon rocket that will launch them on their journey.

Radioactive isotopes in meteorites suggest that a supernova erupted in the vicinity of the solar system as it was forming.

A new high-speed weather camera above Europe and Africa records the daily frenzy of lightning storms. Space-adjacent, so I thought it might fit here

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson will visit Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space venture to get a firsthand look at the Seattle area's space industry.
