ESA's asteroid defense mission, Hera, has been successfully assembled at OHB Bremen in Germany. Hera is complete. ESA’s asteroid mission for planetary defense was built and prepared in two halves, but now, through a painstaking operation, they have been mated together to make a single spacecraft,
NASA uses the International Space Station—a football field-sized spacecraft orbiting Earth—to learn more about living and working in space. For more than 20 years, the space station has provided a unique platform for investigation and research in areas like biology, technology, agriculture, and more. It serves as a home for...
"Enormous amounts of matter, similar to cosmic cannonballs, are launched into space within a very brief time span."
Researchers from the University of Arizona have found a youthful exoplanet that may shed light on this phenomenon and offer insights into how planets form. Illustrations of the Milky Way exhibit a spiraling design of "arms" loaded with stars that radiate from the center. Comparable formations are s
The mission’s rover is roving and its sensors are sensing.
Check out this Gamescon 2023 preview for the highlyanticipated open-world sci-fi extravaganza.
There are more than 5,000 confirmed exoplanets in our galaxy. That number is going to rise significantly in the next decade. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has already cataloged more than 4,000 candidate exoplanets, and the PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) is scheduled to launch in 2026.

The warning comes as the U.S. space economy is predicted to reach $1 trillion by 2030.
The Indian space agency is all set to land its probe, which was made at a fraction of the budget of recent Hollywood blockbusters, on the surface of the Moon, a task that has historically had a low success rate.
Lunar Trailblazer joins a growing list of probes and landers heading toward the moon to search for water ice.
Scisat tracks changes in the atmosphere that could 'delay the ozone recovery in a warming world.'
This could explain how supermassive black holes grew to have masses billions of times that of the sun so quickly in the early universe.
Four astronauts from four countries are on board a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.
Experts have ideas about what the cosmic question mark object spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope could be.
Astronomers have found planets that are twice as wide as Jupiter and more than 10 times as heavy, but there's a limit to how big planets can get.
Get ready stargazers: The Perseid meteor shower and a super blue moon are highly anticipated sights this August.
Asteroids, comets and meteorites are increasingly essential to scientists' understanding of our solar system.
