The Euclid telescope, just launched today, will be able to observe galaxies out to 10 billion light-years. Here's the largest map I could find (1 billion light years) that includes the Milky Way, Laniakea, the Shapley supercluster, the Perseus–Pisces supercluster, and the South Pole Wall....
"This is now becoming so real."
Let’s not send a few thousand people to Mars as a big experiment in survival....
NASA's Webb telescope spotted an active supermassive black hole that existed 570 million years after the Big Bang. That's really early.
White holes are mathematically possible, according to general relativity. But does that mean they're actually out there?
I would choose Mars, mostly because of all the plans that we have for it. Imagine having people actually living there, it sounds insane!
The first world that humans should inhabit beyond the Earth is the Moon, not Mars. Here's how to terraform our lunar neighbor.
It's a destructive setback with potential ramifications for the company's customer United Launch Alliance as well as Blue Origin's own rocket New Glenn....
A study published this week in an astronomical journal suggests our universe could be 26.7 billion years old, or about twice as old as we thought.
Using nuclear fusion, Pulsar's rocket could dramatically increase travel speeds, aiming for tests by 2025 and fusion temperatures by 2027.
India has launched its Chandrayaan-3 mission, which aims to explore the south pole of the moon by rover, completing a scientific mission that was first attempted in 2019 but ended in catastrophic failure due to a software glitch...
How humanity responds to the first contact with intelligent alien life could determine the very fate of our species.
We have no explanations for this sort of slow repeat.
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station have achieved a 98% water recovery rate in a breakthrough achieved by a method that might make the faint of heart slightly squeamish: they hit peak astronaut pee recycling....
NASA's Juno spacecraft, which has been probing Jupiter since 2016, captured the moment lightning crackled in the gas giant's stormy atmosphere at its north pole.
The James Webb Space Telescope detected water vapor swirling around a planetary system 370 light-years away.
NASA has predicted that a double solar storm attack will strike the Earth around 5:30 PM today, July 7. Know just how intense it can be and what to expect.
Watch the European satellite, called Euclid, soar to space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Florida's Space Coast. The launch took place today, July 1, at 11:11 a.m EDT.
'Wave goodbye to it. Rest in peace.'
A pair of astrophysicists, one with Kindai University, the other the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, both in Japan, have found possible evidence of an Earth-like planet residing in the Kuiper Belt. In their paper published in The Astronomical Journal, Patryk Sofia Lykawka and Takashi Ito describe properties of the...
There's a lot of trash on the moon right now—including nearly 100 bags of human waste—and with countries around the globe traveling to the moon, there's going to be a lot more, both on the lunar surface and in Earth's orbit.
Russia’s Luna-25 mission ended in failure after crashing into the moon, space agency Roscosmos has announced.
July's supermoon will appear full for up to three days, according to NASA. Known as a Buck Moon, it will be closer than normal in its orbit around the Earth. This is because the Moon's orbit is not a perfect circle due to the Earth's gravitational pull; instead it is elliptical, like an elongated circle or oval. Because of this,...
China is the latest nation to study lunar lava tubes as locations for bases. They provide natural protection that's impossible to ignore.
Astronomers have spotted a gigantic void they believe to be a baryon acoustic oscillation — a relic from when the universe was a fiery plasma soup
