The galaxy 9io9 is seen as it was when the cosmos was just 2.5 billion years old, making this the earliest galactic magnetic field ever observed.
ISS inhabitants sleep strapped to the wall and experience 16 sunrises a day.
"Enormous amounts of matter, similar to cosmic cannonballs, are launched into space within a very brief time span."
Soft landing achieved.
The James Webb Space Telescope has been used to observe Earendel, the most distant star ever detected.
NASA's Artemis 3 mission, set to return humans to the Moon in 2025, might not involve a crewed landing after all, an official said Tuesday.
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.
Newly discovered fast magnetic waves might explain why the sun's corona is so hot.
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.
Non-existent NASA warnings about a months-long global internet shutdown triggered by a major solar storm in 2025 began circulating online recently.
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.
Details of a potential US-Indian partnership in human spaceflight remain murky.
Stars are thought to form within enormous filaments of molecular gas. Regions where one or more of these filaments meet, known as hubs, are where massive stars form....
Since the gravitational waves predicted by Einstein were first detected in 2015, astrophysicists have been pondering the gravitational wave background...
Work to develop a reusable engine for European rockets is progressing, with full ignition of an early prototype of Prometheus. These images were taken on 22 June 2023 at ArianeGroup’s test facility in Vernon, France during a 12-second burn.
Watch Mercury appear from the shadows as the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo spacecraft sped by the planet’s night side during its 19 June 2023 close flyby, and enjoy a special flyover of geologically rich terrain, along with a bonus 3D scene.
Stars this small shouldn't make planets this big.
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...
Queen’s researchers lead the discovery of two potential polar ring galaxies. A group of international astronomers, including researchers from Queen’s University, has identified two potential polar ring galaxies, according to results published on September 13 in the Monthly Notices of the Royal As
NASA astronaut Drew Feustel just joined to map its strategy.
Experts have ideas about what the cosmic question mark object spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope could be.
Researchers have used a "gravitational lens" to reveal distant galaxies. The snapshot could help astronomers better understand dark matter.
The three spacecraft will be unleashed on the moon with only high-level orders.
In a case study, scientists detected the costly infection in cabernet sauvignon grapevines before they showed symptoms visible to the human eye.
