The warning comes as the U.S. space economy is predicted to reach $1 trillion by 2030.

This could explain how supermassive black holes grew to have masses billions of times that of the sun so quickly in the early universe.

How humanity responds to the first contact with intelligent alien life could determine the very fate of our species.

Four astronauts from four countries are on board a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.

The company shared a handful of static-fire shots via social media on Tuesday (Aug. 8).

What is after space? – Pip, aged four, North Yorkshire, UK

Armed with this promising new tool, a cutting-edge observatory in Chile will sweep the cosmos for all sorts of transient objects.

On July 26, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft fired its engines for about 63 seconds to slightly thrust itself onto a course closer to Earth.

"This result does not fit in with the currently accepted cosmological models, which include dark matter."

New research led by Newcastle University and published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has revealed that supermassive black holes obscured by dust are more likely to grow and release tremendous amounts of energy when they are inside galaxies that are expected to collide with a neighboring galaxy.

Studying the hydrogen fingerprint from just after the Big Bang could allow researchers to kill 'two birds with one stone!'

You'll need to rule out human noise or other Earth-bound sources, which is to say eliminating the ‘confounders.' A control sample helps, too.

Tweet by Elon, this has big implications for HLS as it affects the number of refuelling flights needed.

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,...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Identifies Mechanism Driving the Sun’s Fast Wind Parker Solar Probe data has helped researchers understand how the sun's wind can reach speeds exceeding 1 million miles per hour. This could assist in predicting large solar eruptions, enhance our understanding of cosmic winds.

Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, in an inky abyss roughly a mile (1.6km) underwater, a curious black-and-silver beast is stirring up mud. With a spotted metallic body and wriggling umbilical of purple rope, to the region's own eccentric deep-sea fauna it might resemble a kind of rectangular stingray. This is the world's first...

A recent study published in Astrobiology examines the likelihood of the planet Venus being able to support life within the thick cloud layer that envelopes it. This study holds the potential to help us better understand how life could exist under the intense Venusian conditions, as discussions within the scientific community...

A Titanic-sized asteroid is slated to pass by Earth Saturday according to the Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which monitors the orbits of near-Earth objects for NASA....

Someone who seems to have a great deal of knowledge on European Space Launch companies....

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 Breakthrough Listen search for intelligent life is, to date, the most extensive technosignature search of nearby celestial objects. We present a radio technosignature search of the centers of 97 nearby galaxies, observed by Breakthrough Listen at the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. We performed a narrowband Doppler...

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

NASA's Lucy Spacecraft took images of asteroid Dinkinesh, discovering that the asteroid has the first-ever contact binary pair orbiting the asteroid.

The rare phenomenon illuminates skies across the north-east of England and parts of Scotland.
