NASA's Webb telescope spotted an active supermassive black hole that existed 570 million years after the Big Bang. That's really early.

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....

It's been one year since we saw the first official images taken by the groundbreaking James Webb Space Telescope....

A pulsar timing array found evidence of gravitational waves, but the results don't exactly match predictions. This opens the possibility of evidence for new physics...

India's Chandrayan-3 mission has nailed its lunar landing.

"This is now becoming so real."

The Solar System is a fairly tidy place.

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.

The mission’s rover is roving and its sensors are sensing.

We have no explanations for this sort of slow repeat.

The Magellanic stream is a cloud of dust and gas that wraps around our galaxy. It has long been thought to host stars, but they have never been seen until now

Modern solar panels can harness not just ultraviolet light, but also visible and in some cases infrared. But all of these designs are built to harness the sun, which gives off most of its light in the green range and emits plenty of ultraviolet light. But most exoplanets orbit red dwarf stars, which have a peak brightness in the...

Astronomers using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have identified carbon dioxide in a specific region on the icy surface of Jupiters moon Europa.

Expedition 69 crew members on the ISS marked a busy week with cleaning, maintenance, and experiments. Frank Rubio, Sergey Prokopyev, and Dmitri Petelin celebrated a year in space, while others contributed to diverse tasks and scientific investigations.

Scientists have discovered that cosmic structures grow slower than Einstein's Theory of General Relativity predicts, with dark energy playing a more dominant inhibitory role than previously thought. This finding may reshape our understanding of dark matter, dark energy, and fundamental cosmic theori

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.

NASA took a significant step Tuesday toward allowing humans on the moon to “live off the land,” awarding several contracts to build landing pads, roads and habitats on the lunar surface, use nuclear power for energy, and even lay a high-voltage power line over half a mile....

An annular solar eclipse, also known as a “ring of fire” eclipse because of the way the sun and moon line up, will be visible in the US, Central America and South America on 14 October...

The sun’s outer atmosphere is vastly hotter than its surface. Scientists may be close to figuring out why.

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.

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

White holes are mathematically possible, according to general relativity. But does that mean they're actually out there?
