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....
Astronomers recently announced that they had discovered 62 new moons around the ringed planet Saturn and more are being added to the list. So, how have they lain hidden for so long?
SpaceX is filling in for ESA as European rockets face delays.
NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have observed for the first time the faint ripples caused by the motion of black holes that are gently stretching and squeezing everything in the universe....
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.
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?
Get ready stargazers: The Perseid meteor shower and a super blue moon are highly anticipated sights this August.
Io is a tortured place, teeming with lava.
Glowing green and gold, NGC 6822, could teach us a lot about the ancient, metal-poor universe.
It's almost like a stellar toddler sometimes gets into a bad mood and takes it out on a nearby stress ball.
Giant cliffs that encircle Olympus Mons formed when lava flowing down the volcano encountered deep water.
A Southwest Research Institute-led team has modeled the early impact history of Venus to explain how Earth's sister planet has maintained a youthful surface despite lacking plate tectonics. The team compared the early collision histories of the two bodies and determined that Venus likely experienced higher-speed, higher-energy...
Apollo 11 was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC, and Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface six hours and 39 minutes later, on July 21 at 02:56...
NASA's supersonic plane has moved closer to the runway in preparation for its debut flight.
"Sandwiched planet formation" may arise as the result of gas and dust being squeezed between large planets.
This is a journey into the scale of the galaxy we live in, the Milky Way -really well done video
The cold and mysterious Oort cloud at the edge of our solar system may be hiding a rogue planet
"Now, for the first time, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has produced an image of the Milky Way using neutrinos—tiny, ghostlike astronomical messengers. In an article to be published in the journal Science, the IceCube Collaboration, an international group of over 350 scientists, presents evidence of high-energy neutrino...
Stars this small shouldn't make planets this big.
