   Pandora, NASA’s newest exoplanet mission, is one step closer to launch with the completion of the spacecraft bus, which provides the structure, power and other systems that will allow the mission to carry out its work. Pandora’s exoplanet science working group is led by the University of Arizona,...

   Blue Origin launched its massive new rocket on its first test flight Thursday, sending up a prototype satellite to orbit thousands of miles above Earth.

   One of NASA’s two stuck astronauts got a much welcomed change of scenery Thursday, stepping out on her first spacewalk since arriving at the International Space Station more than seven months ago.

   The first vertical launch of a rocket into orbit from European soil could take place from the UK’s most northerly point this year after a German company won approval for spaceflight, regulators announced Thursday.

   Astronomers have made new discoveries about young star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud LMC , using the James Webb Space Telescope JWST , along with observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter submillimeter Array ALMA . The study, published in The Astrophysical Journal, gives new...

   Using the Cerro Tololo Inter American Observatory CTIO , an international team of astronomers have performed deep optical observations of a dwarf galaxy known as NGC . As a result, they detected a stellar stream, shells and a globular cluster in the halo of this galaxy. Their findings were...

   In a two for one moonshot, SpaceX launched a pair of lunar landers Wednesday for U.S. and Japanese companies looking to jumpstart business on Earth’s dusty sidekick.

   India docked two satellites in space Thursday, a key milestone for the country’s dreams of a space station and a manned moon mission, the space agency said.

   Blue Origin, the space company founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, launched its massive New Glenn rocket into orbit for the first time early Thursday, marking a new step in the commercial space race.

   An international team led by astronomers at Leiden University has shown in laboratory experiments that sulfur can bind with ammonium under icy cosmic conditions and form a salt that sticks to dust and pebbles. The resulting sulfur salt not only helps to explain the mystery of the missing sulfur gas...

   Water is the essence of life. Every living thing on Earth contains water within it. The Earth is rich with life because it is rich with water. This fundamental connection between water and life is partly due to water’s extraordinary properties, but part of it is due to the fact that water is one of...

   A tiny asteroid loitering in a near Earth orbit for a few months last year may have an intriguing origin on our moon. Its characteristics led scientists to ask: is it a chip off the old lunar block, making a pass by Earth for a visit

   Elon Musk’s SpaceX on Wednesday pushed back its latest orbital flight test of Starship, the colossal prototype rocket the company hopes will help humans colonize Mars.

   For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares intense bursts of light on the sun that can send a flurry of charged particles into the solar system. Now, using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, one team has identified flickering loops in the solar atmosphere corona ...

   Researchers have discovered two sets of ancient wave ripples on Mars, signatures of long dried bodies of water preserved in the rock record. Wave ripples are small undulations in the sandy shores of lakebeds, created as wind driven water laps back and forth. The two sets of ripples indicate the...

   Hot on the heels of a spectacular comet late last year, another celestial visitor is set to put on a show. And Southern Hemisphere observers have a ringside seat.

   For humans, the most important star in the universe is our sun. The second most important star is nestled inside the Andromeda galaxy. Don’t go looking for it the flickering star is . million light years away, and is , th the brightness of the faintest star visible to the human eye.

   When some of the biggest stars reach the end of their lives, they explode in spectacular supernovas and leave behind incredibly dense cores called neutron stars. Some of these remnants emit powerful radio beams from their magnetic poles.

   By combining data from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys and the Gemini South telescope, astronomers have investigated three ultra faint dwarf galaxies that reside in a region of space isolated from the environmental influence of larger objects. The galaxies, located in the direction of NGC , were...

   Astronomers have unveiled an explosive cosmic fireworks display of stars interacting with their environment. This dazzling spectacle due to powerful winds flowing from the stars marks a major milestone in the ability to study the formation of the largest stars and to better understand how they...

   Researchers from the University of Connecticut have created the first D maps of star forming gas clouds in one of the most extreme environments in our galaxy, and have studied previous flaring events from our galaxy’s supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A Sgr A .

   An international team of scientists has produced the clearest three dimensional view yet of the Ring Nebula one of the night sky’s most iconic celestial objects.

   Last night, a crucial step in the European Space Agency’s eclipse making Proba mission was completed: the two spacecraft, flying jointly since launch, have successfully separated. This leaves them ready to begin their cosmic dance in the world’s first ever precision formation flying mission.
