An unusual tidal disruption event spotted by astronomers may be the result of an elusive intermediate mass black hole ripping apart a star.
Elon Musk isn't the first person to propose the use of mass drivers on the moon. He's following in the footsteps of space visionary Gerard O'Neill, who floated the idea back in 1974.
Should you buy a named-brand camera lens or go third-party?
The Milky Way's galactic center should be home to many pulsars, but for some reason, we can't find them. New research identified a candidate pulsar very near the MW's center. If it can be confirmed, it's a chance to test General Relativity.
This past weekend, ground crews at the Kennedy Space Center replaced a filter in the ground support equipment used for propellant loading. This filter was suspected of reducing the flow of liquid hydrogen into the Core Stage during the wet dress rehearsal of the *Artemis II* rocket on Feb. 12th. The test provided the engineers with enough data to prepare for a second wet dress rehearsal, which NASA is targeting for Thursday, Feb. 19th. This test will put the launch team and supporting teams through a full range of operations.
Io is the innermost of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, distinguished as the most volcanically active world in the Solar System. Its extreme geological activity is a direct result of the immense tidal forces exerted by Jupiter, Europa, and Ganymede.
A massive upheaval in the Saturnian system could have also led to the moon Hyperion.
Every planet in the Solar System is mysterious in its own way. How did Venus evolve into such a hellscape? Did Mars ever support life? How did life on Earth get started?
Here's how you can contribute to the science of astronomy.
"Gangsters. War criminals. We'll take out every bad guy in your deck of cards."
Grab your telescope and join us on a sightseeing tour, before the moon returns to spoil the fun!
As Predator: Badlands decloaks on streaming and physical media, we've sat down for a quick spoiler-filled chat with its director.
It’s an age-old debate in space circles: Should humanity’s first city on another world be built on the moon, or on Mars?
NASA will try again to fuel up its Artemis 2 moon rocket on Feb. 19. If all goes well, the crewed mission could launch as soon as March 6.
China's Shenzhou 21 crew rang in the Year of the Horse with an impressive celebration aboard the nation's Tiangong Space Station that included filming a music video.
Results are coming out from the samples returned by China’s Chang’e-6 sample return mission to the far side of the Moon. They offer our first close-up look at the geology and history of the far side, and a recent paper published in Science Advances from researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has very interesting insights about the impact history of the Moon itself, and even some for the solar system at large.
An annular eclipse swept over a remote corridor of Antarctica on Feb. 17.
Test your knowledge of Europe's boldest missions, brilliant spacecraft, and groundbreaking discoveries as you dive into a trivia challenge dedicated to the European Space Agency.
Earth’s river deltas, home to about 5% of the global population and some of the world’s major cities, are experiencing subsidence, which exacerbates the risks from sea-level rise. The Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission has captured a decade's worth of data showing land sinking faster than previously thought.
Using local resources will be key to any mission to either the Moon or Mars - in large part because of how expensive it is to bring those resources up from Earth to our newest outposts. But Mars in particular has one local resource that has long been thought of as a negative - perchlorates. These chemicals, which are toxic to almost all life, make up between 0.5-1% of Martian soil, and have long been thought to be a hindrance rather than a help to our colonization efforts for the new planet. But a new paper from researchers at the Indian Institute of Science and the University of Florida shows that, when making the bricks that will build the outpost, perchlorates actually help.
