The Mars helicopter Ingenuity took to the skies on Saturday (Aug. 20) for the first time in more than two months, acing a short hop that was its 30th overall Red Planet sortie.

A once-tiny spot on the sun's surface grew over the weekend to the size of Earth. It may end up launching some flares and solar eruptions our way.

While places like the Haughton-Mars Project do not perfectly model the soil chemistry, intense radiation, lower gravity, or thin atmosphere of Mars, there is still great value in the work done here.

The Artemis program may see the first European orbit the moon in 2025 and have European landers touch down on Earth's companion in early 2030s.

Researchers used computer models to estimate the rocket's acoustic levels, determining they were not high enough to cause such damage.

Voyager 1 is the first spacecraft to travel beyond the solar system and enter interstellar space. The probe is still exploring the cosmos to this day.

That's a saving of over $35/£35 per month and gives you access to top apps including Photoshop, Premiere Pro and more.

New to image processing? Citizen scientist Judy Schmidt guides Space.com through the basics of creating a spectacular image from raw telescope data.

Lagrange found that the difference between an object's kinetic energy and potential energy unlocked something deeply profound about the universe.

With NASA's return to the moon with Artemis moving ever closer, lunar scientists look forward to the possibilities for science.

The Artemis mission will soon usher in the next era of space exploration, carrying humans back to the moon and then beyond thanks to the most powerful rocket ever built, the Space Launch System.

The Galileo Project is the first systematic scientific research program in a search for artifacts or remnants of extraterrestrial technological civilizations.

The Orion spacecraft will carry humans further into space than they have ever journeyed before in a series of increasingly challenging missions.

NASA has cleared its Artemis 1 mission to launch an uncrewed test flight around the moon on Aug. 29.

Impressive infrared images of Jupiter's auroras were processed by citizen scientist Judy Schmidt.

Scientists hope CuSP will pave the way for a network of weather stations in interplanetary space.

One hypothesis for the nature of dark matter is that some of it could be self-interacting, meaning the individual particles interact slightly with one another.

For 400 years sunspots have been used to measure the sun's cycle, but a newly suggested 'circle of fifths' system could predict dangerous and violent solar events years in advance.

A tiny robot known as MIRA will be blasting off to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2024 to perform simulated surgical procedures in microgravity.

The reason stars forming in very different regions of space come to have similar masses has puzzled astrophysicists for decades. Now, thanks to an advanced 3D stimulation, this mystery could be solved.

On Thursday Aug. 25 we will have an opportunity to catch sight of the two brightest objects in the night sky, Venus and the moon, engaged in a final morning dance.
