Future lunar robots could fetch incredible science by borrowing from thousands of years of dog evolution. These companions can dig, jump and flip items over on the moon.

Astronomers watched in awe as binary asteroid Didymos brightened up immediately after the impact of NASA's DART mission on Monday (Sept. 26).

It could probably go without saying, but for the record, the space shuttle mission shown on "Quantum Leap" did not happen. The episode "Atlantis" had Ben Song leap into the body of an astronaut.

NASA is working on a blueprint to guide space exploration and infrastructure for the moon, Mars and to destinations across our solar system.

The knowledge that we're not alone in the universe could have far-reaching effects on our view of ourselves and our place in the universe. But it's tough to get more specific than that.

Cameras aboard the International Space Station are providing a birds-eye view of Hurricane Ian as it churns northward toward Florida.

DART may have completed its journey, but the work is only just starting for scientists as they set about learning how much the asteroid Dimorphos was deflected by its impact.

Telescopes here on Earth captured the DART asteroid probe's spectacular deep-space death.

New JunoCam 3D renders of Jupiter's cloud tops look like a magical fairyland.

Artemis 1 is headed for Kennedy Space Center's huge Vehicle Assembly Building, where it will be safe from Hurricane Ian, should the storm's lash fall on Florida's Atlantic coast.

In NASA's galactic game of pinball, Didymos is the jackpot.

It's rare for spacecraft mission personnel to cheer at the words "loss of signal," but tonight, that's exactly what happened.

NASA's DART spacecraft is no more, but its final view is incredible.

For the first time in history, a spacecraft from Earth has crashed into an asteroid to test a way to save our planet from extinction.

SpaceX's Crew-5 astronaut mission for NASA remains on target to launch next week, provided Mother Nature cooperates.

It will take days to weeks for astronomers to confirm whether or not NASA's asteroid smasher DART changed the orbit of its target, asteroid Dimorphos.

Something in space shuttle history needs changing. Or that seems to be case in the episode "Atlantis" of "Quantum Leap," which finds Ben Song headed into orbit on the space shuttle Atlantis.

SpaceX's launch of 52 more Starlink satellites was visible all along the East Coast of the United States, generating footage of Saturday's sunset launch.

NASA will slam the DART spacecraft into an asteroid for target practice to get ready for the next big hit, but don't worry: nothing big is set to come at us for the next 100 years.

The massive United Launch Alliance Delta IV rocket put on a show in its last flight from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The DART spacecraft's tiny companion is ready to photograph a brand-new impact site Monday night (Sept. 26).
