Satellite observations show that sea-surface temperatures over the past four decades have been getting warmer at an accelerated pace.

Using the Hubble and Gaia space telescopes, astronomers have discovered that a powerfully magnetic neutron star in the Milky Way wasn't born in a supernova.

"The next set of solar cycles will be more active."

If you're planning to stay in this Easter or you need to entertain guests, I recommend getting Apple TV Plus for just $2.99 a month. It's rarely ever this cheap.

AI can bridge the growing gap between new and old solar observations and help scientists uncover overlooked aspects of our star's long-term evolution, a new study argues.

The solar eruption set Earth's skies ablaze, with vibrant auroras visible across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Here's how and where to see the Lyrid meteor shower in 2025, which is active between April 16-25 and peaks on April 22.

A fog of long-wavelength infrared light could be produced by dusty, star-forming galaxies that have remained hidden — until now, that is.

Registrations are now open for the European Space Agency’s Living Planet Symposium (LPS) – one of the largest Earth observation conferences in the world. The event will take place on 23–27 June 2025 in Vienna, Austria.

The militaries of the U.S. and the U.K. have selected Rocket Lab as a potential partner for their multibillion-dollar programs to develop hypersonic technology.

A Minotaur IV rocket sent multiple classified payloads skyward for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base on Wednesday (April 16).

Gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful events in the Universe, briefly outshining the combined light of their entire galaxies. A team of astronomers has figured out a clever technique to use the light from gamma-ray bursts to map out the large-scale structure of the Universe at different ages after the Big Bang. They found that the Universe might be less uniform at large scales than previously thought.

In response to reports of the Trump administration aiming to slash NASA's 2026 science budget by nearly half, US Planetary Science Caucus co-chairs have expressed their alarm.

NASA's next moon rocket is stacking higher and higher at the Kennedy Space Center, as the SLS stage adapter and interim cryogenic propulsion stage arrive in the VAB.

An anomaly has forced the Japanese asteroid-sampling spacecraft Hayabusa2 into protective "safe mode" while journeying through deep space on its extended mission.

One of the first two modules that will form NASA's Gateway platform in orbit around the moon has arrived at its last stop before the launch site.

The dream of finding life on an alien Earth-like world is hampered by a number of technical challenges. Not the least of which is that Earth is dwarfed by the size and brightness of the Sun. We might be able to discover evidence of life by studying the molecular spectra of a planet's atmosphere as it passes in front of the star, but those results might be inconclusive. The way to be certain is to observe the planet directly, but that would take a space telescope with a mirror 3–4 times that of Webb.

How can astronomers pierce through the interstellar fog of the Milky Way – not to study distant objects, but to understand the fog itself? It just takes a little light.

Astronomers have discovered the weirdest planetary system ever seen, consisting of a planet rolling around rare binary "failed star" brown dwarfs at a 90-degree tilted angle!

Scientists have developed a cosmic car radio that could tune into the frequency of axions, a prime dark matter suspect.

Netflix's award-winning dystopian anthology from twisted British creator Charlie Brooker is back!
