Update March 22, 11:54 a.m. EDT (1554 UTC): SpaceX confirms deployment of the 29 Starlink satellites.
The Pleiades is a 1,000-strong open star cluster in the constellation Taurus.
We're just scratching the surface of what the innovative collaboration between human astronomers and AI can unlock.
Proposed constellations of orbiting mirrors and data centers would completely destroy the night sky as humanity has known it for millions of years, experts say.
NASA and the China National Space Agency (CNSA) plan to send astronauts to Mars as early as the next decade. Naturally, this ambitious goal requires a great deal of planning, research, and the anticipation and preparation for all potential challenges in advance. Among them, astronaut health and safety are paramount. In addition to the hazards associated with the long transit times - radiation and the effects of long periods in microgravity - there's the issue of Mars itself. Aside from exposure to elevated radiation levels, Martian gravity is about 38% of Earth's.
Russia's Progress 94 cargo spacecraft did not deploy one of its docking antennas as planned after launching toward the ISS on Sunday (March 22), complicating plans for its arrival.
A brand new feature-length documentary showcases the inspirational accomplishments of pioneering astronaut Eileen Collins.
On Episode 202 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik are joined by Mike Wall, the spaceflight and tech editor at Space.com, to bring us up to date on all the latest Artemis news.
As moon missions accelerate, countries are working to define how to respond to emergencies and avoid interference between competing operations.
Extreme exomoons with tidal heating and thick, hydrogen-rich atmospheres may be able to create billions of years of potentially habitable surface conditions.
The latest Starship Troopers video game knows where its strengths lie and packs a couple of neat twists that set it apart from its predecessors.
You just established a settlement on an Earth-like planetary body far from our solar system. You did your evening chores after eating dinner, and you want to go out for the evening view, which consists of two setting stars, reminiscent of the infamous scene in Star Wars. However, there’s one major difference: a large planetary body is in the sky. As you were aware before arriving, you’re on an exomoon orbiting a Saturn-sized exoplanet, both of which orbits two stars.
Binary stars are known to transfer mass to one another. In extreme cases, mass transfer can even cause a supernova explosion. That happens when a white dwarf draws matter from a companion.
Astronomers have found four new moons orbiting Jupiter and 11 new moons around Saturn.
The U.S. Space Force has swapped rockets for an upcoming GPS satellite launch, moving to a SpaceX Falcon 9 while the investigation into an anomaly with ULA's Vulcan Centaur continues.
Has Project Hail Mary left you craving more of Andy Weir's work? We've rounded up the best of Andy Weir's sci-fi books, from The Martian to Artemis.
The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System. The name "Milky Way" comes from its appearance as a dim glowing band arching across the night sky, in which the unaided eye cannot distinguish individual stars.
There are some strange types of exoplanets out there with no counterparts in our Solar System. One of those types is super-puff planets. These oddballs have radii larger than Neptune, but only have a few Earth masses. This means they have large volumes and low density. How this peculiar type of exoplanet forms is unclear, and current models of gas giant formation can't account for them.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a rare cosmic moment: a comet breaking apart in real time.
Auroras may be visible from Alaska to Illinois tonight and over the weekend as several coronal mass ejections and fast solar wind impact Earth.
