Two Chinese rocket launches hours apart Friday successfully deployed a radio and TV broadcasting spacecraft and an atmospheric environmental monitoring satellite.
Two cosmonauts began installing a new robotic arm outside of the International Space Station, completing the first in a series of spacewalks needed to activate the European-built remote manipulator.
The astronauts set to launch aboard the SpaceX Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station have arrived in Florida ahead of their planned April 23 liftoff.
NASA will roll its Artemis 1 moon rocket off the launch pad early next week, if all goes according to plan.
There are several ways we can measure the progress of human civilization. Population growth, the rise and fall of empires, our technological ability to reach for the stars. But one simple measure is to calculate the amount of energy humans use at any given time. As humanity has spread and advanced, our ability to harness energy is one of our most useful skills. If one assumes civilizations on other planets might possess similar skills, the energy consumption of a species is a good rough measure of its technological prowess. This is the idea behind the Kardashev Scale.
In 2021, a team of hologram doctors was "holoported" to space to visit astronauts living aboard the International Space Station, NASA has revealed.
In this series we are exploring the weird and wonderful world of astronomy jargon! You’ll see a glimmer of light with today’s topic: Zodiacal Light!
Strong solar activity generated green glowing auroras over Alaska, as one photographer witnessed April 11 from Trapper Creek.
Titan Comics heads back to the neo-noir future with a "Blade Runner: Black Lotus" sequel
NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) has been having some problems getting tested since it rolled out onto launch pad 39B last month. These tests, called wet dress rehearsals, are used to find any problems with loading the propellant and verify that all of the rocket’s systems are able to handle it being exposed to cryogenics.
The dust buildup on the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's InSight Mars lander is severe enough to see from orbit.
The South Pole-Aitken Basin on the Moon formed from a gigantic impact about 4.3 billion years ago. But that impact may have changed everything about the Moon, and explain why the lunar farside looks so different from the nearside, the side we see from Earth.
A powerful new photo shows Artemis 1 on the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, backdropped by its destination: the moon, shining in pink.
Two Russian cosmonauts will take a spacewalk outside the International Space Station today (April 18) and you'll be able to watch it live online.
China launched two rockets in six hours Friday during a busy day that also included the successful astronaut landing.
Telescopes that observe the universe in the most energetic form of light may help scientists detect the "fingerprints" of gravitational waves, new research reveals.
The Babylonians may have first started applying mathematics to scientific study nearly 3,000 years ago to discover the pattern underlying eclipses, nearly 3,000 years ago.
A new study has revealed that the imbalance of craters seen on the nearside and far side of the moon is the result of disruption to the moon's mantle caused by a massive collision around 4.3 billion years ago.
On February 14th, 2020, the SETI Insitute and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) announced a new partnership, which they appropriately named the Commensal Open-Source Multimode Interferometer Cluster Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (COSMIC SETI). This partnership will allow the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) to participate in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) for the first time in its history.
