Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket lifted off on the NS-31 mission with Katy Perry and five other women on April 14, for a suborbital spaceflight that left a deep and lasting impact on the entire crew.

Amanda Nguyen has become the first Vietnamese woman to fly to space; her spaceflight is a testament to her achievements as an accomplished scientist, and is also part of a larger story of healing as a survivor of sexual assault.

We've long known that black holes can produce powerful jets of ionized gas. These jets stream away from the black hole at nearly the speed of light. Jets produced by supermassive black holes are so powerful they are seen as quasars from billions of light-years away. But when you think about it, jets are a bit counterintuitive. Black holes trap and consume material through their tremendous gravity, so how can they push streams of material away? A recent study in Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan shows how it works.

Katy Perry just flew to suborbital space on a historic all-female flight with Blue Origin. The trip, though brief, changed her in significant ways the pop star said.

Star Wars Celebration is returning to Japan later this month, so here's a list of things we expect (and hope) to see addressed at the event.

This fantastic Pococo Galaxy Star Projector is user-friendly, delivers bright, high-resolution projections and rivals more expensive rivals for performance.

A flag flown to the moon, a cookie from Cookie Monster and a locket gifted by an actress are now all space artifacts, having briefly left the planet with pop star Katy Perry and five more women.

The universe could be packed with dark matter haloes that have no galaxy fillings.

You'll have to hurry though, as there are only nine days left to grab this Apple TV+ deal.

Skywatchers around the world turned their heads — and lenses to the skies to capture the beauty of April’s full Pink Moon — 2025's only micromoon.

Axiom Space will launch two orbiting data center nodes into low Earth orbit by the end of this year, as the first step in the development of off-Earth computing infrastructure.

At least three old satellites or rocket bodies fall to Earth every day, a new report reveals. Some experts think it's a worrying trend.

SpaceX broke its rocket-reuse record yet again early Monday (April 14), launching a batch of Starlink internet satellites atop a Falcon 9 rocket that flew for the 27th time.

Whether your views on climate change are informed by politics or science, it's getting harder to ignore it's effects on our lives down here on Earth. But a surprising study reports that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere could also be affecting the problem of space junk. As the heat energy stored in our atmosphere increases, its ability to scrub debris from Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) decreases, increasing the risk of satellite collisions and making it more likely that humanity could lose access to space entirely.
