Jim Lovell, commander of NASA's Apollo 13 moon mission, dies at 97
NASA astronaut Jim Lovell — a veteran of four spaceflights, including Apollo 8 and the near-disastrous Apollo 13 —passed away on Aug. 7, 2025 at the age of 97.
Black Holes
Black holes are among the most enigmatic and fascinating objects in the universe. These regions of spacetime exhibit such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside them. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.
'A Quiet Place Part III' is confirmed for 2027 with John Krasinski back in the director's chair
Paramount’s hit sci-fi horror franchise returns in 2027 with more ultrasonic alien invaders.
Spacecraft headed to DART asteroid crash site images 2 faint space rocks to boost planetary defense tactics
The techniques used to target the asteroids could also be employed in tracking hazardous asteroids and interstellar objects.
Satellites watch France's largest wildfire in 75 years burn an area larger than Paris
Satellite images revealed the scope of destruction in the south of France where an area larger than the country's capital Paris has been turned into ashes by a massive wildfire.
Scientists find oldest-known black hole in the universe: 'This is about as far back as you can practically go'
A newfound supermassive black hole from the dawn of the universe challenges how early cosmic giants formed.
This White Dwarf Merged With Another Star To Form An Ultra-Massive White Dwarf
White dwarfs are remnants of main sequence stars like our Sun that have depleted their hydrogen. Their lives of fusion have come to an end, and they'll simmer with residual heat for trillions of years. Their lifespans are longer than the current age of the Universe.
What would Mars look like under an Earth-like blue sky? NASA's Perseverance rover just showed us
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover captured a breathtaking panorama of the Red Planet surface depicted in false-color under a blue sky.

Will the bright moon ruin the Perseid meteor shower, or is it still worth watching?
While moonlight might steal the spotlight, it won't steal the Perseids' show.

Is Mining Asteroids That Impacted The Moon Moon Easier Than Mining Asteroids Themselves?
The resources tucked away in asteroids promise to provide the building blocks of humanity’s expansion into space. However, accessing those resources can prove tricky. There’s the engineering challenge of landing a spacecraft on one of the low-gravity targets and essentially dismantling it while still remaining attached to it. But there’s also a challenge in finding ones that make economic sense to do that to, both in terms of the amount of material they contain as well as the ease of getting to them from Earth. A much easier solution might be right under our noses, according to a new paper from Jayanth Chennamangalam and his co-authors - mine the remnants of asteroids that hit the Moon.
