One year ago today, Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft docked with the International Space Station to begin its long-awaited Crew Flight Test with NASA astronauts Sunita “Suni” Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore onboard.
In this series we are exploring NASA's top five challenges as detailed in its Civil Space Shortfall Ranking, which is basically NASA's Christmas wish list. These are the technologies that NASA believes we need to develop if we want to go to space…and stay there.
Sen. Ted Cruz's newly unveiled legislative directives for Senate Republicans’ budget reconciliation bill would dedicate almost $10 billion to win the new space race with China.
With the federal government cutting funds for research, scientific organizations are facing a budget crunch. This includes astrophysics and cosmology, where researchers test theories fundamental to our understanding of the Universe. A good example is the search for Dark Matter (DM), which usually consists of smashing protons in particle accelerators to find evidence of this elusive particle. According to a recent study that appeared in the Physical Review Letters, black holes could represent a cheaper, natural alternative.
The sharpest images ever captured of the sun reveal intricate magnetic structures dancing across its surface.
These are the best beginner binoculars you can buy in every category, from the best overall and the best for stargazing to the best budget model.
The solar system's largest and smallest planets will greet one another in the eastern sky.
The Mars Express probe captured a striking new view of a Martian crater that holds clues to the planet's dynamic history spanning billions of years.
The vast, seemingly empty spaces between galaxies are not entirely empty. So what's in these cosmic voids?
The second big batch of Amazon's Project Kuiper internet satellites will launch next Friday (June 13) from Florida, if all goes to plan.
The monster black hole lurking at the center of galaxy M87 is an absolute beast. It is one of the largest in our vicinity and was the ideal first target for the Event Horizon Telescope. Scientists have taken a fresh look at the supermassive black hole using those iconic Event Horizon Telescope images and have now figured out just how fast this monster is spinning and how much material it's devouring.
The Pococo Galaxy Star Projector is currently 28% off and will arrive in time for Father's Day — and you can get its lowest-ever price before Prime Day too.
The latest Predator movie – the series’ first foray into animation – is much more than a quick retread of old ideas in three distant settings.
Japan's private space company ispace experienced another setback on Thursday 5th June when its Resilience lunar lander crashed into the surface of the Moon, marking the company's second consecutive failed landing attempt in just over two years.
With 10 times the mass of our planet, and spending only part of its orbit in the habitable zone, Kepler-725c is very different to Earth.
NASA's Perseverance rover regularly images a Sherlock Holmes–themed maze to calibrate its chemical-hunting SHERLOC instrument.
