SpaceX launched of a batch of Starlink satellites on Tuesday, its first early-evening flight since the FAA lifted restrictions on commercial launches prompted by the government shutdown.
"Throwing a close companion into the mix could possibly wreak further havoc on the already complicated processes surrounding these stars."
NASA budget cuts proposed by President Donald Trump will cause a significant funding shortfall to Europe's space science missions. But the European Space Agency hopes it can save them.
Watch an Oort Cloud comet disintegrate before your eyes. Meanwhile, interstellar intruder 3I/ATLAS is brighter than expected.
Dive into the dazzling depths of the universe with this galaxy-themed trivia quiz that spans cosmic facts, mysterious phenomena, and the wild wonders of deep space.
These are the Lego sets you're looking for — The UCS Lego Star Wars sets, the best of the best, ranked in a definitive round-up.
This image shows Euclid's capability to explore both our cosmic neighborhood and the deep universe beyond.
All motion is relative. That simple fact makes tracking the motion of distant objects outside our galaxy particularly challenging. For example, there has been a debate among astronomers for decades about the path that one of our nearest neighbors, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), took over the last few billion years. A new paper from Scott Lucchini and Jiwon Jesse Han from the Harvard Center for Astrophysics grapples with that question by using a unique technique - the paths of hypervelocity stars.
Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity, may not be the best recipe to describe black holes.

The European Space Agency’s HydroGNSS, a twin-satellite mission to gather data on Earth’s water cycle, is scheduled to launch on 19 November at 19:18 CET (10:18 Pacific Time). Live coverage of the launch will be shown on ESA Web TV.
Let’s rewind the clock back…oh, I don’t know, let’s say a hundred years. It was 1917, and Einstein had just developed his general theory of relativity. It was a masterpiece, giving us our modern day view of the gravitational force. And like anybody curious about gravity, Einstein decided to apply his new equations to the evolution of the universe.
"Even though it's the first time we've seen a galaxy like this, we think that there could be many more out there."
The details of a supernova explosion are still clouded in mystery and subject to vigorous debate. What exactly happens when they explode? What underlying mechanisms are involved? New observations of a supernova with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope are removing some of the mystery.
The first post-Disney Star Wars game didn't reach the gameplay highs of the originals, but it took us to a galaxy far, far away in spectacular, and almost photorealistic fashion.
An AI-powered controller on an orbiting satellite executed real-world attitude adjustments in space, showing that AI can fly satellites autonomously.
Now that daytime launches can resume, expect SpaceX to pick up the pace of its Starlink launches.
Our search for exoplanets is focused on Milky Way stars. It's been successful, with more than 6,000 detected so far. Scientists are even beginning to move beyond mere detections, and working on characterizing other characteristics of these planets, especially their atmospheres.
At this rate, Starship will not be ready in time for NASA's schedule.
