United Launch Alliance's new Vulcan Centaur rocket will launch its first-ever national security mission on Aug. 12, if all goes according to plan.
Chinese scientists have developed a remarkable machine that could revolutionize how humans build structures on the Moon. The device works like a 3D printer powered by concentrated sunlight, turning lunar soil (known as regolith) into strong construction bricks without needing any materials from Earth.
The coming week offers a chance to see a close pass of the two brightest planets in the sky.
The evolution of Earth's atmosphere is a major area of study. It's primal atmosphere consisted of hydrogen and helium accumulated from the solar nebula. That atmosphere was lost to space, replaced by the products of volcanic outgassing and asteroid and comet impacts. Eventually, free oxygen accumulated and the planet's atmosphere began to appear more like the current atmosphere. That took billions of years.
Understanding the growth and evolution of galaxies is a critical part of cosmology. We know that massive galaxies like our own Milky Way grew over time by cannibalizing and merging with smaller satellite galaxies. That could be what's happening right now with the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, as they're being tidally disrupted by the Milky Way.
Interim NASA Administrator Sean Duffy says his plan to put a nuclear reactor on the moon is part of his plain to "get there first and claim that for America."
The only Crypto we care about is the mischievous extraterrestrial seeking world domination.
The four crewmembers of NASA's Artemis 2 mission donned their launch suits to conduct their first suited crew test together at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on July 31.
Thanks to groundbreaking models and the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists are poised to explore their mysterious evolution and reveal clues about planetary formation across the galaxy.
The incredibly detailed and stunning-looking Lego Marvel Infinity Gauntlet set has a massive 42% off at Amazon.
International oversight would reduce risks, but could be "a politically sensitive and contentious matter."
Thirteen years into its mission, NASA's Curiosity rover is still uncovering Martian mysteries while learning to do more with less.
Europe’s first MetOp Second Generation, MetOp-SG-A1, weather satellite – which hosts Copernicus Sentinel-5 as part of its instrument package – is set for liftoff on an Ariane 6 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on 13 August 2025 at 02:37 CEST (12 August 21:37 Kourou time).
The shooting star was part of the Perseid and Alpha Capricornids meteor showers.
ESA’s Hera mission has captured images of asteroids (1126) Otero and (18805) Kellyday. Though distant and faint, the early observations serve as both a successful instrument test and a demonstration of agile spacecraft operations that could prove useful for planetary defence.
The M4.4 solar flare unleashed a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space — and Earth might just receive a glancing blow.
Ingenuity marked a number of milestones in space exploration. Arguably most importantly, it proved that powered flight was possible on another planet. However, it did have some limitations, such as being tied to the Perseverance rover and there only being one copy of the helicopter itself. AV Inc, one of the sub-contractors for Ingenuity, hopes to fix those problems with a proposed new mission called Skyfall that would involve six helicopters and no rover.
Apple TV+'s absorbing sci-fi series intensifies as our heroes enter the alien mothership starting Aug. 22.
The caldera may have blasted out its cryomagma in a single explosive event, or it may have spread its eruptions over time.
In its latest postcard from Mars, the European Space Agency’s Mars Express returns to Acheron Fossae: a dramatic network of chasms carved into the surface of the Red Planet.
We live in an age of exoplanet discovery, and have discovered several thousand planets orbiting distant stars. These discoveries hold important lessons about planetary formation and solar system architecture. But we're also discovering a growing number of rogue planets, also called free-floating planets. These planets aren't gravitationally bound to any star. What can they teach us?
