The Artemis plan: Why NASA sees the moon as a stepping stone to Mars
NASA's Artemis program aims to return humans to the moon, in preparation for our eventual journey to Mars.
The moon's far side could offer a view of the universe even deeper than the James Webb Space Telescope
The potential science from future lunar missions stretches far beyond the moon.
Uranus will reverse its path in the sky on Wednesday (Aug 24). Here's how to see it
Uranus will reverse its eastward movement Wednesday (Aug. 24) and begin its westward path across the night sky.
RoboCop movies, ranked worst to best
Dead or alive, you're coming with us as we run down the RoboCop movies, ranked worst to best.
Drought causes Yangtze to shrink
Image: A record-breaking drought has caused parts of the Yangtze River to dry up – affecting hydropower, shipping routes and limiting drinking water supplies. Images captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission show a comparison of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers, near Chongqing, over the last three years.
CubeSats on Artemis 1 to pursue bold missions in deep space, if they overcome battery concerns

The 10 CubeSats hitching a ride to deep space on NASA’s Space Launch System moon rocket promise new discoveries about the moon, space weather, and asteroids. But some of the small spacecraft will launch with their batteries only partially charged after sitting inside the rocket for more than a year.
Samples From Asteroid Ryugu Contain Bits That Came From Outside the Solar System
Long before our Sun began to form, stars were dying in our part of the galaxy. One of them exploded as a supernova. The catastrophe created minute grains of dust and the force of the explosion blasted through a nearby cloud of gas and dust. That action seeded the cloud with “alien” materials from the dead star. The shock wave from the supernova also caused the cloud to collapse in on itself to create the Sun. The “leftovers” of the cloud became the planets, moons, rings, comets, and asteroids of our solar system.
Artemis 1 cubesats: The 10 tiny satellites hitching a NASA ride to the moon
The Artemis 1 mission will launch 10 revolutionary CubeSats into space with missions as varied as mapping water on the moon, assessing the risk of radiation to astronauts, and "drag-racing" past the moon.
Document supposedly written by Galileo is a fake
A document thought to have been handwritten by Galileo Galilei is in fact a 20th-century fake.
Intense solar storms leave Intelsat's Galaxy 15 satellite out of control: report
International satellite services firm Intelsat has lost control of one of its broadcast satellites after it was presumably disabled by space weather.
Perseverance Mars rover sets sights on 'Enchanted Lake'
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover is heading back to an enchanting outcrop of sedimentary rocks the spacecraft first visited back in April.
NASA's Ingenuity helicopter makes 30th Martian flight
The Mars helicopter Ingenuity took to the skies on Saturday (Aug. 20) for the first time in more than two months, acing a short hop that was its 30th overall Red Planet sortie.
Gaze Into the Heart of NGC 1365, Captured by Webb
Astrophotographer Judy Schmidt (aka. Geckzilla, SpaceGeck) is at it again! Earlier this month, she released a processed image of the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy (NGC 1365). The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently observed this iconic double-barred spiral galaxy, which resulted in the most-detailed look at this galaxy to date. This time, Schmidt shared a series of images via Twitter that provide a closer look at NGC 1365’s core region, a widefield view that shows the galaxy’s long arms, and lovely animation that shows the galaxy in near- and mid-infrared wavelengths.
Fast-growing sunspot may threaten Earth with flares and eruptions
A once-tiny spot on the sun's surface grew over the weekend to the size of Earth. It may end up launching some flares and solar eruptions our way.
A month on 'Mars': A Kinder, Gentler Mars
While places like the Haughton-Mars Project do not perfectly model the soil chemistry, intense radiation, lower gravity, or thin atmosphere of Mars, there is still great value in the work done here.
Artemis 1 paves way for European tech and astronauts on the moon
The Artemis program may see the first European orbit the moon in 2025 and have European landers touch down on Earth's companion in early 2030s.

European space officials have hailed the importance of NASA’s upcoming inaugural Artemis mission and the vital role ESA is playing in supporting a return to the moon.
Firefly, Northrop Grumman to Redesign Antares
Northrop Grumman will partner with startup Firefly Aerospace to continue sending cargo to the International Space Station.
No, NASA's massive Saturn V rocket didn't melt concrete with sound or set fires a mile away
Researchers used computer models to estimate the rocket's acoustic levels, determining they were not high enough to cause such damage.
