The Earth and everything on it face an extinction-level event from some kind of alien that's been living on the moon.

Massive stars can produce twice as much carbon when they have a close binary companion, according to a new study. The result is a small but important step in understanding the cosmic origin of elements.

It's been a busy few days for our sun, which has produced three of the outbursts that scientists call coronal mass ejections since Monday (Nov. 1).

While NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has faced countless obstacles and delays in its more than decade in the making, the observatory's most difficult days lie ahead in the coming months.

A collection of the best timelapse videos made during ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet’s second mission to the International Space Station, “Alpha” in 2021. The camera is setup to take pictures at intervals of two a second, and the pictures are then edited into this video that plays at 25 pictures a second. Most videos around 12 times faster than real speed.

Satellites will play a key role in helping the world slash its methane emissions in line with the global pledge introduced by the U.S. President Joe Biden at the COP26 climate change conference.

There are a few good theories for a multiverse — an infinite number of parallel universes besides our own.

In the first 20 years of reaching the atmosphere, methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide. Reducing emissions of this extremely potent gas is, therefore, one of the fastest ways of slowing the rate of global warming, at least in the short term – and at COP26, more than 100 countries have just signed up to the Global Methane Pledge, which aims to limit emissions by 30% compared with 2020 levels.

Honda began working on the rocket in late 2019 and already has some serious hardware to show for it — a brand-new engine.

Asteroid 2021 UA1, a space rock about the size of a refrigerator, made a surprise appearance when it recently flew past Earth.

Researchers have watched a mysterious fast radio burst shoot out energy far more times than they thought was possible.

The idea of harvesting solar energy via power-beaming satellites has long intrigued researchers — and recent advances may help make it a reality relatively soon.

Making a Red Planet simulation as realistic as possible is key to The Mars Society's research. Crews can accomplish this, but not with constant outside interference.

For more than 30 years, one Texas family has shown their support for NASA mission control with a simple gesture: sending flowers.

As world leaders and decision-makers join forces at COP26 to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement, new research, again, highlights the value of satellite data in understanding and monitoring climate change. This particular new research, which is based on measurements from ESA’s CryoSat mission, shows that extreme ice melting events in Greenland have become more frequent and more intense over the past 40 years, raising sea levels and the risk of flooding worldwide.
