How SpaceShipOne's historic launch 20 years ago paved the way for a new space tourism era
On June 21, 2004, SpaceShipOne reached the final frontier for the first time, notching a huge milestone for private spaceflight and paving the way for space tourism.
NASA, Boeing delay Starliner astronaut landing again, to study helium leaks and thruster issues
Boeing's Starliner capsule will remain docked with the ISS until at least July 2, in part to give mission team members more time to assess helium leaks and thruster issues.
It’s Not Just Rocks, Scientists Want Samples Mars’s Atmosphere
Mars holds a very special place in our hearts. Chiefly because of all the other planets in the Solar System Mars is probably the place we are going to find some tantalising clues or maybe even evidence of prehistoric life. NASA Perseverance Rover has been trundling around the Jezero Crater looking for evidence that it was once hospitable to life. To that end it has not only been collecting rock samples but air samples too and scientists can’t wait to get their hands on them.
Magnetic vortices may help feed supermassive black holes. Here's how
A spinning magnetic wind blows from supermassive black holes, paving the way for more matter to fall into them, scientists say.
Is there liquid water on Mars today? Marsquake data could tell us
Some scientists believe they may be able to find buried liquid water on the Red Planet by studying seismic and magnetic readings to reconstruct the aftermath of marsquakes.
Gaia space telescope helps astronomers image hidden objects around bright stars
The Gaia space telescope has spotted the dim companions of eight bright stars, suggesting we can expect new glimpses of distant planets.
How to watch SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket launch NOAA's GOES-U satellite on June 25
A SpaceX Falcon Heavy is scheduled to launch NOAA's GOES-U weather satellite on June 25. Here's how to watch live.
Something’s Always Been Off About the Crab Nebula. Webb Has Revealed Why!
The Crab Nebula has always fascinated me, albeit amazed me that it doesn’t look anything like a crab! It’s the result of a star that exploded at the end of its life back in 1054 CE, leaving behind what is known as a supernova remnant. Back then the explosion would have been visible to the naked eye, even in daytime. It was thought that the supernova that led to the cloud was from a less evolved star with a core made from oxygen, neon and magnesium. Recent studies by the James Webb Space Telescope reveals that it may actually be the core collapse of an iron rich star.
The rotation of Earth's inner core is slowing down
The rotation of Earth's inner core began to slow down more than a decade ago, altering the length of our days by fractions of a second.
Lake Shorelines on Titan are Shaped by Methane Waves
Distant Titan is an oddball in the Solar System. Saturn’s largest moon—and the second largest in the entire Solar System—has an atmosphere denser than Earth’s. It also has stable lakes and seas of liquid hydrocarbons on its surface.

Around the world, people celebrated the June 20 solstice in a variety of ways as Earth's north pole reached its greatest tilt towards the sun.
Virgin Galactic announces international crew for flight on new Delta class space plane
Virgin Galactic announced a private mission with three researchers, which will fly no earlier than 2026 aboard the new Delta class of aircraft.
Astronomers Trace the Family Tree of Star Clusters in the Solar Neighborhood
Astronomers have pressed rewind on a cosmic video of the solar neighborhood, tracing the origins of young star clusters within 3,000 light-years of the Sun.
The Predator lands in Wakanda in new 'Predator vs Black Panther' series
A preview of Marvel Comics' "Predator versus Black Panther" miniseries coming this summer.
Could We Put Data Centers In Space?
Artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm lately. It also requires loads of band-end computing capability to do the near-miraculous things that it does. So far, that “compute,” as it’s known in the tech industry, has been based entirely on the ground. But is there an economic reason to do it in space? Some people seem to think so, as there has been a growing interest in space-based data centers. Let’s take a look at why.
When a dangerous asteroid threatens Earth, humanity will have to work together, NASA says
Earth's oft-squabbling nations will need to set aside their differences, at least for a while, when a big, dangerous asteroid puts our planet in its crosshairs.
Why smaller planets are better at building large moons
The energy of moon-forming can have a big say in whether large or doomed smaller moons are built.
Ariane 6 pre-show: wet dress rehearsal complete
Yesterday, the first Ariane 6 rocket to launch into space went through its last full ‘wet dress rehearsal’ at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana – it provided an exciting sneak peek of what’s to come, stopping just a few seconds before engine ignition and of course, lift-off.
Space photo of the week: 'Earthrise,' the Christmas Eve image that changed the world
Snapped from lunar orbit in 1968 by NASA astronaut Bill Anders, who died this week at age 90, 'Earthrise' is perhaps the most iconic image of our planet ever taken.
The JWST Peers into the Heart of Star Formation
The James Webb Space Telescope has unlocked another achievement. This time, the dynamic telescope has peered into the heart of a nearby star-forming region and imaged something astronomers have longed to see: aligned bipolar jets.
