Everything we know about 'The Fantastic Four'
After several years in development and pre-production at Marvel Studios, The Fantastic Four is finally coming to the big screen in 2025. Here's all we know.
What’s the Most Effective Way to Explore our Nearest Stars?
It was 1903 that the Wright brothers made the first successful self-propelled flight. Launching themselves to history, they set the foundations for transatlantic flights, supersonic flight and perhaps even the exploration of the Solar System. Now we are on the precipice of travel among the stars but among the many ideas and theories, what is the ultimate and most effective way to explore our nearest stellar neighbours? After all, there are 10,000 stars within a region of 110 light years from Earth so there are plenty to choose from.
NASA satellite's 'shocking' space junk near-miss was even closer than thought
The Feb. 28 encounter between NASA's TIMED satellite and a dead Russian spacecraft was even closer than first thought — a mere 33 feet (10 meters) or so, NASA officials said.
Radiating Exoplanet Discovered in “Perfect Tidal Storm”
Can tidal forces cause an exoplanet’s surface to radiate heat? This is what a recent study accepted to The Astronomical Journal hopes to address as a team of international researchers used data collected from ground-based instruments to confirm the existence of a second exoplanet residing within the exoplanetary system, HD 104067, along with using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission to identify an additional exoplanet candidate, as well. What’s unique about this exoplanet candidate, which orbits innermost compared to the other two, is that the tidal forces exhibited from the outer two exoplanets are potentially causing the candidates’ surface to radiate with its surface temperature reaching as high as 2,300 degrees Celsius (4,200 degrees Fahrenheit), which the researchers refer to as a “perfect tidal storm”.
NASA's Juno probe captures amazing views of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io (video)
NASA's Juno probe continues to give us more insight into Jupiter and the giant planet's moons, including Io, the most volcanically active object in the solar system.
NASA's Artemis 3 astronauts will put a moonquake detector on lunar surface
NASA is building a moonquake detector for its upcoming Artemis 3 mission, in hopes of learning more about lunar tremors and the internal structure of the moon.
Ingenuity's travels: New NASA video tracks Mars helicopter's 72 flights
NASA's history-making Ingenuity helicopter covered a lot of ground on Mars over the past three years, as a new video shows.
Private space-junk probe to conduct up-close inspection of spent rocket stage
The mission aims to assist the later removal of spunk junk, an issue that threatens the sustainable use of orbital space above the Earth.
Watch 'Devil Comet' approach the sun during explosive coronal mass ejection (video)
This NASA space-based observatory video shows 'Devil Comet' 12P/Pons-Brooks passing past bright Jupiter while the sun explodes in the distance.
Japanese satellite will beam solar power to Earth in 2025
Japan will test solar power transmission from space in 2025 with a miniature space-based photoelectric plant that will wirelessly transmit energy from low Earth orbit to Earth.
The Giant Planets Migrated Between 60-100 Million Years After the Solar System Formed
Untangling what happened in our Solar System tens or hundreds of millions of years ago is challenging. Millions of objects of wildly different masses interacted for billions of years, seeking natural stability. But its history—including the migration of the giant planets—explains what we see today in our Solar System and maybe in other, distant solar systems.
China's experimental moon satellites beam back lunar imagery (video, photo)
A pair of small experimental satellites have begun tests related to future lunar communication and navigation services for China's moon ambitions.
Are we prepared for Chinese preeminence on the moon and Mars? (op-ed)
The U.S. could lose its decades-old leadership in space exploration and technology to China.
'Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver' is a knockout punch of pure sci-fi cinema (review)

'Astrobiodefense:' Thinktank calls for defending Earth from space bugs
The quest to bring samples back to Earth from Mars has been met with controversy in some quarters as the threat that ecologically-hungry Martian microbes might pose to our biosphere continues to be a topic of concern.
ESA and the EU agree to accelerate the use of space
ESA will work closely with the EU to use space to improve life on Earth, following an agreement signed today by ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher (left) and the European Commission’s Director-General for Defence Industry and Space, Timo Pesonen.
The Lyrid meteor shower peaks this weekend, but don't expect much this year
The annual Lyrid meteor shower peaks overnight on April 21-22, but unfortunately a bright moon will make it difficult to spot any 'shooting stars' this year.
This Week's Sky at a Glance, April 19 – 28
