Webb Measurements Shed New Light on a Decade-Long Mystery One of the three scientific justifications to the U.S. Congress for building the Hubble Space Telescope was to use its observing power to give an exact value for the expansion rate of the universe. Prior to Hubble’s 1990 launch, observations

A team of scientists have found that a single meteorite was likely responsible for creating billions of craters on the Martian surface.

In a groundbreaking announcement at the 55th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference held in The Woodlands, Texas, scientists revealed the discovery of a giant volcano and possible sheet of buried glacier ice in the eastern part of Mars' Tharsis volcanic province near the planet's equator.

This four-part investigative program features exclusive interviews and never-before-broadcast footage.

New observations of water evaporating and re-forming around a young star could shed light on the water that Earth hosts today.

Defense department releases report calling deluge of reports and claims about government reverse-engineering tech ‘inaccurate’

Scientists may only get to have either the Giant Magellan Telescope or the Thirty Meter Telescope. The problem? Both are already in the works.

Jupiter's icy moon Europa has long been thought of as one of the most habitable worlds in the Solar System. Now the Juno mission to Jupiter has directly sampled its atmosphere in detail for the first time. The results, published in Nature Astronomy, show that Europa's icy surface produces less oxyge...

Scientists have uncovered evidence of an exoplanet covered entirely with water that's hot enough to boil an egg.

Now is the time to make sure you are eclipse-ready for April 8.

In 2021, a solar storm was recorded by multiple different spacecraft and the results tell quite the story.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope peered into the early universe giving scientists new insights into how the first stars formed galaxies.

In 2029, a large asteroid will whizz past Earth so close it’ll be visible to the naked eye, but thankfully models of its orbit rule out an impact in the next century. But could collisions with other asteroids bounce it off-course into us? To find out, astronomers have now crunched the paths of 1.3…

Two supermassive black holes spotted circling inside a remote 'fossil' galaxy are the heaviest, and the closest, black hole binary ever found.

Space Force eyes smaller, cheaper GPS satellites to augment constellation

Russia's first moonshot in nearly half a century has failed after its Luna-25 spacecraft spun out of control and smashed into the moon.

A stunning loss for the Russian space program.

Flight controllers accidentally sent a wrong command nearly two weeks ago that tilted the spacecraft's antenna away from Earth and severed contact.

Astrophysicists describe what galaxy-wide gravitational waves could mean for our understanding of black holes and the history of the cosmos.

Detection of the radio emission from the astronomical object in 1930+ by Karl Jansky started an era of Radio Astronomy followed by many discoveries enriching our understanding of the Universe we live in. Similarly, we are on the verge of opening a new window (ultra-low frequencies) in Gravitational ...
