Could we find microbial life on Venus after all?
Ryugu is helping unravel the origin and evolution of our Solar System.
Water ice is rare close to the Martian equator, but scientists have now found a boatload.
The sturdy Parker Probe has returned some really useful data after reaching the Sun's atmosphere.
Scientists hoped to find a deviation from this landmark theory. But general relativity proves yet again to be one tough nut to crack.
The new observations are 20 times closer and sharper than ever before.
It reaffirms the possibility of planets being formed around stars.
From the track to outer space.
AI can reliably spot molecules on exoplanets – and might one day even discover new laws of physics
Solar wind may have primed comets and asteroids to release their water, researchers found.
It comes amid a series of proposals that the ESA will pursue in the future.
Get ready for a celestial showtime
It was part of a military test
TRUTHS measurements will allow changes in Earth’s climate to be detected faster
Astronauts may have to shorten their missions on the space station to mitigate this problem.
It's always best to be prepared, especially when it comes to asteroids.
Asteroids are pretty, at least from afar.
This will teach us a lot about how the element forms in the Universe.
It's the first time NASA has grown hot peppers in space -- and they're apparently delicious.
Exoplanet composition may be much more varied and weird than we thought.
When stars collapse under their own gravity, they can leave behind a neutron star or black hole — provided that the star is massive enough. In a binary star system, this can lead to some pretty wicked interactions. When stars collapse under their own gravity, they can leave behind a neutron star or maybe a […]
It would travel faster and farther than any man-made object we've made thus far.
Just months after completing its first human space flight, Blue Origin has announced plans to build and operate a new space station to be operational by the late 2020s. The timeline is ambitious since the company has yet to put a manned flight in orbit, but Blue Origin swears by its plan. Coined “Orbital Reef,” […]
Outside of Earth, Europa is one of the places most likely to host life in our solar system.
Ancient aliens may have not found Venus that appealing.
The signals don't match any known source. It could be an entirely new cosmic object.
The magnetic connection of the stars and unseen orbiting planets tipped off the astronomers.

To boldly sow where no man has sown before.
It's the best thing you'll see today.
A very useful tool for forest management.
Well, at least this much is clear: NASA’s propulsion system for its Psyche spacecraft looks a lot cooler than previous probes. The thrusters (known as Hall thrusters) emit a futuristic blue glow. The thrusters will be reliant on solar arrays that convert sunlight into electricity and will carry the probe 1.5 billion miles (2.4 billion […]
You live in a world where simulations are possible -- and we're not sure if everything *is* a simulation.
VIPER will look for water ice on the Moon, helping to establish a human presence in the future.
Further flights are scheduled over the next year
Whether that's good news or not is anyone's guess, though.
These things were huge!
