The mammoth comet's approach will provide astronomers a unique opportunity to study the conditions of the early solar system.
The Mayans and Teotihuacan may have been closer than we thought.
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!
It's stunning what you can produce with enough computational power.
Their blood, tears, and sweat contain useful chemicals for developing construction materials.
The huge "dog-boned" asteroid hurling through the solar system has now been imaged in unprecedented detail.
After some hiccups, NASA has confirmed that the rover has retrieved and sealed its first sample, one of many that will be eventually sent back to Earth.
The little helicopter that could.
It will all be for charity, paid for by a US entrepreneur.
The rover arrived in February on the Red Planet
The mission seems to be going according to plan.
It's one of the most exciting projects in modern science -- and it's ready to hit the stage.
Although they're much larger and hotter than Earth, these Hycean worlds may have oceans that could host microbial life.
The asteroid 2021 PH27 is the closest asteroid to the Sun with a surface temperature hot enough to melt lead and completes an orbit in just 113 days.
Fires are ravaging many parts of the world.
The Russians apparently have been unintentionally playing the galactic version of bumper cars. It has been reported that the Chinese satellite Yunhai 1-02 broke apart into several pieces in March after it whacked into space junk from part of a Russian Zenit-2 rocket. Harvard astronomer Jonathan McDowell spotted the wreckage recently in a data log […]
... because the overall odds are still very low.
It's one of the smallest exoplanets found thus far
It's still pretty neat... but not as exciting as water.
Everybody is fine and we've put it back in place.
Massive objects become the astrophysicists’ extra lenses.
Our solar system just keeps getting more interesting.
Our first Mars helicopter is busy growing into its own.
Hindsight is 20/20 -- and so is a telescope equipped with AI.
Earthquakes passing through the planet's depths reveal bits about its structure -- but we're just scratching the surface.
The revolving disk holds enough matter to seed three moons the size of Earth's.
Thanks to NASA's InSight Mars mission we now have a good picture of the interior of another planet.
For the first time in over a month, Hubble is able to snap new images of the universe.
It roughly overlaps their wake through solar wind.
“Best day ever,” Bezos said after landing.
New research has shown that mountains on the surface of neutron stars could be millimetres tall.
He will be the youngest person to travel to space
A reliable way to detect coronal holes using CHRONNOS.
The moon wobbles in roughly 18-year cycles like a rocking ship as it orbits Earth. Next cycle could exacerbate rising sea levels due to climate change, which may lead to 3-4 times more days with floods in US coastlines.
The space rice is here.
Under its icy surface, Europa could have the right conditions for life to emerge.
The long-promised space tourism “business” is now officially a thing, and Richard Branson is (for now) the leading figure.
We're not saying there's life on Enceladus... but there *could be* life on Enceladus.
Ingenuity took a daring shortcut on its record-breaking 9th flight on the Red Planet.
