Despite the global pandemic that has brought much of the world to a grinding halt, space scientists have continued to push the boundaries of our knowledge throughout 2020.
Sadly, it met its end in the Sun's corona.
A new study suggests that it is likely that other civilizations have existed before us in the Milky Way -- before they annihilated themselves.
The hunt is on for black hole with up 100 billion solar masses that is nowhere to be found.
Astronomers have discovered an exotic binary system consisting of two brown dwarfs orbiting each other.
It's the first time any samples for asteroids have been brought back to Earth
ESA’s spacecraft collected important information about nearby stars, the solar system’s motion and provided a map with the motions of 40 thousand stars in the Milky Way. It’s the best available map we have of our galaxy and it looks stunning. Gaia is an ESA mission to build a 3D map of the Milky Way. […]
The experience will prove useful in China's future sample missions to Mars in 2030 and upcoming crew missions to the moon.
The samples are in 'perfect shape' and they could shed new light on the birth of the solar system.
The melting of ice beneath the surface of Mars could have made its deep regions the most habitable.
A look back on one of the world's iconic telescopes.
We absolutely need this if we're to ever establish a colony on the Red Planet.
A secondary nuclear fusion process first proposed 30 years ago has now been confirmed by scientists in Italy.
Early Mars may have gone through global megafloods, but was it habitable?
The boulder-like object has resumed its journey around the sun, but many other minimoons are waiting to be discovered.
The 10 billion-year-old fossil was named Heracles after the Greek Hero who was made immortal when the Milky Way was born.
It looks a bit like a dog house, doesn't it?
Both neural and galactic networks have the same structure, pointing to a fractal universe.
Mothballed on NASA’s shelves were the plans to view stars 13 billion years in the past. Now, a group of astronomers from the University of Texas at Austin want to dust off ideas for a moon-based telescope and try to put them to good use. The project was first tabled more than a decade ago […]
After the moon, they also want to put one on Mars.
The Milky Way has intertwined with other galaxies multiple times. Now, astronomers have put the puzzle pieces together.
For billions of years, Mars has had quite the leak.
This would be very helpful.
It's honest work.
To build a moon base, you first need oxygen.
As if Europa needed to get even cooler.
A new study highlights the importance of solar flares and space weather in reducing the habitability of exoplanets.
Scientists hope to verify their observations with the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope in 2021.
Astronomers have discovered a free-floating planet, not associated with any parent star wandering our galaxy.
Beta testers for SpaceX's internet satellite network are reporting good connections so far.
Its astronomical value is another reason why we should invest more in space.
NASA has announced that water is more common on the Moon than previously believed, with traces now discovered at its sunlit Lunar South Pole. This is an area that has been traditionally considered free of water.
Suffering from success.
Shell-like structures in the Milky Way were created when a dwarf galaxy plunged through our galaxy’s heart around 3 billion years ago, new research suggests.
Getting excited over a handful of dirt is sometimes very warranted.
The crew was in no danger but the ISS is showing its age.
Good luck!
Cat videos and memes -- soon on a Moon near you.
It's the only place other than Earth in our solar system that's known to have white-peaked mountains
This could solve the mystery of tidal disruption events or ‘spaghettification.’
They pooled a lot of expertise into making these suits.
Isn't this a plot twist?
Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Astronomers have discovered a tremendous cosmic web in the early Universe. Trapped within its threads, six galaxies feeding gas to a central supermassive black hole.
The bigger they are the… harder they mess up Venus, I guess.
Status report: astronomers may have found a planet outside our galaxy, something that has never been done before.
How do you measure... everyhing?
This has been a tremendous month for discoveries on the inner planets.
