Worlds with a fluorescent glow may indicate signs of alien life.
The James Webb telescope will be a game changer.
The findings might help astronomers unravel the dynamics inside neutron stars.
Baby planet, doo doo doo doo doo doo...
Two-thousand processors simulated more than 8 million universes and countless galaxies.
Looks tasty, honestly.
The wealth of newly discovered ancient galaxies suggests that scientists may have to refine their model of the universe.
The moon used to be sterile for billions of years -- until humans came along.
After all, the Earth was once a snowball too.
Let's find the missing black holes!
The other star we've found so far has so little iron -- a key indicator that it was forged close to the dawn of the universe.
The Milky Way's shape resembles that of a hat with the brim down in front and up in back.
Spacecraft pushed by photons might someday take us to other stars.
Soon, NASA will launch a new rover to Mars where it'll have to do a lot of heavy lifting.
The planet is so close to its host star that it only has a 5.36 day-long orbit. At this distance, surface temperatures should hover around 428 Kelvin (155 °C; 311 °F).
We've learned so much about Mars, but pressing questions still remain.
The solar system is very different from our own.
A brave star and a supermassive black hole confirm Einstein's theory of general relativity.
This is good news.
Finally, the Orion capsule is now complete and ready for tests involving humans slated in 2023.
The new study explains why our galaxy doesn't travel with the expansion of the universe.
The map is amazing.
Who's 'we' though?
It doesn't necessarily have to be red wine...
It's one of the fundamental universal features -- and we're still struggling to understand it.
Scientists envision using a very thin material to build a huge greenhouse on Mars.
A group of researchers at NASA is preparing for the final steps to launch the Española chile pepper into space in November.
Researchers plan to employ them as producers of food, antibiotics, other materials for astronauts on deep space missions.
Could this be the key to ensuring that the ISS lives long and prosper?
Titan is of interest because it is the only body in our solar system (besides Earth) that has liquid rivers, lakes, and seas on its surface.

Talk about a surprising find!
It's a wild theory -- but is it crazy enough to work?
It's an unexpected side effect of a useful plan.
It's so close that it shouldn't be able to retain an atmosphere. And yet it does.
Comets seem to release molecular oxygen all the time -- and some scientists have recreated the process on Earth.
A mysterious and alarming uptick in dangerous chlorine-based chemicals has been tracked down to eastern China.
Can't the Moon just go to the tap like the rest of us?
Comfortably insulated.
A hybrid bio-technology could pave the way for future space missions.
Clumps of dark matter might be shooting through the Milky Way's stars.
The tech that brought humans to the moon also made its way into our homes.
