Fancy a trip to outer space?
The planet's largest shark may have been killed by a supernova.
We have a spacecraft inside the sun's atmosphere -- take that in for a moment.
Take me with you!
Helium was predicted to be one of the most common elements of exoplanets, but was only recently observed for the first time.
The natural satellite, not the 1973 album by Pink Floyd. Sadly.
It's hearty space food.
If proven right, this theory could be one of the most important developments in 21st-century physics.
In all honesty, I'd wear a donut if I could get away with it, too.
The number of photons emitted into space is 4 followed by 84 zeroes. Now, that a moment to wrap that figure around your head.
Everything is working according to plan on Mars.
These ancient people were much more savvy than we suspected.
In space, no one can hear you sneeze.
The probe will study 'marsquakes'.
The human brain copes poorly with microgravity -- and that's a big problem for space flight.
The 'twin' was forged in the same stellar nursery as the Sun. It also has the same age, metallicity, chemical abundances, and even carbon-isotope ratios as the Sun.
Rocks collected by the new rover will be transported to Earth.
It's simply mesmerizing.
The small asteroid also seems to be emanating streams of gas that may explain why it was moving faster than it was supposed to.
When science meets art.
The same should happen six billion years from now when the Milky Way merges with Andromeda.
The huge clouds of dust closely orbiting Earth could affect the safety of future space explorations.
NASA's space telescope was looking for new stars when it came across a happy accident.
The Tesla electric car has exceeded its warranty mileage more than 10,000 times.
Still no aliens. But this is definitely a cool find!
These flares should correspond to the point of no return for the Milky Way's supermassive black hole.
And it's only getting warmed up.
This is some scary stuff.
While this isn't a remarkable achievement in itself, it shows that CubeSats are a viable technology for interplanetary missions.
A massive breakthrough in astrophysics might enable us to finally determine the rate at which the universe expands.
A bizarre stellar 'toddler' is leaving scientists scratching their heads.
The incident adds more strain to already tense relations between the US and Russian space programs.
A Congress-mandated committee recommends that finding alien life becomes a priority for most NASA missions.
The findings raise some interesting questions about these beautiful structures.
Dark matter makes up most of the universe -- and we still don't really know what it is.
The huge lander is supposed to ferry humans between an orbiting space station and the lunar surface.
Phosphates forged in space made their way to Earth on comets and asteroid.
A way to create a piece of Mars here on Earth -- kind of.
It's the third Solar System body, in addition to Earth and Mars, where dust storms have been observed.
Thanks, plants!
An experimental spacecraft designed to solve our growing space junk problem was a sound success.
This could give insights on the birth of the Earth, and even the solar system.
The technology initially developed for space is remarkably common in everyday life applications on Earth.
Go Cali, go!
Ceres just got a heck of a lot more interesting to researchers.
Very Renaissance-y, I love it!
The chances of it happening are pretty slim though.
It's been almost 50 years since a human has come this close to the moon.
"Watch out, America!"
Astronaut suits plastered in ads like NASCAR racers? Now that's a thought...
