A rotating universe would be capable of rotating your future into your own past, allowing you to travel back in time.

SpaceX will try to launch its huge Starship rocket to Earth orbit for the first time next month, provided the vehicle passes its remaining tests, Elon Musk said.

The gravitational waves would be weak, but potentially detectable by the next joint observing run of the world's gravitational-wave detectors.

The Tarantula Nebula, also called 30 Doradus, is the brightest star-forming region in our part of the galaxy. It’s in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and contains the most massive and hottest stars we know of. The Tar...

Researchers have created a never-before-seen form of ice with a disorganized structure and a density almost exactly that of liquid water.

Galaxies fill a lot of roles in the universe. The most obvious one is star formation factories. Without that activity, the cosmos would be a very different place. The European Southern Observatory and the Atacama Large M...

U.S. defense contractor CACI signed an agreement with the U.S. Army to collaborate on the development of space sensors and payloads for positioning, navigation and timing. The post CACI to collaborate with U.S. Army on s...

Five years ago today (Feb. 6), SpaceX's brawny Falcon Heavy rocket left Earth for the first time ever, sending a car into orbit around the sun.

Stargazers across the world, as well as celebrants of China's Lantern Festival, hailed the arrival of the full snow moon in pictures.

Rare clouds that give off bright, multi-colored light like an aurora were recently spotted at multiple locations in the Arctic. But what causes them?

In-space propulsion specialist Busek revealed its role in helping OneWeb recover from the sudden loss of Fakel satellite thrusters after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The post Busek ramps up production for OneWeb co...

Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to identify the precise location of a powerful energy source hidden by cosmic dust in the luminous merging galaxy IIZw096.

While astronomers and engineers were trying to calibrate one of the James Webb Space Telescope's instruments last summer, they serendipitously found a previously unknown small 100-200-meter (300-600 ft) asteroid in the m...

White dwarfs comprise a class of faint stars representing the endpoint of the evolution of intermediate- and low-mass stars. The mass of a white dwarf is the order of that of the sun, but a radius comparable to that of t...

An international team of researchers has uncovered what might be a critical step in the chemical evolution of molecules in cosmic "stellar nurseries." In these vast clouds of cold gas and dust in space, trillions of mole...

A previously unknown 100-200-metre asteroid -- roughly the size of Rome's Colosseum -- has been detected by an international team of European astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. Their project u...
