Astronomers have discovered more than 5,000 planets outside of the solar system to date. The grand question is whether any of these planets are home to life. To find the answer, astronomers will likely need more powerful...

NASA has tasked Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace to back each other up as each develops new spacesuit designs for spacewalking and the lunar surface.

A recent study published in Nature examines a volcanic hotspot that potentially exists beneath a feature on the Moon's farside (the side facing away from the Earth) called the Compton-Belkovich Thorium Anomaly. Researche...

Wildfires in British Columbia and Canada, driven by Climate Change, established new records this year. The post Forest Fires in British Columbia are Bad This Year. THIRTY Times Worse Than Average appeared first on Univer...

As part of NASA's regular cadence of robotic lunar missions through Artemis, the agency has selected a new scientific payload to establish the age and composition of hilly terrain created by volcanic activity on the near...

The U.S. Space Force released a revised draft solicitation for the next round of national security launch contracts, known as National Security Space Launch Phase 3. The post Space Force to select three providers of nati...

Isn't it strange that when satellites run out of fuel or a single component breaks down, we just discard them? ESA and European industry have joined forces to make sure that our satellites can live on.

The surface of the moon tells the story of the inner solar system. Every meteorite that hits leaves its mark, and together those craters hold a record of the events that have occurred on and around the moon over the past...

Magnetic fields are common throughout the universe but incredibly challenging to study. They don't directly emit or reflect light, and light from all along the electromagnetic spectrum remains the primary purveyor of ast...

Built on opposite sides of the planet, the NISAR satellite will deepen our understanding of climate change, deforestation, glacier melt, volcanoes, earthquakes, and more.

Moon craters used to measure lunar time have been reassessed, indicating some features are much older than we thought, possibly by up to 200 million years.

Apple T.V.'s epic adaptation of Isaac Asimov's novels has been playing the very long game.

A team of astrophysicists with members from China, the U.S. and Germany has discovered ionized gas nebulae surrounding three luminous red quasars featuring pairs of "superbubbles." In their study, reported in the journal...

Saturn's moon Enceladus is one of the most promising places to look for life in the Solar System. It has an ocean of liquid water venting into space, and evidence from Cassini suggested that it's filled with organic mole...
