Launched in September 2023, the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) -- led by JAXA, in collaboration with NASA with additional contributions from ESA -- has produced its first test images.

One astronomer proposes that, instead of building gigantic, expensive experiments on Earth, we should try another method of searching for dark matter: Looking to the stars.

"The Mandalorian" creator Jon Favreau will direct "The Mandalorian & Grogu" movie for release in theaters sometime in 2025.

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted signs of a ghostly aurora over a 'failed star,' in the form of infrared emissions from methane in the brown dwarf's atmosphere.

A crippling fuel leak forced a U.S. company on Tuesday to give up on landing a spacecraft on the moon.

Astronauts will have to wait until next year before flying to the moon and another few years before landing on it, under the latest round of delays announced by NASA on Tuesday.

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found a rare event in an oddball place. It's called a fast radio burst (FRB), a fleeting blast of energy that can - for a few milliseconds - outshine an entire galaxy....

Supernova explosions are fascinating because they’re so cataclysmic, powerful, and awe-inspiring. They’re Nature’s summer blockbusters. Humans have recorded their existence in ancient astronomical records and stone...

NASA announced today (Jan. 9) that its flagship Artemis 2 moon mission will be delayed until September 2025 due to technical challenges and safety concerns.

A propellant leak will keep Astrobotic's Peregrine lander from touching down on the moon, but the mission team is working to extend the probe's life as long as possible.

In summer 2022, astronomers detected the most powerful fast radio burst (FRB) ever observed. And coming from a location that dates halfway back to the Big Bang, it also was the farthest known FRB spotted to date.

For the first time, astronomers have combined data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope to study the well-known supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). This work has helped explain an unus...

The U.S. Space Force has inked a $19.8 million deal with Microsoft to develop a virtual and mixed-reality training environment. The post Space Force inks deal with Microsoft for mixed reality training appeared first on S...

NASA announced Tuesday updates to its Artemis campaign that will establish the foundation for long-term scientific exploration at the Moon, land the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, and prepare...

A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal reveals new evidence for standard gravity breaking down in an idiosyncratic manner at low acceleration. This new study reinforces the evidence for modified gravity that ...

Star formation is well understood when it happens in the populous centers of galaxies. From our vantage point on Earth, within the Milky Way, we see it happening all around us. But when newborn stars are birthed in the e...

The mysterious wispy green light captured by the James Webb Space Telescope last year near the heart of Cassiopeia A turns out to be a result of a blast wave slamming into surrounding material.

Over ten years ago, the Dark Energy Survey (DES) began mapping the universe to find evidence that could help us understand the nature of the mysterious phenomenon known as dark energy. I'm one of more than 100 contributi...
