Five years after the first countries signed the Artemis Accords, a growing group of nations continues to work on how to implement the guidelines contained in the document. The post Artemis Accords nations mark fifth anni...

This was the second plane of satellites for Tranche 1 of the Transport Layer, part of a planned global network of data transport and sensor satellites known as the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture The post Spac...

A new study suggests dark matter could subtly tint or polarize light, leaving faint color clues that next-generation telescopes might detect.

October is an excellent time to observe the Andromeda spiral galaxy as it passes high overhead in the Autumn night sky.

Identifying the gravitational waves from black holes binaries could also make it clearer to detect primordial gravitational waves that date back to inflation at the moment of the Big Bang.

A fireball flared to life in the skies over southern America in the early hours of Oct. 14, briefly turning night to day before fragmenting as it neared the surface.

A small asteroid, called 2025 TP5, will safely fly by our planet Oct. 15 at about a quarter of the distance to the moon.

This official tie-in title was created in collaboration with the film's director, Dan Trachtenberg.

Use cases for smart materials in space exploration keep cropping up everywhere. They are used in everything from antenna deployments on satellites to rover deformation and reformation.

SpaceX plans to launch 21 satellites for an advanced new U.S. military constellation this evening (Oct. 15), and you can watch the action live.

No communication or navigation, faulty electronics and collision risk. At ESAs mission control in Darmstadt, teams faced a scenario unlike any before: a solar storm of extreme magnitude. Fortunately, this nightmare unfol...

Satellite data reveal that a weak region in Earth's magnetic field has grown by an area roughly half the size of continental Europe in the last 10 years.

Satellites recorded the largest ocean swells ever seen from space, highlighting how massive waves can act as storm messengers, carrying a storms power across entire oceans.

The discovery of ancient water in a planet-forming disk reveals that some of the water found in comets-and maybe even Earth-is older than the disk's star itself, offering breakthrough insights into the history of wat...

Why is the universe expanding at an ever-increasing rate? This is one of the most exciting yet unresolved questions in modern physics. Because it cannot be fully answered using our current physical worldview, researchers...

A research team from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has conducted a study on the binary fraction of blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars. Their findings, recently published in Astronomy & Astro...

Beyond Gravity is weighing expanding solar array drive mechanism production in Florida to support Golden Dome and other U.S. space projects, after doubling manufacturing space in Europe for hardware that keeps satellites...

Beneath the shadow of Chile's Licancabur volcano, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) peers into the coldest and most distant reaches of the universe.

Frozen in time, ancient microbes or their remains could be found in Martian ice deposits during future missions to the red planet. By recreating Mars-like conditions in the lab, a team of researchers from NASA Goddard Sp...

Rather randomly Ive just returned from a theatre tour where my science show featured yeast in one of the experiments, so when research about yeast surviving Martian conditions crossed my desk, it immediately piqued my in...
