NASA fully fueled its Artemis 2 moon rocket during a crucial test today (Feb. 2) but had to pause the operation twice due to leaks. Will the agency still try to launch on Feb. 8?

NASA stopped short of completing a critical fuel test for its Artemis 2 SLS rocket because of hydrogen leaks that sound a lot like the problems they had during Artemis 1.

"The fundamental elements of generative AI are showing a lot of promise in streamlining the pillars of autonomous navigation for off-planet driving."

When I say that the universe is 13.77 billion years old, it sounds rather authoritative.

SpaceX has temporarily grounded its Falcon 9 rocket after an upper stage failed to deorbit as planned during a Feb. 2 launch. Will the issue affect the company's Crew-12 astronaut mission?

Astronomers haven't found many gas giants orbiting white dwarfs. But is that because they're so difficult to spot? Or is it because their survival rate is so low? New research probes the issue.

Magnetism on the moon has always been a bit confusing. Remote sensing probes have noted there is some magnetic signature, but far from the strong cocoon that surrounds Earth itself. Previous attempts to detect it in retu...
