The first mission devoted to observing the Martian atmosphere and its evolution, NASAs MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution), has ended after more than 11 years in orbit at Mars and a decade beyond its primary, ...

Scientists propose that a moon base could act as an isolated first line of biological defense against extraterrestrial samples that might be harmful to Earth's biosphere.

The Very Large Array, the iconic field of radio antennas featured in the film "Contact" (inspired by Carl Sagan's novel), has a long and distinguished history of service. But after more than 45 years of study...

AST SpaceMobile expects Blue Origins recent launchpad explosion will delay its direct-to-smartphone constellation by three to six months, investment bank William Blair said in an equity research note, pushing initial com...

The strength of gravity is different on every body in the solar system. Whether it's the crushing weight of Jupiter or the minuscule pull of a small asteroid, this fundamental force of physics still has a major impac...

He-Man and Skeletor had the power the power to dance as the Ballroom Masters of the Universe.

NASA engineers completed their final inspection of the Roman telescope's primary mirror and are now preparing to ship the telescope to its Florida launch site.

NASA-supported scientists have provided new information about how the early Earth may have acquired some elements necessary for the planet to become habitable. They also suggest a new role for Jupiter in the distribution...

ESA and China recently launched the joint SMILE magnetosphere mission after a decade of cooperation, but despite similar goals, another collaboration appears distant. The post After cooperation on SMILE mission, ESA and ...

One-and-done still hits the sweet spot with these (inter)stellar space shows.

A multi-year survey of millions of stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud shows that the dwarf galaxy is expanding rather than rotating. This is due to the influence of its larger neighbour, the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The weather on Earth can get pretty messy sometimes. But in space, it can be wild, and the effects can be far-reaching. Solar flares, giant explosions on the sun, can send out streams of energy that block radio communica...

After its rocket explosion, Blue Origin wants to complete repairs and put another New Glenn on the launchpad before the end of 2026, according to CEO Dave Limp. That's very ambitious.

The focus of this NASA/ESAHubbleSpace Telescopeimagereleased on May 29, 2026, is an activespiral galaxyon a journey lasting hundreds of millions of years. The galaxy Messier 88 (M88), also known as NGC 4501, is located a...

A trio of major solar flares triggered radio blackouts across Earth and may spark impressive northern lights as possible solar storms head our way.

The early Universe is full of massive galaxies that stopped forming stars very early. They're called massive quenchers (MQ) and they're challenging to explain. New research shows that another type of galaxy, dust...
