Scientists discovered that earthquake sensors across California recorded the sonic booms of a spacecraft reentering Earth’s atmosphere, allowing them to track its breakup in surprising detail. Just before sunrise on 2 April 2024, people across parts of...

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is built to tackle two huge mysteries at once, dark energy’s cosmic push and the hidden diversity of exoplanets, using a sky sweeping camera and a planet imaging tech demo. Most us have had the same moment at...

NASA and Northrop Grumman have successfully used a Cygnus spacecraft to boost the International Space Station’s orbit ahead of the upcoming Crew-13 mission. A Northrop Grumman Cygnus XL resupply craft has successfully completed a vital orbital maneuver...

More than two decades after its launch, NASA’s Swift observatory is losing altitude and faces a critical deadline. The agency is preparing an unprecedented rescue effort – a newly built spacecraft will rendezvous with Swift, lift it to a safer orbit,...

NASA astronauts study blood flow in microgravity and prep equipment for an upcoming ISS spacewalk, boosting space health research. On the orbiting laboratory, crew members of Expedition 75 are conducting a series of cardiovascular tests to see how the...

Researchers examine if permanent magnets can provide lightweight shielding against hazardous solar storms for future deep‑space missions. Long‑duration voyages to the Moon, Mars and farther destinations will subject crew members to radiation levels far...

Scientists have discovered a link between mysterious vanishing star-like flashes on 1950s sky plates and atmospheric nuclear tests, which also coincide with reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena, revealing hidden secrets of that era. In the...

Six toaster-sized satellites will synchronize to form a giant radio telescope, helping scientists study solar eruptions that threaten space missions. NASA is preparing to launch an ambitious mission that will reconfigure how we monitor the Sun,...

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope has successfully completed its first trajectory adjustment as it journeys toward its final orbit at the L2 Lagrange point. NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has achieved a critical operational milestone, successfully...

NASA is partnering with startup Inversion to test a new spacecraft maneuver that could revolutionize how we enter orbit around other worlds. NASA has entered into a strategic collaboration with California-based startup Inversion to refine a...

New James Webb data upends our view of a nearby lava planet, revealing puzzling activity deep beneath its surface. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have captured five eclipses of the rocky world 55 Cancri e, located roughly 41...

A Russian Progress spacecraft has successfully docked with the International Space Station, delivering vital supplies for the Expedition 75 crew. The International Space Station (ISS) received a vital delivery of supplies on September 19, as the...

A decommissioned 1988 US spy satellite has mysteriously disintegrated in low-Earth orbit, creating a new cloud of space debris 775 kilometers above Earth. A Cold War-era relic has disintegrated in low-Earth orbit, serving as a stark reminder of the...

Japan’s MMX mission is officially underway, embarking on a historic journey to Mars to collect and return the first-ever soil samples from its moon Phobos. The Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) spacecraft has officially begun its long-distance trek...

Just two weeks after launch, Europe’s Sentinel-3C satellite has returned its first high-resolution images of Earth’s oceans, ice, and landscapes. Just two weeks after its successful launch, Europe’s newest Earth-observation mission has cleared its...

New research suggests Venus may have once possessed a moon before tidal forces dragged it back to the planet, potentially explaining its unique rotation. Earth and Venus share a comparable size and mass, yet they diverge sharply in one fundamental way:...

A groundbreaking Canadian-led mission proposal could revolutionize the way scientists search for habitable planets beyond our solar system, zeroing in on some of the smallest and dimmest stars in the galaxy. As outlined in a recent study published on...

A new study investigates the mysterious history of Venus, exploring what the second planet from the Sun may have possessed billions of years ago. Venus stands out in our solar system for its desolate, moonless state, but new research suggests this may...

A stunning orbital image captures the Cygnus spacecraft as it supports the International Space Station and the astronauts living and working on board. A striking new photograph released by NASA offers a rare, clear view of the Northrop Grumman Cygnus...
