NASA, in collaboration with other leading space agencies, aims to send its first human missions to Mars in the early 2030s, while companies like SpaceX may do so even earlier. Astronauts on Mars will need oxygen, water, food, and...
Voyager 1 - one of two sibling NASA spacecraft launched 44 years ago and now the most distant human-made object in space - still works and zooms toward infinity.
The craft has long since zipped past the edge of the...
Scientists have spotted the largest flare ever recorded from the sun's nearest neighbor, the star Proxima Centauri.
The research, which appears today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, was led by the University of Colorado Boulder and could help to shape the hunt...
A binary black holes is a pair of orbiting black holes millions of times the Sun's mass perform a hypnotic pas de deux in a new NASA visualization. The movie traces how the black holes distort and redirect light...
Astronomers discover that galaxy UGC 10738 is similar to the Milky Way galaxy revealing that spiral galaxies are typical. This new discovery shows how the Milky Way fits into the much bigger puzzle of how spiral galaxies formed across...
New findings from a team using the international Gemini Observatory and the WIYN 3.5-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory suggest that Earth-sized worlds could be lurking undiscovered in binary star systems.Some exoplanet searches could be missing nearly half...
NASA is holding a news conference on Wednesday, January 18th to announce its next steps for the Sustainable Flight Demonstrator project. The project aims to develop a new generation of lower-emission single-aisle airliners and to validate green technologies related...
Today, an international team of scientists, including researchers at MIT, have announced the detection of a new kind of astrophysical system: a collision between a black hole and a neutron star — two of the densest, most exotic objects...
A new class of exoplanet very different to our own, but which could support life, has been identified by astronomers, which could greatly accelerate the search for life outside our Solar System.
In the search for life elsewhere, astronomers have...
