A new rocket designed to launch humans to the moon, Mars and beyond will launch next year with a familiar fuzzy figure—Snoopy.

Astronomers have discovered a small black hole outside the Milky Way by looking at how it influences the motion of a star in its vicinity.

A NASA sounding rocket will observe a nearby star to learn how starlight affects the atmospheres of exoplanets in the hunt for life.

Studying the atmospheres of white dwarfs that have been “polluted” by such debris, researchers have identified exotic rock types.

Dozens of space-based telescopes operate near Earth and provide incredible images of the universe. Imagine a telescope in the outer system.

NASA plans to crash a spacecraft traveling at a speed of 15,000 miles per hour into an asteroid next year in a test of "planetary defense".

Water is essential for life on Earth and other planets, and scientists have found ample evidence of water in Mars’ early history.

According to NASA, there are more than 27,000 pieces of space debris bigger than the size of a softball currently orbiting Earth.

Preventing pieces of space debris from crashing into each other is a problem engineers have been grappling with for decades.

On isolated mountaintops across the planet, it is time to look at the supermassive black hole at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy.

Astronomers have reported the discovery of a structure thought to be a "protocluster" of galaxies 11 billion light-years from Earth.

Researchers have developed a concept that would make rocket fuel on Mars, that could be used to launch future astronauts back to Earth.

Researchers from Chile directly measure the amount of both water and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere of a planet in another solar system.

One of the youngest planets ever found around a distant infant star has been discovered by an international team of scientists.

A planet transiting a star outside of the Milky Way galaxy may have been detected for the first time by the Chandra X-ray Observatory.

Water is essential for life on Earth and other planets, and scientists have found ample evidence of water in Mars’ early history.

The ‘gravity tractor’ method of asteroid deflection involves flying a spacecraft close enough to an asteroid so its gravitational attraction

Researchers present a numerical estimate for the amount of encoded information in all the visible matter in the universe.

When NASA's James Webb Space Telescope launches, it will undergo one of the most harrowing deployment processes any spacecraft has endured.

Firing a nuclear warhead at a small asteroid on a collision course with the Earth could stop 99 percent of it from hitting the planet.
