Black holes are the most extreme objects in the universe, packing so much mass into so little space that nothing can escape.

Perhaps the biggest hurdle to humankind’s expansion throughout the solar system is the prohibitive cost of escaping Earth’s gravity.

A team of Canadian astronomers have used the James Webb Telescope (JWST) to identify the most distant globular clusters ever discovered.

Researchers have designed a state-of-the-art walking robot that could revolutionize large construction projects in space.

When it comes to space, there's a problem with our human drive to go all the places and see all things. A big problem. It's, well, space.

An Earth-like planet orbiting an M dwarf — the most common type of star in the universe — appears to have no atmosphere at all.

These types of gases are made when organisms add a carbon and three hydrogen atoms to an undesirable chemical element.

Of many remarkable events shown in Star Trek, warp drive was one of the many futuristic ideas that caught the attention of many people.

Standard cosmological models tell us that the universe – space, time and mass/energy – exploded into existence some 14 billion years ago.

A new study suggests that many more planets may have large amounts of water than previously thought—as much as half water and half rock.

Strange diamonds from an ancient dwarf planet in our solar system may have formed shortly after the dwarf planet collided with an asteroid.

Warp drive is the holy grail of space exploration. It is said to possess the capability of having a propulsion system that can travel.

If you could keep going out, as far as you wanted, would you just keep passing by galaxies forever? Are there an infinite number of galaxies

A new citizen science project allows volunteers to play an important role in helping scientists learn more about the atmosphere on Jupiter.

Unless an alien civilization is doing experiments like these right now, this experiment is making the coldest fermions in the universe.

Our universe could be the mirror image of an antimatter universe extending backwards in time before the Big Bang.

The exoplanet is orbiting one of two small stars in a binary system located in the Draco constellation about 100 light-years from Earth.

The accepted view of Mars is red rocks and craters as far as the eye can see. That’s what scientists expected when they landed Perseverance.

Cheap and quick to produce, these digitally manufactured plasma sensors could help scientists predict the weather or study climate change.

Some cosmological models propose that the universe expands and contracts in infinite cycles, but new research finds a crucial flaw
