Hydrogen and oxygen escaping from Earth’s upper atmosphere and combining on the moon could be one of the sources of the known lunar water.

Researchers at MSU, China and France have unveiled a new theory that could help solve a galactic mystery of how our solar system evolved.

Using new analyses, scientists found the last two of the five informational units of DNA and RNA that had yet to be discovered in meteorites

Europa is a prime candidate for life in our solar system, and its deep saltwater ocean has captivated scientists for decades.

Earth-based telescopes that look that far back to the big bang (BB) 13.8 billion years ago are unable to resolve the relevant details.

The ambitious project aims to preserve humankind – and animal-kind, plant-kind and fungi-kind – in the event of a global crisis.

NASA's priority should be the Enceladus Orbilander - a mission to search for evidence of life on Enceladus, Saturn's sixth-largest moon.

Signs of a planet transiting a star outside of the Milky Way galaxy may have been detected for the first time.

NASA flight surgeon Dr. Josef Schmid, Fernando De La Pena Llaca and their teams were the first humans “holoported” from Earth into space.

Research team has discovered a supermassive black hole in the early Universe that could provide the missing link in the evolution of quasars

Astronomers have identified a rapidly growing black hole in the early universe that is considered a crucial "missing link".

Researchers have identified a distant object with properties that lie in-between those of a galaxy and those of a so-called quasar.

Astronomers have found a slimmer type of red giant star for the first time. These stars have undergone dramatic weight loss.

The larger the mirror, the more light is collected. This means that we can see farther back in time to observe star and galaxy formation.

For more than 60 years, scientists have been searching for possible signs that would indicate the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence

3D bioprinting may soon be practical on Earth, and could help meet the challenging conditions of spaceflight.

A powerful radio-wave laser, called a ‘megamaser’, has been observed by the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa.

An international team of astronomers has spotted the most distant astronomical object ever: a galaxy some 13.5 billion light-years away.

NASA has more than 20 Earth-observing satellites that give researchers a global perspective on the interconnected Earth system.

Ice volcanoes emit a "thicker, slushy mix of ice and water, or perhaps a solid flow like glaciers" rather than lava.
