A tiny piece of rural Washington state—and some of its “inhabitants”— blasted off into space from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The study followed astronauts over the last seven years to understand bone recovery after ‘long-duration' spaceflight.

Liquid water is an important prerequisite for life to develop on a planet. It could also exist for billions of years on planets.

The possibility of time travel has excited many of us for hundreds of years, inspiring countless books and films. But is it even possible?

New research suggests that volcanoes may have left another lasting impact on the lunar surface: sheets of ice that dot the moon’s poles.

The robotic explorer GLIMPSE, created at ETH Zurich has made it into the final round of a competition for prospecting resources in space.

Scientists have grown plants in soil from the Moon, a first in human history and a milestone in lunar and space exploration.

New discovery opens the door for scientists to see ideas in action that were previously only understood in theory or represented in science.

Soil on the moon contains active compounds that can convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and fuels, scientists in China report.

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity ("GR") represents space and time as a 4-dimensional "fabric" that can be stretched and folded

The first fully private mission reached the International Space Station with a four-member crew from startup company Axiom Space.

Astronauts might one day grow and eat genetically modified plants to ward off disease associated with long spaceflights.

The mission, which will land on the moon next June, is made up of five small robots that will be placed on the lunar surface.

Traveling to Proxima Centauri b, the closest habitable planet to Earth, would require thousands of years with even the biggest rockets.

As human exploration of space reaches new horizons, understanding the effects of spaceflight on human brains is crucial.

Physicists looked at specific features of light to figure out the closest you can get to a black hole without having to prevent disaster.

A world-first study has revealed how space travel can cause lower red blood cell counts, known as space anemia.

This has never been done before, to push macroscopic objects at speeds approaching the speed of light. Mass is such a huge barrier.

Aerospace engineers at MIT are testing a new concept for a hovering rover that levitates by harnessing the moon’s natural charge.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there.
