NASA will announce the four astronauts heading to the Moon on June 9, marking a giant leap toward humanity's return to the lunar surface. The mission follows April's successful Artemis II test flight and brings us closer to exploring Mars.
For the first time in nearly 20 years of searching, scientists have definitively detected gamma rays from a rare superluminous supernova, solving a cosmic mystery about what powers these exceptionally bright stellar explosions. The culprit: a newborn magnetar with the strongest magnetic field in the universe.
NASA wants to power lunar missions with a nuclear reactor by 2030, and experts say the ambitious timeline could revolutionize space exploration. The technology could enable permanent moon bases where 14-day nights make solar power impossible.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has now helped discover more than 6,000 worlds beyond our solar system. The joint NASA/ESA mission continues searching for planets that might resemble Earth.
NASA astronauts just traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history, breaking Apollo 13's distance record during a successful moon flyby. The crew witnessed views of the lunar far side that no one had ever seen with their own eyes before returning safely toward home.
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered 21 organic molecules in a Martian rock, the strongest evidence yet that the Red Planet once had the chemistry to support life. The find suggests ancient Mars had lakes and streams that could have nurtured living things billions of years ago.
The Artemis II astronauts broke the distance record for human spaceflight and photographed Earth from farther away than anyone in history. Their stunning "Earthset" image, released on Earth Day, continues a 58-year tradition of space photography that helps us understand and protect our home planet.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is celebrating 36 years in orbit with a stunning new look at the Trifid Nebula, revealing cosmic changes happening in real time. The telescope's 29-year comparison shows jets of plasma moving and new stars forming 5,000 light-years from Earth.
When NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman lost his wife to cancer, he never imagined her memory would live on the Moon. Now a lunar crater bears her name, giving his grief an unexpected place among the stars.
NASA's Parker Solar Probe just revealed a surprising secret about how solar storms form, bringing scientists closer to protecting Earth's power grids and satellites. The discovery could transform how we predict dangerous space weather before it strikes.
A Navy photographer who "didn't even remember" taking the shot captured an unforgettable image of astronaut Christina Koch moments after she became the first woman to travel to the moon. The stunning portrait, snapped during golden hour, became an instant icon of the Artemis II mission.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a breathtaking image of galaxy IC 486, revealing a supermassive black hole at its core that's reshaping our understanding of how galaxies grow. Scientists are using this cosmic powerhouse to unlock secrets about the forces that shape our universe.
Artemis II astronauts witnessed a ghostly blue glow over the Moon's dark side, capturing the strongest evidence yet that our closest neighbor is geologically alive. The discovery could reshape where future missions land and what resources they find.
NASA astronaut Christina Koch returned from the historic Artemis II lunar mission and her emotional reunion with her dog melted hearts across the internet. The video captures a beautiful moment of joy after her 10-day journey around the moon.

Four astronauts splashed down safely off California's coast after completing humanity's first crewed journey around the Moon in over 50 years. The successful 10-day Artemis II mission marks a giant leap toward future lunar landings and deep space exploration.
NASA's Artemis 2 mission delivered groundbreaking science and a deeply personal moment when astronauts honored crew member Reid Wiseman's recently deceased wife by naming a lunar crater after her. The successful mission marks humanity's return to the Moon after decades away.
NASA's historic Artemis II mission used a decade-old Nikon D5 camera alongside newer tech, proving you don't need the latest gear to capture breathtaking images. The choice has photographers buzzing about quality over price tags.
NASA's Artemis II mission just brought humanity one giant leap closer to walking on the moon again. The successful test keeps the space agency right on schedule to land astronauts on the lunar surface in 2028, marking our first return in over 50 years.
NASA's Artemis 2 crew captured stunning lunar images using cameras you can buy today, including 10-year-old models that proved space-worthy. The mission shows that reliable, accessible technology can document humanity's greatest adventures.
NASA's Artemis II crew photographed the Milky Way galaxy during their historic moon flyby, echoing the famous Earthrise image from 1968. The four astronauts are now speeding home at 1,700 mph, with splashdown set for Friday in the Pacific Ocean.
