Researchers have designed a satellite system that could protect Earth from catastrophic solar superstorms by creating a giant plasma wall in space. The six-satellite constellation, called StormWall, could cut a superstorm's intensity by more than half and is "quite feasible" according to experts.
China is expanding international partnerships in space exploration, including lunar missions, asteroid defense, and cleaning up space debris. The initiative aims to create shared benefits for all nations through collaborative space technology.
Scientists sent bacteria and viruses to the International Space Station, and their mutations in space revealed new ways to combat drug-resistant infections back on Earth. The discovery could help millions suffering from infections that no longer respond to antibiotics.
Viruses evolved aboard the International Space Station returned to Earth with a surprise power: they could kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria better than their Earth-bound counterparts. This accidental discovery could help scientists develop new treatments for dangerous infections.
ESA astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski filmed breathtaking timelapse videos of Earth and the moon during his 20-day mission aboard the International Space Station. The Polish space traveler conducted 16 scientific experiments while sharing humanity's view from orbit.
Astronauts kicked soccer balls around the International Space Station to study how sensor technology affects the game. The space research is already improving how smart soccer balls perform in matches back on Earth.
A California space company is launching a mission to bring a 100-ton asteroid to orbit near Earth, turning it into a robotic research station for manufacturing materials in space. The breakthrough could make space exploration cheaper and more sustainable by using resources already floating in our solar system.
Artemis II astronauts experienced the "overview effect" during their historic moon flyby, a profound shift in perspective that makes space travelers appreciate how fragile and precious Earth truly is. Their emotional reactions echo decades of astronauts who return home forever changed by the view.
A groundbreaking space mission just launched to unlock the mysteries of how Earth protects itself from solar storms. Scientists will now get an unprecedented view of our planet's invisible magnetic defense system.
NASA astronaut Chris Williams photographed a stunning view from 261 miles above Earth, showing city lights streaking below while distant stars create circular trails. The image showcases spacecraft from multiple nations working together aboard the International Space Station.
A breathtaking nine-minute timelapse of Earth and the Moon captured from the International Space Station is giving millions a new perspective on our planet. Polish astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski filmed the stunning footage during a 20-day research mission this summer.
Two French space companies are joining forces to tackle the growing problem of space debris, testing technology that could safely remove defunct satellites from low Earth orbit. The partnership shows how collaboration is accelerating solutions to keep space safe for everyone.
Scientists sent bacteria and viruses to the International Space Station and discovered they evolve completely differently in microgravity. These unexpected mutations could help engineers design better treatments for antibiotic-resistant infections threatening lives back on Earth.
For the first time ever, a powerful AI foundation model is processing Earth observation data directly from orbit, unlocking faster insights about floods, fires, and natural disasters. NASA's open-source Prithvi model just made history aboard the International Space Station.
The Space Foundation's CEO shares how nations are working together to expand humanity's reach beyond Earth. New programs are building the workforce that will power the next generation of space exploration.
NASA scientists have designed a giant space umbrella that could help telescopes spot planets like Earth around distant stars. The breakthrough concept combines space and ground technology to search for signs of life beyond our solar system.
Former NASA astronaut Ron Garan spent 178 days in space and returned with a message that could change everything. Seeing Earth from above revealed the biggest mistake humanity is making right now.
Scientists discovered that mini-hearts grown from human stem cells develop faster and in greater quantities aboard the International Space Station than in Earth-based labs. This space-grown breakthrough could one day help millions of heart disease patients waiting for life-saving treatments.
Congress just voted to keep the International Space Station flying until 2032, buying time for American companies to launch commercial space stations before China dominates orbit. The move ensures astronauts never have to leave low Earth orbit.
A groundbreaking space mission will capture the first-ever images of Earth's protective magnetic bubble from 120,000 km above the North Pole. The project could revolutionize how we predict dangerous space weather for future missions.
