A NASA artificial intelligence tool that already discovered 370 planets just leveled up, identifying 7,000 promising new planet candidates. The best part? Anyone can download it for free and join the hunt.
Scientists just discovered two dozen possible new worlds circling binary star systems using a clever new detection method. The find opens up a whole new way to spot planets that NASA's TESS satellite couldn't detect before.
NASA's TESS satellite has created the most complete map of planets beyond our solar system, revealing nearly 6,000 new worlds in just eight years. Some of these distant planets sit in zones where liquid water and life might exist.
NASA just released free software that lets anyone hunt for new planets using artificial intelligence. The updated tool already identified 7,000 potential new worlds in data from the TESS space telescope.
NASA's TESS spacecraft just revealed its most complete sky map yet, showing nearly 6,000 potential planets beyond our solar system discovered over eight years. Some of these distant worlds sit in zones where liquid water could exist, bringing us closer to answering whether we're alone in the universe.
A NASA telescope designed to spot nearby planets accidentally found one 40,000 light-years away using a detection method it was never meant to use. The discovery suggests hundreds more hidden planets might be waiting in archived data.
NASA's planet-hunting spacecraft just captured something extraordinary: a visitor from beyond our solar system making its final journey past Earth. The comet is only the third confirmed object ever detected from another star system.
Scientists discovered more than 10,000 new candidate planets hiding in NASA telescope data, potentially doubling the number of known worlds beyond our solar system. The breakthrough came from looking deeper into images we already had.
NASA's planet-hunting spacecraft caught rare footage of an interstellar comet racing through our solar system, giving scientists a precious glimpse of a visitor from beyond. The 28-hour video reveals secrets about this cosmic traveler's path back to deep space.
The article details the day-by-day schedule for NASA's Artemis II mission, a nearly 10-day test flight that will send four astronauts around the Moon and back to Earth. The crew includes NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, plus Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen. The schedule covers activities from launch day through landing, including system checks, exercise routines, lunar flyby, and Earth observation opportunities. --- # BRIGHTWIRE ARTICLE TITLE: Four Astronauts Set for Historic Moon Orbit This April SUMMARY: NASA's Artemis II mission will send four astronauts around the Moon in April 2026, marking humanity's first crewed lunar journey in over 50 years. The 10-day mission tests critical systems for future Moon landings.
Nancy Grace Roman, NASA's first female executive who championed the Hubble Space Telescope, made everyone feel special with her warmth and humor. This week, NASA launches a new telescope bearing her name, celebrating a woman who changed astronomy forever.
Kenny Heckle started working at NASA's Kennedy Space Center at age 19 as a contractor in 1984. After four decades of solving critical spaceflight problems, he and 19 teammates just became full NASA employees.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman piloted a fighter jet over the National Mall on July 4th, honoring America's semiquincentennial with a spectacular flyover. The display connected 250 years of American innovation to NASA's ongoing mission of discovery.
Scientists used machine learning to find 10,091 possible new planets hiding in data we already had, potentially doubling humanity's catalog of worlds beyond our solar system. The discovery shows we've barely scratched the surface of what's out there.
A groundbreaking satellite launched by NASA and India can peer through clouds to capture stunning images of Earth's surface, opening new possibilities for monitoring our changing planet. The mission features the largest radar antenna NASA has ever sent to space.
NASA just teamed up with 37 American companies to develop 41 cutting-edge space technologies that will help humans live on the Moon and explore Mars. The best part? It's a no-money partnership where companies get access to NASA's world-class facilities and experts while contributing their own innovation.
NASA's Glenn Research Center is now accepting applications for a free five-day summer engineering institute where high school students will tackle real aerospace challenges alongside NASA experts. Rising juniors and seniors can apply through May 1 for one of three sessions in July.
College teams just showed NASA how the next generation plans to power the moon. MIT students took top honors at NASA's 2026 innovation competition with a breakthrough lunar energy system that could support future Artemis missions.
Three researchers at NASA Ames are being celebrated for keeping critical space science projects on track and breaking new ground. Their work spans from making NASA data accessible to everyone to analyzing samples from an actual asteroid.
NASA is preparing to launch its first nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars by late 2028, marking a giant leap toward future crewed missions to the Red Planet. After touring Idaho National Laboratory, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman expressed confidence the ambitious timeline is achievable.
