America is returning to the Moon with a bold new plan: one lunar mission every year starting in 2028. NASA just announced major changes to its Artemis program that will speed up exploration and establish humanity's first Moon base.
A revolutionary telescope just started sending scientists 800,000 nightly alerts about changes in the universe, from exploding stars to new asteroids. Within a year, it will capture more cosmic objects than all other observatories combined throughout human history.
A retired couple in Tamil Nadu turned half an acre into a thriving mini forest and now shares their organic farming wisdom with thousands for free. Their online classes have inspired homemakers to earn income and neighbors to transform their own spaces into productive gardens.
SpaceX pulled off back-to-back rocket launches from opposite coasts on Sunday, landing both boosters and adding 54 new satellites to its growing internet network. The achievement shows how reusable rockets are making space access faster and cheaper than ever.
On March 3, 2026, millions of people across North America, Asia, and Australia witnessed a spectacular total lunar eclipse that painted the Moon a deep, rusty red. The celestial show brought communities together under the night sky to share in a moment of natural wonder.
A new approach treats public parks as democracy-building tools, not just green spaces. The Trust for Public Land created a framework showing how community-led parks strengthen civic engagement where it matters most.
After fixing technical issues, NASA is targeting April 1 to launch four astronauts around the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. The historic Artemis II mission will mark humanity's return to deep space exploration.
NASA is ramping up its Artemis program with a new 2027 test mission and plans to land astronauts on the Moon's South Pole in 2028, then launch one lunar mission every year after that. The agency is streamlining its rocket systems to make the Moon more accessible than ever before.
NASA just announced an accelerated timeline to return astronauts to the Moon, with plans for annual lunar missions beginning in 2028. The space agency is adding a new test mission and streamlining its rocket design to make Moon exploration a regular occurrence for the first time in human history.
Scientists just figured out how astronauts could turn their own sewage into Martian farming gold. The breakthrough brings us closer to building permanent homes on the Red Planet.
A rover company and a mining startup are teaming up to harvest a rare element from the lunar surface, with testing starting this year. As SpaceX and NASA ramp up Moon missions, the dream of extracting valuable resources from space is becoming real.
A 24-year-old aerospace engineer from Bengaluru just set a world record by building a fully functional arcade machine smaller than a AA battery. The tiny device plays Space Invaders and proves that massive dreams can fit in microscopic packages.
An Australian company just made aerospace history by successfully flying a hypersonic aircraft over five times the speed of sound. The breakthrough puts Australia at the forefront of one of the world's most challenging technologies.
NASA's Curiosity rover is wrapping up months of exploration in a unique Martian terrain called the boxwork unit, capturing stunning 360-degree panoramas and analyzing rock samples that could reveal ancient secrets about the Red Planet. The rover is now preparing to climb higher up Mount Sharp to continue its groundbreaking mission.
Researchers discovered how to use gravitational waves to solve one of physics' biggest mysteries: why we get different answers when measuring how fast the universe is growing. This breakthrough could finally end the decade-long "Hubble tension" debate.
Astronomers discovered the tightest quadruple star system ever found, packed so densely the inner three stars could fit inside Mercury's orbit. Scientists even mapped out the system's fate 276 million years into the future.
After two unsuccessful attempts, Space One is launching its Kairos rocket today, aiming to deliver five satellites to orbit. The Tokyo startup dreams of launching 30 missions per year by the 2030s.
Scientists from the University of Portsmouth and Saudi space company SARsatX are designing a new Earth observation satellite to tackle climate challenges together. The mission brings two countries together to monitor our changing planet and build lasting partnerships in space science.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just revealed stunning new images of a cosmic cloud nicknamed the "Exposed Cranium" that looks remarkably like a brain scan. The dying star's colorful finale, captured 5,000 light-years away, is helping scientists understand how stars seed the universe with materials for future worlds.
The James Webb Space Telescope spotted the most distant jellyfish galaxy ever seen, revealing that the early universe was far more violent and dynamic than scientists expected. The discovery shows galaxies were being dramatically reshaped 8.5 billion years ago.
