NASA's Roman Space Telescope is about to reveal 100,000 previously unknown planets across our galaxy, helping scientists understand how worlds form in different cosmic neighborhoods. The mission will explore uncharted regions of the Milky Way, including Earth's birthplace near the galactic center.
Astronomers discovered two pairs of Jupiter-sized planets floating through space without a star, strengthening evidence that these mysterious objects are real. The finding comes from a different region of the Milky Way than previous discoveries.
Eileen Collins went from a traumatic childhood in upstate New York to commanding a space shuttle, and her story just became an inspiring documentary. The film shows how she shattered barriers while balancing motherhood and the emotional weight of dangerous missions.
Scientists just discovered a planet where clouds made of rocky minerals appear every morning and vanish by nightfall. The James Webb Space Telescope gave astronomers their clearest view yet into this bizarre alien world.
Japan Airlines is partnering with a space startup to send cultural treasures to the moon, protecting humanity's heritage from climate change and conflict. The project marks the airline's first venture into space exploration.
China is merging its robotic and human spaceflight programs into one unified effort to land astronauts on the moon by 2030. The integration brings together decades of expertise from both programs to accelerate the nation's lunar exploration timeline.
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.
Scientists discovered a giant planet where clouds made of minerals appear every morning and disappear by nightfall. The James Webb Space Telescope captured this wild daily weather cycle 700 light years from Earth.
The Artemis 2 mission did more than showcase our return to the moon. It exposed a fixable problem in how thousands of suppliers work together that could make future space missions faster and cheaper.
NASA just unveiled its most detailed timeline yet for building a permanent lunar base the size of a small city. The ambitious plan kicks off this year with robot scouts, leading to a sprawling home for astronauts at the moon's south pole within twelve years.
Two Russian cosmonauts successfully completed a six-hour spacewalk outside the International Space Station, installing a telescope that will help scientists better predict dangerous solar flares. The mission showcased international cooperation in space while advancing our ability to understand the sun's behavior.
College students across America are designing and building robots that could help NASA construct the future on the Moon. Forty-seven teams just competed at Kennedy Space Center, testing their lunar construction bots on terrain that mimics the Moon's surface.
NASA just showed off the first rovers and landers heading to the moon's south pole, bringing us closer to a permanent lunar base by 2030. Two private companies won contracts to build solar-powered vehicles that will scout terrain before astronauts arrive.
NASA just announced sweeping contracts worth hundreds of millions to build humanity's first permanent lunar base, complete with rovers, drones, and landing infrastructure. The ambitious plan includes over a dozen missions starting this year to establish a base spanning hundreds of square miles near the Moon's South Pole.
Less than two months after astronauts flew around the moon, NASA is already ordering landers, rovers, and drones for humanity's first lunar base. The space agency just awarded hundreds of millions in contracts to make permanent moon living a reality by the 2030s.
NASA will reveal the four astronauts heading to the Moon during a live event on June 9, marking the next giant leap in returning humans to lunar exploration. The Artemis III mission will test crucial technology needed to land people on the Moon's surface for the first time in over 50 years.
NASA is purchasing landers, rovers, and drones for humanity's first permanent lunar base, racing to get equipment on the moon before astronauts arrive in 2028. The base will span hundreds of square miles and pave the way for Mars exploration.
NASA just unveiled its roadmap to build humanity's first lunar base at the moon's south pole, starting with 25 robotic missions in the next three years. The ambitious plan trades complexity for speed, focusing resources directly on the lunar surface instead of orbital stations.
NASA is building humanity's first permanent lunar base near the Moon's south pole, with robotic missions launching this fall and astronauts returning by 2027. The ambitious project could pave the way for future Mars exploration while establishing a lasting human presence beyond Earth.
Japan's newest space cargo vehicle just wrapped up a perfect first flight, delivering supplies to astronauts and testing breakthrough technologies that could shape the future of space exploration. The HTV-X1 mission marks a major leap forward for JAXA's next generation of spacecraft.
