Thanks to Eau de Space, you can buy NASA's "smell of space" as a perfume.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of a distant galaxy called NGC 2775 that sits 67 million light-years from Earth. The galaxy is packed with young stars and features a wide-open bulge in…

NASA's Perseverance rover hopes to answer our biggest burning question about Mars history: Did the red planet once host life? The dry, dusty Mars we know today was very different in the deep past. Humanity's latest rover is making a beeline for an area of Mars that was once home to a lake, a perfect place to look for signs of ancient microbes.

The recent unusual behaviour of the star Betelgeuse could finally have been explained, after new work by astronomers. The star has been dimming strangely in recent months, with scientists speculating that it could be about to explode into a supernova or was otherwise being subject to an unknown process. Now new research has shown that the most likely explanation of the dimming is large star spots on Betelgeuse's surface, which have caused it to dim.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine announced Wednesday the agency’s headquarters building in Washington, D.C., will be named after Mary W. Jackson, the first African American female engineer at NASA.

NASA wants you to help put the loo in lunar, so it's offering $35,000 in prizes to design a toilet that can be used on the moon.

NASA is about to fly a rotorcraft on another planet for the first time. And for the engineers who built the Mars Ingenuity helicopter, it's a Wright brothers moment.

Later this year, astronauts on the American module of the ISS will be able to test out the toilet before NASA puts it on crewed vehicles for deep-space missions.

Shares of Virgin Galactic shares jumped Monday after it signed an agreement with NASA that will allow the space tourism venture to train astronauts for trips to the International Space Station on flights to the edge of space. The company — which is publicly traded but largely owned by founder Richard Branson and chairman Chamath Palihapitiya — announced on Monday that it signed a “Space Act Agreement” with NASA’s Johnson Space Center, which leads the agency’s astronaut program in Houston.

SpaceX is looking to add an offshore rocket launch facility to the infrastructure it’s building in south Texas, according to SpaceX job postings.

Astronauts have created "exotic matter" on board the International Space Station. The experiment used the microgravity of space to generate and study matter in ways that would not be possible on

A possible new mission called Trident is one of four concepts being considered for NASA's Discovery Program mission. Trident aims to explore Neptune's strange moon Triton.

A rocket ship designed and built by Elon Musk's SpaceX company has lifted off with two Americans on a history-making flight to the International Space Station.

Wednesday's scheduled launch of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule with astronauts aboard would be not only the first crewed launch to orbit by a private corporation but also a major upset in a new kind of space race.

On Wednesday afternoon, two NASA astronauts are set to take off from Kennedy Space Center aboard a capsule built by Elon Musk’s space company.

Another first on an already historic flight

Russia has lost its long-held monopoly as the only country able to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station following the flawless manned launch by US company SpaceX. The Russian space agency congratulated the United States and Mr Elon Musk's SpaceX on the first crewed flight ever by a private company, but experts said the launch should be a wake-up call for Roscosmos.

US astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken have docked with the International Space Station (ISS). Their Dragon capsule - supplied and operated by the private SpaceX company - edged them into port on the high-flying lab's bow section. The men will have to wait for leak and pressure checks to be completed before they can disembark and join the Russian and American crew already on the ISS. Hurley and Behnken launched from Florida on Saturday.

SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft made history for the second time on Sunday. On May 25, 2012, a Cargo Dragon was grabbed by the ISS. It became the first private spacecraft to visit the International Space Station. On Sunday, when Dragonship Endeavour docked with the station 15 minutes ahead of schedule, above the border of China and Mongolia, it became the first private spacecraft to fly crew there (or anywhere in orbit, for that matter).
