So far, no space exploring nations have claimed responsibility for the rocket. 

According to a new NASA laboratory experiment, rovers may have to dig about 6.6 feet (two meters) or more under the Martian surface to find signs of ancient life because ionizing radiation from space degrades small molecules such as amino acids relatively quickly.

The celestial show, best viewed between June 17 and June 27, will be the last time the five brightest planets cluster in the sky until 2040.

The British government announced a series of measures June 23, from regulations to funding active debris removal projects, intended to make the country a leader in space sustainability. George Freeman, minister for science, research and innovation, announced a package called the Plan for Space Sustainability intended to create a standard that will encourage companies, along with investors and insurers, to adopt best practices for sustainable space operations.

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will align in the sky and shine especially bright during its peak on June 24.

The Mercury-bound probe BepiColombo has taken its second look at its target planet today during a superclose flyby designed to slow the spacecraft down and adjust its trajectory.

The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted evidence of a white dwarf star devouring rocky and icy material from its own system, suggesting that water and other volatiles might be common in the outer reaches of planetary systems.

In late 2021, operators of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Swarm constellation noticed something worrying: The satellites, which measure the magnetic field around Earth, started sinking toward the atmosphere at an unusually fast rate — up to 10 times faster than before. The change coincided with the onset of the new solar cycle, and experts think it might be the beginning of some difficult years for spacecraft orbiting our planet.

A sunspot pointing toward Earth has the potential to cause solar flares, but experts told USA TODAY it's far from unusual and eased concerns over how flares would affect the Blue Planet.

Scientific American reports that NASA is preparing to wind down the Voyager mission, which has endured for over ten times its original projected length. By powering down...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope got thwacked, and it’ll probably get thwacked again.

No expensive camera equipment used.

The finding settles a long-standing debate about the gas giant's formation.

“NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover — please tidy up after yourself.”

"This is a source of challenge in every launcher development."

Accretion is one of the most fundamental processes in the cosmos. It is a universal phenomenon triggered by gravity, and the process by which bits of matter accumulate and coalesce with more bits of matter. It works inexorably on all scales to attract and affix smaller things to bigger things, from the tiniest dust grains to supermassive black holes.

The signals were detected in narrow-band radio frequencies, which typically only come from artificial sources.

MIT astronomers discovered a multiplanet system just 33 light-years from Earth, making it one of the closest known multiplanet systems. The system likely hosts at least two terrestrial, Earth-sized planets.

Astronomers studying fast radio bursts recently discovered one that repeats, has a persistent radio signal and originated in a galaxy much closer than it should have.

According to NASA, the moon will be full from Sunday moonrise to Wednesday moonset. It will peak at 7:52 a.m. ET on Tuesday, but will not be completely visible until moonrise in North America. The strawberry moon this year is the first of two supermoons in a row.
