If NASA's Perseverance rover finds life on the Red Planet, there's a good chance our first extraterrestrial encounter will be a little ambiguous.

A newly-discovered comet dubbed NEOWISE will be visible this week to the naked eye. It's the first visible comet of 2020.

Humans carry lots of microbes with them to space

But demand for ivory and rhino horn shows signs of falling, says UN wildlife crime report

Astronomers have detected a new signal from mysterious objects most likely located outside the Milky Way galaxy. This is the first instance such a signal has been detected, that too from four different objects. According to LiveScience, astronomers observed these four circular objects at radio wavelengths and found that they had bright edges.

Earth often has rosy and peach colored sunsets, but that's not the case on other planets.

Here's how the closest place to "hell" in our Solar System might actually be home to life.

A rotating black hole is such an extreme force of nature that it drags surrounding time and space around with it. So it is only natural to ask whether black holes could be used as some sort of energy source. In 1969, mathematical physicist Roger Penrose proposed a method to do just this, now known as the "Penrose Process."

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 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…

The bulky object—possibly the core of a failed gas giant—challenges what astronomers think about how planets form.

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

In late 2019 the red supergiant closest to Earth, Betelgeuse, began to rapidly fade in brightness. Initially thought to be a sign that the star was about to go supernova or that it experienced a dust storm, scientists have now found that it was caused by a gigantic star spot 10% colder than the rest of the star’s surface.

Tianwen-1, a “quest for heavenly truth,” aims for a orbiter-lander-rover trifecta

Scientists think a planet larger than Earth lurks in the far reaches of the solar system

Asteroids and comets pose "one of the most significant risks to human civilisation", it is claimed.

When you need a robotic arm in space, you call in the experts. Over the past several decades, the Canadian Space Agency has expertly provided robotic arms for the Space Shuttle and International Space Station. And now it will build the next-generation of robotic systems for going to the Moon, called Canadarm3.

From July 3 to 10, watch the Moon slide through Earth’s shadow and see Venus at its brightest.

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.
