When humans build the first bases and habitats on other worlds, they'll confront dangers and challenges unlike any faced by the astronauts who went before them. To prepare for such challenges, scientists are descending deep underground into lava tubes in Hawaii that simulate conditions on rocky alien worlds.

Scientists at NASA have reported an exciting detection by its Insight lander on Mars - mysterious rumblings coming from the interior of the planet. The researchers believe the seismic events may be caused by a sudden release of energy from the planet's interior, but the nature of that release remains unknown and puzzling.

Its first flight will take place "no earlier" than April 11th.

With all eyes on the development of China’s space technologies, one vital area has been overlooked: the swelling wave of a unique Chinese “space culture.”

With one end of a steel cable hovering in Earth's orbit and the other end somewhere in outer space, the concept of a futuristic floating

In the nearly galaxy M87, more than 50 million light years from Earth, a supermassive black hole feeds on vast clouds of gas and dust. Jets, more than 5,000 light years long, erupt from this enigmatic body six billion times more massive than the Sun. In 2019, the first detailed images ever recorded of the region around a black hole were released, showing a bright ring-like structure surrounding a dark void.

SpaceX chief Elon Musk confirmed on Twitter Tuesday that the latest prototype of the company's Starship rocket series had crashed, after the video feed of its test flight cut out.

The Event Horizon Telescope project, which produced the world's first image of a black hole in 2019 in the M87 galaxy, unveiled a new view of its magnetic fields as captured by polarized light.

Astronomers have detected X-rays from Uranus for the first time, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This result may help scientists learn more about this enigmatic ice giant planet in our solar system.

Perseverance is continuing its littering on Mars in a controlled fashion, as it gets ready to deploy the first helicopter on the Red Planet.

Astronomers have searched the entire Milky Way to identify the safest places to live. It turns out, we're in a pretty good spot. But if the past year has made you feel ready to relocate to another planet, you might want to look toward the center of the galaxy, according to the new research.

‘Probably most “in space” you could possibly feel by being in a glass dome”, Elon Musk tweeted

Whether for breathing or sending rockets back home, we'll need to make oxygen on Mars. Soon, we'll know if it's possible.

NASA announced this week that Earth will remain safe from the threat of a specific asteroid's impact for at least the next 100 years.

The unusual pattern of radio waves dubbed the USS Jellyfish tells a story of intergalactic gas meeting black hole by-products.

Robotic rovers like Perseverance are great, but they can’t answer the most fundamental questions about the Red Planet

A piece of the Wright brothers’ first airplane is on Mars.

The first known visitor from interstellar space, 'Oumuamua, was likely a pancake-shaped chip off a Pluto-like world, researchers say. These findings may shed light on the stuff a new class of planet, an exo-Pluto, is made of, scientists added.

NASA is shifting direction in its effort to support development of commercial space stations, with plans to issue a series of awards for initial studies.
