There are more than 5,000 confirmed exoplanets in our galaxy. That number is going to rise significantly in the next decade. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has already cataloged more than 4,000 candidate exoplanets, and the PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) is scheduled to launch in 2026.
India's space agency Isro's new footage shows Chandrayaan-3's rover Pragyaan for the first time ever.
Russia’s Luna-25 mission ended in failure after crashing into the moon, space agency Roscosmos has announced.
We once thought the Moon was completely airless, but it turns out it has an atmosphere, after all. Even wilder: it has a tail of its own.
Microgravity research and technology development on the ISS will continue "full throttle" through the end of 2030, the agency says.
NASA astronaut Drew Feustel just joined to map its strategy.
Using nuclear fusion, Pulsar's rocket could dramatically increase travel speeds, aiming for tests by 2025 and fusion temperatures by 2027.
White holes are mathematically possible, according to general relativity. But does that mean they're actually out there?
Researchers have used a "gravitational lens" to reveal distant galaxies. The snapshot could help astronomers better understand dark matter.
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new giant exoplanet transiting a nearby M-dwarf star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-4860 b, is comparable in size and mass to Saturn. The finding is reported in a paper published August 2 on the pre-print...
The three spacecraft will be unleashed on the moon with only high-level orders.

Extraordinarily high-energy gamma rays have been found emanating from the sun, and none of our theoretical models can explain why there are so many of them
The European Space Agency's ambitious Euclid space telescope is on its way to decoding the secrets of dark matter and dark energy.
The James Webb Space Telescope detected water vapor swirling around a planetary system 370 light-years away.
Haley's Coronet is at war with its neighboring dwarf galaxy, and it's a gravitational struggle the latter is bound to lose.
New research conducted by scientists from NASA and Japan’s Osaka University suggests that rogue planets, or worlds that drift through space untethered to a star, significantly outnumber planets that orbit stars. The results indicate that NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, scheduled for launch
The jug-like structure is a rare and short-lived double-lobed planetary nebula.
While U.S. Space Force thus far has split National Security Space Launch (NSSL) between SpaceX and United Launch Alliance (ULA), the service plans to have one more provider by the end of NSSL Phase 3 to guarantee Space Force can reach high-priority orbits when needed.
The 'ultracool' star is possibly around 44 times as dense as our solar system's largest member—the gas giant Jupiter.
Apollo 11 was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC, and Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface six hours and 39 minutes later, on July 21 at 02:56...
