A landmark day for Einstein and our understanding of the universe: the detection of gravitational waves. Brian Greene explains the discovery.
A new research has suggested that Planets Similar to Earth Have Identical Interiors.
Astronauts and NASA personnel look the future and where they think the space program will go next.
The astronomers who found it think the planet is rocky and resides within the habitable zone -- close enough to its host star to host liquid water.
Dwarf planet Ceres is shown in these false-color renderings, which highlight differences in surface materials. Images from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft were used to create a movie of Ceres rotating, followed by a flyover view of Occator Crater, home of Ceres’ brightest area.

Astronomers using ESO's leading exoplanet hunter HARPS have today announced more than fifty newly discovered planets around other stars. Among these are many rocky planets not much heavier than the Earth. One of them in particular seems to orbit in the habitable zone around its star. In this video news release we look at how astronomers discover these distant worlds and what the future may hold for finding rocky worlds like the Earth that may support life.
A quick look set to music of current and future NASA human space flight activities.
Astronauts bravely say they are ready to go on another spaceship as their 520-day simulated mission to Mars ends. .

Titan Saturn System Mission (TSSM) is a joint NASA/ESA proposal for an exploration of Saturn and its moons Titan and Enceladus, where many complex phenomena have been revealed by the recent Cassini Huygens mission.

Kepler-10b is an Earth-size exoplanet Please visit http://www.SpaceChronology.com Video and narration: Credit: NASA/Kepler Mission/Dana Berry NASA's Kepler mission confirmed the discovery of its first rocky planet, named Kepler-10b. Measuring 1.4 times the size of Earth, it is the smallest planet ever discovered outside our solar system. The discovery of this so-called exoplanet is based on more than eight months of data collected by the spacecraft from May 2009 to early January 2010. This video is narrated by Kepler Deputy Science Team Lead Natalie Batalha.
