Austrian researches have started a three-week simulated mission to Mars in Oman's barren desert.
Scientists have been hard at work trying to determine the densities of the TRAPPIST-1 planets, and it looks like water is abundant in the TRAPPIST system.
SpaceX launches Falcon Heavy; Elon Musk's Tesla is enroute Mars' orbit.
If successful, Falcon Heavy will be the most powerful working rocket in use, the rocket that could go to Mars.
An international team of astronomers has discovered one of the most extreme instances of magnification by gravitational lensing.
Astrophysicists have discovered for the first time a population of planets beyond the Milky Way galaxy. Researchers were able to detect objects in extragalactic galaxies that range from the mass of the Moon to the mass of Jupiter.
Thanks to a new study by a team of Spanish researchers, the oldest star in the Milky Way may have finally been discovered.
The simulation consists of 18 simulations covering various scales - each a cubic mock-up of space up to 1 billion light years wide - tracing the evolution of the Universe from just after the Big Bang into the future.
New ALMA telescope observations have uncovered the surprisingly clear chemical "fingerprints" of the complex organic molecules methanol, dimethyl ether, and methyl formate.
Results from the first data release of the Dark Energy Survey include eleven new stellar streams in the Milky Way galaxy.
InSight is the next member of what could be called a fleet of human vehicles destined for Mars. The mission will try to understand the deeper structure of Mars.
This was the "Humanity Star," a disco ball-like geodesic sphere, which measures about 1 meter in diameter. It is reflecting a philosophy that by going into space, humans can improve our lives on Earth.
It’s been less than a year since astronomers detected TRAPPIST-1, a remarkable star system located 39 light years from Earth. New research suggests life could take root on at least two of these planet.
The Xinjiang Qitai 110-meter Radio Telescope ( QTT ) could help advance research on dark matter, gravitational waves, and extraterrestrial intelligence.
An international team of astronomers has produced the first detailed images of the surface of a giant star outside our solar system.
