Odysseus is part of a venture between Intuitive Machines and NASA and the first American craft to land on the Moon since 1972.
Just one gram of antimatter could generate an explosion equivalent to a nuclear bomb. It's that kind of energy, some say, that could boldly take us where no one has gone before at record speed.
The gigantic galaxies we see in the Universe today, including our own Milky Way galaxy, started out far smaller.
A few years ago, astronomers uncovered one of the Milky Way's greatest secrets: an enormous, wave-shaped chain of gaseous clouds in our sun's backyard, giving birth to clusters of stars along the spiral arm of the our galaxy.
The icy dwarf planets Eris and Makemake have surfaces bearing methane ice of unknown origin. The two planets may have warm oceans.
New measurements by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft show higher than model-predicted levels of interstellar dust as the spacecraft approaches the putative outer edge of the Kuiper Belt.
The quasar – named J0529-4351 – is both the most luminous object known to date and the fastest-growing black hole currently known.
Does life appear independently on different planets in the galaxy? Or does it spread from world to world? Or does it do both? New research shows how life could spread via a basic, simple pathway: cosmic dust.
For a quiet, dusty lump of a planet we see today, Mars has had a surprisingly violent history, one that could reveal some clues about Earth.
NASA, the main sponsor with experiments on board, hopes to jumpstart lunar economy ahead of astronaut missions.
Scientists identified water on two main-belt asteroids, 7 Iris and 20 Massalia, using data from the now-defunct SOFIA airborne observatory.
Scientists have discovered that a pair of rings circling an asteroid-like chunk of rock in the cold reaches of space out past Jupiter are likely being shepherded by a tiny, unseen moonlet.
By analyzing the images obtained with Pan-STARRS, astronomers have serendipitously discovered a new protoplanetary disk located some 800 light years away.
On new recently released NASA images show the moons of Saturn in all their glory, as if they came straight out of the pages of science fiction.
NASA scientists are just getting started in their analysis of fragments brought back from the Bennu asteroid, and the early indications are that the material it contains originated from an ancient ocean world.
