An international team of astronomers has produced the first detailed images of the surface of a giant star outside our solar system.
Contrary to what was expected, a team of astronomers has discovered that kilonova event has been brightening ever since it first appeared.
As our sun gets older, it's losing mass, and so its gravitational pull becomes weaker. As a result, the orbits of all the planets in our solar system are expanding.
It's Surprisingly Like Earth. Saturn moon's three biggest puddles have a common equipotential surface – a sea level, just like our own oceans.
Galaxy cluster ACT-CLJ0102-4915, or “El Gordo” contains the mass of a staggering three million billion suns. It is the largest, hottest, and brightest X-ray galaxy cluster ever discovered in the distant Universe.
Roughly 1300 light-years from Earth lies the Orion Nebula. A team at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in US created this zoom into the stellar nursery and a 3D visualization.
Researchers have identified eight, massive sheets of ice just below the Martian surface, and they appear to be relatively young deposits.
For the first time in history, a crowdsourced team of amateur citizen scientists has discovered a multi-planetary system.
Astronomers have made the first definitive interstellar detection of benzonitrile, an intriguing organic molecule. This discovery is a vital clue in a 30-year-old mystery: identifying the source of a faint infrared glow that permeates the Milky Way and other galaxies.
Virgin Galactic’s passenger rocket ship is gearing up for powered flights that could eventually carry paying tourists into space from southern New Mexico, US.
A NASA update outlines what the two participating companies — Boeing and SpaceX — will do to prepare their vehicles for space in the coming year.
Among the key spaceflight milestones we're most eager to see in 2018 are - Falcon Heavy flies, Block 5 booster, LightSail 2 and launching to Mars.
This is SpaceX's third classified mission, and arguably its most secretive flight.
Using the now-complete Cassini data set, astronomers have created a new global topographic map of Titan.
