Using data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, an international team has discovered a new exoplanet twice the size of Earth. It orbits its star every six days and is about 10 times closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Hubble Space telescope snapped a series of stunning images of auroras dancing in the sky. The observations were taken before and after the Saturnian northern summer solstice.
Two years after launch, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has snapped its first pictures of asteroid Bennu, setting the stage for a cautious approach designed to put the probe in orbit around its quarry on New Year’s Eve.
The red points in the picture above are areas around the world with fires actively burning, accurate as of Thursday. It doesn't look great.
In addition to the Space Launch System (SLS) and the Orion spacecraft, NASA have teamed up with Lockheed Martin and other contractors to develop the Deep Space Gateway.
The US space agency launches a probe that aims to travel closer to the Sun than ever before.
Recent observations by NASA's Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes of ultrahot Jupiter-like planets have perplexed theorists. The spectra of these planets have suggested they have improbable compositions.
As part of their 3D-Printed Habitat Centennial Challenge, NASA recently awarded five teams with a total of $100,000 for their designs for Martian habitats.
Nexus for Exoplanet Systems Science, or NExSS project's mission is to be able detect extraterrestrial “biosignatures” using current and future technologies.
The James Webb Space Telescope would be the most complex imaging hardware that NASA has attempted to put into space. But so far, that complexity has driven extensive delays.
NASA’s Juno spacecraft took this color-enhanced image on May 23, 2018 24), as the spacecraft performed its 13th close flyby of Jupiter. At the time, Juno was 15,500 kilometers from the planet’s cloud tops.
The finding has significant implications for whether life once existed on Mars.
The merger of two neutron stars generated gravitational waves and high-energy gamma radiation and detected last August likely produced a record low-mass black hole.
On NASA’s Exoplanet Exploration website, you can explore an imagined surface of an alien world via 360-degree, interactive visualizations.
Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite – TESS – has snapped a stunning test photo showing an estimated 200,000 stars cantered on the southern constellation Centaurus.
