Scientists have discovered the strongest evidence to date for a stratosphere on a planet outside our solar system.
NASA is working on the most powerful rocket ever built: the Space Launch System. What could it be used for to explore the Solar System?
Analyzing a galaxy through a gravitational lens, astronomers obtained images 10 times sharper than Hubble could see on its own.
An Indian teenager makes the lightest satellite to be launched by NASA next month.
A study from NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes reveals that the distant planet HAT-P-26b has a primitive atmosphere composed almost entirely of hydrogen and helium.
The WFIRST mission, the next in the agency’s line of powerful observatories after the Hubble and James Webb telescopes to probe the make-up of planets around nearby stars and a bigger-than-expected launch vehicle.
The satellite's new capabilities from the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) mean forecasters can predict severe weather more accurately. in this in turn could help disaster preparedness and response to tornadoes and hurricanes.
Over the last few years electronics based on the semiconductor silicon carbide (SiC) have started to mature. Those properties make it a very suitable candidate for computing on Venus.
New research details the longest black hole brunch ever studied, in which a supermassive giant ripped apart a neighboring star and feasted on it for almost 10 years.
