Satellites keep watching as the Mauna Loa volcano on Hawaii's Big Island continues spewing geysers of boiling lava and plumes of volcanic ash over a week after it woke up from a 38-year sleep.

The NASA Orion spacecraft captured incredible footage of two big moon craters during a close flyby on Monday (Dec. 5). All you need to see them yourself is a small telescope.

NASA's Mars Ingenuity helicopter set a new altitude record on Sunday (Dec. 3), getting 46 feet (14 meters) up on its 35th Red Planet flight.

NASA's media team incorporated an advanced 'Moonboard' touchscreen to help viewers understand the launch of the SLS rocket and Orion's journey around the moon.

The Orion spacecraft flew over the landing sites where Apollo astronauts roamed in the 1960s and 1970s. The Artemis program, however, will find different rocks.

There simply isn't enough normal matter to account for the amount of gravitational force needed to hold the universe together, meaning dark matter must be prevalent.

Orion is on track to return home, where it will splash down in the Pacific Ocean on Dec. 11, if all goes according to plan.

The life-support system for generating livable conditions inside the Orion capsule is not being fully tested during the spaceship's debut uncrewed mission Artemis 1.

We GPS all the time but how does it work and why was it invented? Here we explore this vital space-based technology.

The Orion spacecraft had a brief power issue on Sunday (Dec. 4) but did complete its planned engine burn to return home as planned today.

This week offers multiple opportunities to get a great look at Mars thanks to several livestreams of Red Planet astronomical events.

An exclusive interview with "Andor's" VFX producer TJ Falls and sound editor David Acord reveals how the gritty, realistic feel of the series was created.

Ground has finally been broken today at two sites in Africa and Australia that will host the Square Kilometer Array Observatory (SKAO), the largest radio telescope in the world.

A plume of searing hot rock as wide as the continental U.S. is rising up from near the core of Mars and might help explain recent volcanism and earthquakes seen at the Red Planet, scientists say.

The team behind NASA's Lucy asteroid mission is resuming work with the spacecraft to fully deploy and latch its second solar array after a recent successful Earth flyby.

A new image shows the exposed heart of a distant galaxy in stunning detail, demonstrating the promise of a recent addition to the Very Large Telescope.

Astronomers observed a major eruption from a volcanic comet flying through the solar system, likely spewing more than 1 million tons of debris into space.

Spaceports are our gateway to the stars, from the early days of the cold war to modern commercial flights.

While distant Uranus will be covered in the night sky for many observers, amateur astronomers in other parts of Earth will be able to use the proximity of the moon and Uranus to spot the ice giant.

Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have created a stunning image of a cosmic fireworks display resulting from the explosion of a massive star.

NASA's Artemis 1 Orion capsule will perform a crucial engine burn during a flyby of the moon on Monday morning (Dec. 5), and you can follow the action live.
