NASA's Perseverance rover can now pinpoint its exact location on Mars without help from Earth, paving the way for longer, more autonomous exploration.

Why do some places wait 1,000 years to see a total solar eclipse while others get two in a decade? The surprising orbital mechanics behind where eclipses happen — and don't.

By taking advantage of a maneuver that would see a spacecraft fire rocket engines while in the solar corona, that spacecraft’s velocity could receive a huge boost — enough to allow it to catch up with 3I/ATLAS, which is the fastest comet ever seen.

Two SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets, each carrying Starlink satellites, launched from California and Florida on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026. The second booster set a new reuse record.

I tried out Canon's latest vlogging camera for astrophotography, the PowerShot V1 and managed to capture the Andromeda galaxy and the Milky Way!

Is an orbiting space station necessary to achieve lunar objectives, including scientific ones?

Arnie said, "Get your ass to Mars", but is it really a good idea? We asked the experts about our Martian future.

Astronomers suspect the heart of the Milky Way may be hiding a big secret: a rapidly spinning, highly magnetic, neutron star-powered pulsar.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have investigated 70 dusty galaxies at the very edge of the universe that challenge our understanding of cosmic evolution.

The lovable old-school Toy Story gang takes on mesmerizing modern digital devices in the first trailer for Pixar's "Toy Story 5."

The NASA/JAXA X-ray spacecraft has allowed astronomers to dive into the metaphorical "eye of the storm" swirling around supermassive black holes.

NASA announced today (Feb. 20) that it’s targeting March 6 for the liftoff of Artemis 2, which will be the first crewed mission to go beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 back in 1972.

Can we use fungus to mine precious metals from asteroids?

Firefly Aerospace is gearing up for the seventh liftoff of its Alpha rocket on Feb. 27, after two explosive events in 2025 stalled development of the launch vehicle.

ESA's Proba-2 satellite captured a stunning 'ring of fire' annular solar eclipse from orbit — a view few on Earth could see.

Uranus and Neptune will also be on the scene, too dim to see with the naked eye.
