It’s round two for both United Launch Alliance and its customer, Amazon. Monday, June 16, will be ULA’s second Atlas 5 launch of the year and the second batch of Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellites launched to date.
We love the design of the Juzihao Star Projector, but despite its size, its projections don't have the biggest reach.
The search for life beyond Earth is a holy grail quest for many experts, but finding where to look is a core issue.
The film shows never-before-seen footage taken by the JWST film crew as the telescope was being assembled.
"It's like looking for candlelight in close vicinity to a flashlight that's blazing toward us."
Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have made an exciting discovery about the early universe. They found dozens of small galaxies that played a huge role in transforming our cosmos from a dark, foggy place into the bright, clear universe we see today.
Solar sails represent one of the most elegant concepts in space exploration: using sunlight itself to propel spacecraft through the cosmos without any fuel. But these thin, light giants face a stubborn engineering challenge that has plagued missions since their inception; keeping control while riding the solar wind.
Thanks to observatories like the venerable Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and its next-generation cousin, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers are finally getting the chance to study galaxies that existed just one billion years after the Big Bang. This period is known as "Cosmic Dawn" because it was during this period that the first stars formed and came together to create the first galaxies in the Universe. The study of these galaxies has revealed some surprising and fascinating things that are allowing astronomers to learn how large-scale structures in the Universe came to be and how they've evolved since.
It might come from a long time ago, but Cosmic Encounter is still one of the greatest board games in the galaxy.
11 bit studios' sci-fi adventure makes you team leader and asks you to balance base-building, survival, branching narratives, and keeping your team motivated.
On Episode 165 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik talk with NASA astronaut Nick Hague, the first U.S. Space Force Guardian to launch to the International Space Station in that role.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin has revealed the six people who will fly on the company's 13th space tourism mission, though a launch date has not yet been announced.
Celebrities William Shatner and Neil deGrasse Tyson lead the “Universe is Absurd” show, which is hosted by Future of Space.
With this week's expected arrival of a visiting crew delayed, science and maintenance work on board the International Space Station was lighter than usual for the Expedition 73 crew.
The James Webb Space Telescope has notched another milestone, capturing a direct image of one of the coldest and oldest known exoplanets.
The coverage offered by the Fliti Galaxy Projector is incredible, but it doesn’t have the best build quality.
The lagoon nebulas were observed under the near-pristine dark skies of northern Arizona.
During the latter part of June, Mars will put on a couple of eye-catching shows, teaming up first with a bright star and then, late this month, with the moon.
We don't know what dark matter is, but that doesn't stop astronomers from using it to their advantage. Dark matter is part of what makes gravitational lensing so effective. Astronomers expect the Roman Space Telescope to find 160,000 gravitational lenses, and dark matter makes a crucial contribution to these lenses.
Space visionaries, scientists, entrepreneurs and students from around the world are set to gather in Florida next week for this year's International Space Development Conference.
