Last July, a team of robots explored a simulated martian landscape in Germany, guided by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station. This was the final session of the Surface Avatar experiment, a joint initiative between ESA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to investigate how astronauts can remotely control robotic teams.
Scientists have tapped into gravitational lensing and stellar dynamics to confirm the existence of a black hole with 36 billion solar masses.
A bold new proposal envisions launching laser-propelled nanocraft to a nearby black hole to test Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
United Launch Alliance (ULA) hoists the USSF-106 mission payload atop the Vulcan rocket in the Government Vertical Integration Facility (VIF-G) adjacent to Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Jupiter's four Galilean moons will line up in front of Jupiter in the early morning sky on Aug. 8.
Understanding the early Universe is a foundational goal in space science. We're driven to understand Nature and how it evolved from a super-heated plasma after the Big Bang to the structured cosmos we see around us today. One critical moment in time was when the first stars, called Population 3 stars, ignited with fusion and lit up their surroundings.
Direct images from the James Webb Space Telescope show what could be a Saturn-mass planet around Alpha Centauri.
Scientists have developed an algorithm called Astroclimes, which transforms stargazing instruments into climate sensors that measure greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere.
Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence for a new exoplanet — one orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the nearest sun-like star to Earth.
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence of a giant planet orbiting a star in the stellar system closest to our own Sun. At just 4 light-years away from Earth, the Alpha Centauri triple star system has long been a compelling target in the search for worlds beyond our solar system.
August's full Sturgeon Moon rises this weekend, days before the Perseid meteor shower hits its peak.
A solar system model with a small projector built in, the Science Can Solar System Planetary Projector is a great educational tool for kids.
