The most distant moon since March 2020 takes to the sky today, but you won't be able to see it.

Rocket Lab launched its HASTE suborbital vehicle for the sixth time ever on Tuesday (Nov. 18), sending several test payloads up for the U.S. military.

The latest 'Predator' is a fun throwback to the '80s and '90s, when silliness and comedy were a key part of the action formula

We rate the DJI Mini 4K as our best beginner drone, but it's even better when you buy it with these handy accessory packs, with savings of at least 20%

The Pleiades star cluster is part of a much larger complex that stretches across the entire sky, a new study shows.

When a severe G4 geomagnetic storm hit, this Dreamliner pilot had the perfect front-row seat.

Astronomer Gianluca Masi captured breathtaking imagery of solar system comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) breaking into multiple pieces after being warmed by the sun.

Katalyst Space Technologies will use Northrop Grumman's air-launched Pegasus rocket for its upcoming mission, which will send a spacecraft to boost the orbit of NASA's Swift space telescope.

The Very Large Telescope's interferometer targeted four lasers toward the Tarantula Nebula to create an artificial star.

Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole within a galaxy just 570 million years after the Big Bang. Part of a class of small, very distant galaxies that have mystified astronomers, CANUCS-LRD-z8.6 represents a vital piece of this puzzle and challenges existing theories about the formation of galaxies and black holes in the early Universe. The discovery connects early black holes with the luminous quasars we observe today.

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera has identified a never-before-seen crater on the moon's surface.

SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites in a nighttime liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Tuesday (Nov. 18).

The data is starting to reveal how galaxies and their black holes evolve.

"It sounds like science fiction or the stuff of Hollywood movies."

"His planet's dying, too. We're here for the same reason."

"We really needed the sensitivity of JWST. We also needed the 100 times magnification from gravitational lensing from a galaxy cluster between us and LAP1-B."

A supernova is a powerful and luminous stellar explosion. This transient astronomical event occurs during the last evolutionary stages of a massive star or when a white dwarf is triggered into runaway nuclear fusion. The explosion marks the ultimate demise of the star and briefly outshines an entire galaxy, radiating as much energy as the Sun is expected to emit over its entire lifespan.
