It's been a full month since Kelly Haston moved to 'Mars.' As commander of NASA's CHAPEA mission, Haston and her three crewmates volunteered to live for more than a year inside 'Mars Dune Alpha.'

The event horizon is a critical concept in astrophysics, particularly in the study of black holes. It refers to the boundary around a black hole beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape its gravitational pull. Once an object or light crosses the event horizon, it is said to be inside the black hole and can never return to the outside universe.

SpaceX could break the record for the shortest time between Cape Canaveral launches Thursday night if it can launch a Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy in quick succession. But achieving that assumes the weather cooperates and any technical issues with the Falcon Heavy can be resolved.

SpaceX's Falcon Heavy was photographed from space by Maxar Technologies before the rocket launches their largest satellite ever.

The world’s largest array of sun-monitoring radio telescopes has begun trial operations in southwest China.

SpaceX could launch two rockets just 44 minutes apart tonight (July 27), if all goes according to plan.

One astrophysicist is suggesting we remove Saturn's status as a gas giant, saying the planet tried but didn't quite make the cut.

SpaceX and NASA are working to include Starship in an architecture of low Earth orbit opportunities by considering the massive spacecraft for use as a space station.

Check out this exclusive clip of Ben Kingsley in "Jules," a new sci-fi comedy about an elderly man befriending an extraterrestrial who crashed to Earth.

Denmark's Andreas Mogensen will fly to the International Space Station on SpaceX's Crew-7 mission while the sun is active, and hopes to catch auroras on camera.

Scientists measured the innate "twinkling" of three stars as waves of energy traveled from their cores to their surfaces. Then, the team set their findings to a familiar and apt tune.

Can it fill the boots of the powerful A7R IV? We tested Sony's newest full-frame mirrorless camera to see whether the upgrades are worth it.

Data from NASA's Juno mission shows that the spacecraft routinely encounters giant swirling waves, or vortices, at the boundary between the planet's magnetic field and the solar wind.

This major system, which transport heat from the tropics to the north Atlantic, are now at high risk of collapse due to human-induced climate change.

When astronauts return to the Moon they will be bringing along a new generation of spacesuits, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the lunar surface. But in keeping their human occupants safe and comfortable, these suits might also become a fertile environment for harmful microbial life – especially as astronauts will potentially be sharing suits with one another.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured a new view of a spiral galaxy called UGC 12295, which is believed to have recently hosted a supernova, allowing astronomers to study the debris of the stellar explosion.

Stargazers will be interested not only in the annular eclipse this October but also in the dark skies in parks along the eclipse path!
