NASA astronaut Stan Love on the digital-age Artemis cockpit inside the Orion spacecraft
Space.com talked with NASA astronaut Stanley Love at Kennedy Space Center during the launch of Artemis 1 to discuss how he and others are working to design a spacecraft cockpit for the digital age.
China will launch 2-in-1 asteroid deflection mission in 2025
China is now looking to launch its first planetary defense test mission a year earlier than planned and on a larger rocket.
Tsunamis Carried Boulders Across Ancient Martian Ocean
Long-ago impacts tossed up the floors of an ancient ocean on the Red Planet and carried debris to the landing site of NASA’s Viking 1 lander.
The Orville started as a spoof, but it has evolved into so much more
The Orville might have started off borrowing from Star Trek, but season 3 raids it's own history, with stunning results.
Save up to $900 on these festive Unistellar telescope deals
You can save $900 on Unistellar's eVscope 2 telescope and there's $600 of their eQuinox model this holiday season too.
Watch SpaceX launch 40 OneWeb internet satellites Thursday
SpaceX will launch 40 internet satellites for the communications company OneWeb on Thursday (Dec. 8) at 5:27 p.m. EST (2227 GMT), and you can watch the action live.
At a powerful radio telescope, the hunt for signals from intelligent extraterrestrial life is on
As part of the Breakthrough Listen project, the MeerKAT radio telescope will search a million nearby stars for signals from technology that could indicate intelligent extraterrestrial life.
Watch the moon eclipse Earth in stunning video from Artemis 1's Orion spacecraft
Artemis 1's uncrewed Orion capsule captured a jaw-dropping view of the moon crossing in front of Earth on Nov. 28, 2022.
Colliding Neutron Stars can Generate Long Gamma-ray Bursts
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic recurring events in the Universe. Only the Big Bang was more energetic, and it was a singularity. Astronomers see GRBs in distant Universes, and a lot of research has gone into understanding them and what causes them.
NASA loses contact with ICON atmosphere-studying satellite in Earth orbit
NASA's ICON atmosphere-studying satellite, well into an extended mission in space, fell silent on Nov. 25. Troubleshooting is ongoing, but the spacecraft has not responded to calls from home.
“Early Dark Energy” Could Explain the Crisis in Cosmology
In 1916, Einstein finished his Theory of General Relativity, which describes how gravitational forces alter the curvature of spacetime. Among other things, this theory predicted that the Universe is expanding, which was confirmed by the observations of Edwin Hubble in 1929. Since then, astronomers have looked farther into space (and hence, back in time) to measure how fast the Universe is expanding – aka. the Hubble Constant. These measurements have become increasingly accurate thanks to the discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and observatories like the Hubble Space Telescope.

OneWeb’s broadband network will get a boost from SpaceX, which operates its own internet constellation, with the launch of 40 satellites on top of a Falcon 9 rocket set for Thursday from Kennedy Space Center.
NASA's new moon lander contest heats up with Blue Origin, Northrop Grumman
There are at least two Human Landing Systems vying for future NASA Artemis missions on the moon, adding on to SpaceX Starship lander approved for Artemis 3 and Artemis 4.
How Artificial Intelligence Can Find the Source of Gamma-Ray Bursts
Gamma-ray bursts come in two main flavors, short and long. While astronomers believe that they understand what causes these two kinds of bursts, there is still significant overlap between them. A team of researchers have proposed a new way to classify gamma-ray bursts using the aid of machine learning algorithms. This new classification scheme will help astronomers better understand these enigmatic explosions.
Private Chinese rocket reaches orbit 2 years after test-flight failure (video)
The Kuaizhou 11 rocket, which is operated by the Chinese company Expace, has performed its first successful launch, two years after failing its first test flight.
The Geminids Will be Peaking on December 14th. They’re Usually the Most Active Meteor Shower Every Year
Meteor showers are a great way to share a love of astronomy with those who might not be as familiar with it. Almost everyone loves watching streaks of light flash across the sky, but usually, it’s so intermittent that it can be frustrating to watch. That’s not the case for the next few weeks, though, as the annual Geminid meteor shower is underway until December 24th.
Peekaboo! Strange tiny galaxy provides a glimpse into the universe's early history
A strange local dwarf galaxy was hidden from astronomers for years by the glare of a foreground star, earning the nickname 'Peekaboo.'
SpaceX now targeting Dec. 11 for launch of Japanese moon lander after delays
SpaceX is now targeting Dec. 11 for the launch of a private Japanese moon lander after a series of delays with multiple Falcon 9 rockets.
With eyes on Mars, NASA algorithm tackles dust devils on Earth
On Mars, dust devils can have both positive and negative impacts on robotic exploration on the planet.
A Star was Blocking a Galaxy, but Now it’s Moved Enough That Astronomers can Finally Examine What it Was Hiding
One of the biggest puzzles in astronomy, and one of the hardest ones to solve, concerns the formation and evolution of galaxies. What did the first ones look like? How have they grown so massive?
