When the European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) flew past our Moon in August 2024, its Radar for Icy Moon Exploration (RIME) instrument listened to radio wave echoes to reveal the height of the lunar surface.
A massive doomed exoplanet on a death spiral toward its parent star has three possible catastrophic fates.
The waning crescent Moon joins Venus and Jupiter at dawn. In the dark of night, the Guardians of the Pole are no such things, except they are. And thereby hangs a tale. . .

Soil excavated from the moon could be used to produce oxygen and methane, which could be used by lunar settlers for breathing and for rocket fuel.
Superman is full of awesome sci-fi elements, but the most fascinating one might be Lex Luthor's pocket dimension. How does that even work?
China has taken a new step in its long-term planning for lunar exploration with the completion of a "simulated moon underground space."
ere’s an overview of Ancient Astronomers and their key contributions to early astronomy:
The European Space Agency is funding the development of a hypersonic space plane pathfinder, which will start flying by 2031, if all goes according to plan.
One of the best occultations of the Pleiades by the Moon transpires on the morning of the 20th.
Despite the powerful telescopes that modern astronomers have to work with, the distant reaches of the Solar System are still mysterious. Not much sunlight pierces these regions, and there are strong hints that undiscovered objects lurk there. The objects that astronomers have discovered in these dim reaches are primordial, and their orbits suggest the presence of more undiscovered objects. Piecing it all together is a challenge.
The basaltic meteorite is a piece of lunar rock that formed in a lava flow 2.35 billion years ago, long after volcanism on the moon was supposed to have ended.
Titan shadow transit seasons occurs just once every 15 years.
'It's fun to see Una come down on someone. We don't get to see that very often.'
China's Tianwen 2 mission captured stunning views of Earth and the moon from deep space just days after launch.
All of the telescopes here are easy to set up on a tabletop, making them an easy option for beginners and professional stargazers.
Up to 200 worlds investigated by NASA's exoplanet-hunting TESS satellite could be bigger than predicted, a finding that could impact our search for alien life.
These are the best telescopes for professional astrophotography and will allow you to capture high-definition images of planets, nebulas and galaxies.
Astronomers unveiled a striking view of the new interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS on its journey toward the inner solar system.
These modern-day Gorn are a major upgrade on the lizard man Captain Kirk battled in the Original Series.
