Houston Astros launch new 'Space City' uniforms with nods to NASA
The Houston Astros are celebrating their city's connection to space exploration with a new uniform inspired by NASA's astronaut wear and materials. The team debuted their "Space City" uniforms.
Neptune is cooling down and scientists don't know why
Two decades worth of observations revealed unexpected cooling of the solar system's most distant planet Neptune amid astronomical summer.
What are Dobsonian Telescopes?
Find out what Dobsonian telescopes are as we walk you through their design and discover what makes them such a popular choice for amateur stargazers.
A private Ax-1 astronaut will test making a liquid telescope mirror in space
Ax-1's Mission Specialist Eytan Stibbe will perform the Fluidic Telescope Experiment (FLUTE), investigating the use of liquids to construct telescope lenses in microgravity.
Spaceport construction set to begin on UK's northernmost island
Construction of the SaxaVord spaceport on the Shetland Islands in the north of Scotland is set to begin soon with the aim of hosting the first British vertical orbital launch later this year.
Dwindling water levels of Lake Powell seen from space
After decades of drought, water levels in Lake Powell, the second-largest humanmade reservoir in the United States, have shrunk to its lowest level since it was created more than 50 years ago, threatening millions of people who rely on its water supply. Satellite images allow us to take a closer look at the dwindling water levels of the lake amidst the climate crisis.

Space Force is Releasing Decades of Tracking Data on a Thousand Bright Meteor Fireballs
When a meteoroid enters the Earth’s atmosphere at a very high speed it heats up. This heating up produces a streak of light and is termed a meteor. When a meteor is bright enough, about the brightness of Venus or brighter, it becomes a fireball. Sometimes these fireballs explode in the atmosphere, becoming bolides. These bolides are bright enough to be seen even during the day.
Is the origin of dark matter gravity itself?
Did the graviton, the quantum mechanical force carrier of gravity, flood the cosmos with dark matter before normal matter even had a chance to get started?
'Magnetic anomalies' may be protecting the moon's ice from melting
'Magnetic anomalies' may be shielding ice in the moon's pitch-black craters, new research suggests.
How do planets form? A 'baby Jupiter' hundreds of light-years away offers new clues
In new research, we have spotted a hot, Jupiter-like gas giant in the process of forming around a star about 500 light-years from Earth.

A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft docked at the International Space Station on Saturday with four private astronauts, beginning a planned stay of at least eight days — and maybe longer — while becoming the first mission with an all-commercial crew to visit the orbiting research complex.
Jupiter and Ganymede are Connected by Magnetic Fields
On July 5th, 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft arrived at Jupiter and began its four-year mission (which has since been extended to 2025) to study the gas giant’s atmosphere, composition, magnetosphere, and gravitational environment. Juno is the first dedicated mission to study Jupiter since the Galileo probe studied the system between 1995 and 2003. The images and data it has sent back to Earth have revealed much about Jupiter’s atmosphere, aurorae, polar storms, internal structure, and moons.
Ax-1, the first private crew to space station, welcomed aboard with astronaut pins
The three first-time fliers on the first commercial crew to visit the International Space Station arrived on board the orbiting outpost where they were pinned as the world's newest astronauts.
NASA delays crucial Artemis 1 moon mission test to April 12
NASA has pushed back the resumption of the Artemis 1 moon mission's critical "wet dress rehearsal" by two days, to Tuesday (April 12).
