Scientists have found further evidence of possible biosignature gases on the planet K2-18b, strengthening its case as an abode for alien life. But the case is far from closed.

This is a high-quality deep-sky camera that experienced astrophotographers won't outgrow.

Everything in the Universe spins. Galaxies, planets, stars, and black holes all rotate, even if just a bit. It comes from the fact that the clouds of scattered gas and dust of the cosmos are never perfectly symmetrical. But the Universe as a whole does not rotate. Some objects spin one way, some another, but add them all up, and the total rotation is zero. At least that's what we've thought. But a new study suggests that the Universe does rotate, and this rotation solves the big mystery of cosmology known as the Hubble tension.

This “unmissable treat” for 'Star Wars' fans arrives June 12 for one night only.

Alexander Skarsgård plays a security android with a penchant for soap operas in Apple TV+'s latest sci-fi show.

On April 16, China rolled out the rocket and crew capsule for Shenzhou 20, the nation's next astronaut mission to the Tiangong space station.

Satellite observations show that sea-surface temperatures over the past four decades have been getting warmer at an accelerated pace.

Using the Hubble and Gaia space telescopes, astronomers have discovered that a powerfully magnetic neutron star in the Milky Way wasn't born in a supernova.

"The next set of solar cycles will be more active."

If you're planning to stay in this Easter or you need to entertain guests, I recommend getting Apple TV Plus for just $2.99 a month. It's rarely ever this cheap.

AI can bridge the growing gap between new and old solar observations and help scientists uncover overlooked aspects of our star's long-term evolution, a new study argues.

The solar eruption set Earth's skies ablaze, with vibrant auroras visible across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Here's how and where to see the Lyrid meteor shower in 2025, which is active between April 16-25 and peaks on April 22.

A fog of long-wavelength infrared light could be produced by dusty, star-forming galaxies that have remained hidden — until now, that is.

Registrations are now open for the European Space Agency’s Living Planet Symposium (LPS) – one of the largest Earth observation conferences in the world. The event will take place on 23–27 June 2025 in Vienna, Austria.

The militaries of the U.S. and the U.K. have selected Rocket Lab as a potential partner for their multibillion-dollar programs to develop hypersonic technology.

A Minotaur IV rocket sent multiple classified payloads skyward for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base on Wednesday (April 16).

Gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful events in the Universe, briefly outshining the combined light of their entire galaxies. A team of astronomers has figured out a clever technique to use the light from gamma-ray bursts to map out the large-scale structure of the Universe at different ages after the Big Bang. They found that the Universe might be less uniform at large scales than previously thought.

In response to reports of the Trump administration aiming to slash NASA's 2026 science budget by nearly half, US Planetary Science Caucus co-chairs have expressed their alarm.

NASA's next moon rocket is stacking higher and higher at the Kennedy Space Center, as the SLS stage adapter and interim cryogenic propulsion stage arrive in the VAB.

An anomaly has forced the Japanese asteroid-sampling spacecraft Hayabusa2 into protective "safe mode" while journeying through deep space on its extended mission.
