On Episode 175 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and and Tariq Malik are joined by Daniel Selva to talk about crew interactions and trust with AI using computers.
In this quiz, you’ll test your knowledge of Neptune's features, moons, and the science that keeps astronomers fascinated.
The Trump administration's "One Big, Beautiful Bill" slashes federal funding for efforts to create renewable or sustainable types of fuel for aircraft.
A new executive order signed by President Donald Trump removes NASA employees from federal labor-management protections, under the justification of national security.
The moon will appear in the constellation Scorpius at sunset on Aug. 30-31.
SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink broadband satellites today (Aug. 30), sending 24 of them up from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Astronomers have observed the distant active galaxy OJ 287 for many years. It's a BL Lac object, a type of active galactic nuclei known for their extreme variability. They display rapid and pronounced variability in their brightness across multiple wavelengths.
What can the Galactic Habitable Zone (GHZ), which is a galaxy’s region where complex life is hypothesized to be able to evolve, teach scientists about finding the correct stars that could have habitable planets? This is what a recent study accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated a connection between the migration of stars, commonly called stellar migration, and what this could mean for finding habitable planets within our galaxy. This study has the potential to help scientists better understand the astrophysical parameters for finding habitable worlds beyond Earth and even life as we know it.
The James Webb Space Telescope has observed a planet-birthing disk of gas and dust around a young star, uncovering some strange and unexpected chemistry.
This quiz will challenge your knowledge of Uranus's strange rotation, chilly atmosphere, and curious collection of moons.
Rocket Lab's new Launch Complex 3 will launch Neutron rockets that can land themselves on land or at sea just like SpaceX rockets.
In space, the one thing more important than ensuring access to food, water, and waste disposal (combined!) is the need for a steady supply of breathable air. Where the International Space Station (ISS) and other missions in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) can be resupplied regularly, missions operating in deep space will need to produce their own. There are several ways to go about this. One way is to use bioregenerative life support systems (BLSSs), which utilize photosynthetic organisms (like cyanobacteria) that take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen gas and edible algae.
The half-lit moon will appear close to Antares in the constellation Scorpius later this week.

SpaceX is preparing to launch 24 Starlink broadband satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base Friday evening on a Falcon 9 rocket launch less than 30 minutes after sunset.
Here's a rundown of Isaac Asimov's mind-numbing field of mathematics that predicts future events.
The seven members of the Expedition 73 crew welcomed the arrival of a SpaceX resupply ship, worked on science and kept the International Space Station up and running station this week in Earth orbit.
The Celestron SkyMaster binoculars come highly recommended by our experts, and with a saving of over $116, now is the time to spot stars and galaxies for less.
Can we turn to the past to learn more about how interactions between plants and pollinators changed during climate change?
Astronomers may have solved the mystery of how hypervelocity white dwarfs rocket out of the Milky Way at breakneck speeds.
As humans expand into space, how we'll continue to expand the species remains an important question.
