The U.S. military’s experimental spaceplane will soon soar to orbit using a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket for the first time, a Pentagon news release announced. The X-37B spacecraft will launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center no earlier than December 7.
Microbes could help unlock vital nutrients in lunar soil to one day help farms sustain astronaut crews on the moon, a new study reports.
Lucy’s images of asteroid Dinkinesh are the gift that keeps on giving. First, it was the discovery of a smaller companion. Now, it turns out that the companion itself is a contact binary. That’s two smaller objects touching each other as they orbit with Dinkinesh. So, how did they get that way?
Scientists found atomic oxygen buried between two dominant currents in the hellish planet's atmosphere.
Some companies hope to one day search for deposits that are literally out of this world — on asteroids.
For the second time, the largest part of a space shuttle-era rocket booster has been taken vertical as part of the display of the orbiter Endeavour at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

Is it worth waiting for Black Friday for a camera deal or should you buy one in the early Black Friday sales?
In a groundbreaking development, researchers from the University of Leeds have unveiled a neural network that can swiftly and accurately chart the expanse of large Antarctic icebergs in satellite images, accomplishing the task in a mere 0.01 seconds. This novel approach is in stark contrast to the laborious and time-consuming manual efforts needed previously.
Astronomers have found the most distant Milky Way look-alike we've seen the universe, challenging theoretical predictions of galaxy evolution.
SpaceX will launch its next robotic cargo mission to the International Space Station on Thursday night (Nov. 9), and you can watch the action live.
Water vapor observed sublimating from tiny chunks of rock within planet-forming disks is a sign that a process called "pebble accretion" kickstarts the birth of new worlds.
