NASA's Perseverance rover is equipped with a radar imager, allowing researchers to create a subsurface profile of Jezero Crater to better understand its geological past.

NASA says the ISS is healthy enough to keep flying past 2030, as things stand today. But the agency has other factors to consider to keep the venerable complex in space.

Asteroid 2024 BJ, which astronomers detected earlier this month, will be live-streamed as it zooms within 220,000 miles of Earth, or closer to us than the average distance to the moon.

Karen Bassett Stephenson reflected on the loss of her father while standing before the Space Mirror Memorial that bears his name. She joined others to observe NASA's Day of Remembrance.

We know the sun is currently zooming through space, but does it move within our solar system?

Virgin Galactic plans to launch its sixth commercial mission, and its 11th spaceflight overall, today (Jan. 26) during a window that opens at noon EST (1700 GMT).

Flat, featureless terrain likely caused the accident that has permanently grounded NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity, mission team members say.

Scientists warn that, as the moon shrinks, it invites the possibility of moonquakes and lunar landslides. Both are important to consider when picking a landing site for the forthcoming Artemis mission.

Ingenuity, the first robot to ever fly on Mars, suffered rotor-blade damage during its most recent hop and can no longer fly, NASA announced today (Jan. 25).

Four astronauts are set to fly aboard SpaceX to the International Space Station no earlier than late February, NASA officials announced. They will be in space for half a year.

Belgium signed the Artemis Accords on Tuesday (Jan. 23), becoming the 34th nation to become part of the moon-exploration framework.

NASA's Juno probe made a close approach of Jupiter's moon Europa, finding possible proof of present day surface activity.

It's the farewell season for "Star Wars: The Bad Batch," but it's going out with a serious bang as this new trailer from Disney Plus shows.

Japan's SLIM spacecraft made a strange but precise lunar landing, touching the moon with the tip of its nose as it landed incredibly close its target location.

The motions of satellites in galaxy groups tell us that such groupings, and therefore possibly the universe, are younger than what standard cosmology tells us.

A newly released photo shows SLIM, Japan's first successful moon lander, resting on the lunar surface.

NASA completed a new Artemis moon program test on Jan. 23, firing one of its Space Launch System RS-25 engines for about eight minutes.

NASA's Scout impact-assessment system told astronomers where and when the tiny space rock would crash on Sunday morning (Jan. 21).
