Researchers expected to find "a gradual increase in artificial light at night," but instead saw "much more nuanced patterns," NASA said.

A newly discovered asteroid will make a close encounter with Earth on Monday. Calculations show it will be significantly closer than the distance between Earth and the moon.

A new NASA satellite will test critical technologies for storing and transferring super-chilled, cryogenic fuels in space in order to help astronauts reach the moon and potentially Mars someday. The Liquid Oxygen Flight demonstration (LOXSAT) will launch to orbit around the Earth later this year to test the fluid management capabilities that will be needed to maintain cryogenic fuels in microgravity,

The report, known as the PESTO Search for Life Instrumentation Study, examines how scientists can better detect biological signatures on planets and

NASA launched four astronauts on a pioneering journey around the moon—the Artemis II mission. Follow our coverage here. Just 14 days ago, amid the mundanity of East Coast commutes and West Coast alarm clocks, NASA’s Artemis II mission gave humans ...

NASA has turned Artemis III into something no one expected when the program was announced: a crewed test flight that never leaves Earth orbit. Instead of carrying astronauts to the lunar surface, the mission will send an Orion capsule into low Earth orbit to practice rendezvous and docking with two commercial landers,

NASA sends the Artemis II crew on a landmark mission beyond Earth orbit Freepix NASA has released dramatic new high-definition footage showing the final moments of the historic Artemis II mission before the crew safely returned to Earth earlier this year.

The crucial manoeuvre scheduled for Friday will use the gravity of Mars to shift Psyche onto the right path, a faster and cheaper method NASA scientists say could help unlock clues about the birth of Earth.
