A defunct NASA satellite is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere on Friday, Sept. 23, according to the U.S. space agency.

Astronomers have announced the discovery of an uncommon planet that is located some 200 light years away from Earth with two suns.

In a preparation for future space exploration, a group of NASA's diving crew will live in Aquarius underwater research laboratory located near Key Largo, Florida during October.

The Russian Soyuz capsule carrying the three out of six crew members returning from the International Space Station touched down safely on Friday at the central grasslands of Kazakhstan, but not without a drama.

A dead NASA satellite will be plunging back to the Earth in about a week, around September 23, though there is absolutely no idea as to where it is going to fall.

Thanks to NASA's Kepler telescope, the 30-year-old Star Wars Tatooine fantasy is now a fact as it has discovered a new planet some 200 light years away from Earth, which is claimed to be orbiting two stars.

Kepler-16b was seen orbiting two stars, about 200 light-years from Earth.Scientists say that the discovery of this Saturn-sized, circumbinary planet shows just how much diversity there are among the planets in our galaxy.

Space officials from the U.S. have said that they are expecting a 6.5 -ton dead satellite to fall to Earth in almost a week.

NASA's 6.5-ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite would fall to Earth next week after the end of a productive scientific life.

NASA’s Kepler telescope discovered an uncommon planet that is located some 200 light years away from Earth with two suns.

The Expedtion 28 crew members Ron Garan, Andrey Borisenko and Alexander Samokutyaevm must be enjoying, while adjusting to Earth's gravity after spending 164 days in space.

A new rock called Chester Lake identified by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity is the new object of speculation that might provide more evidence about the presence of water on the red planet.

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has captured a portrait of five of Saturn’s moons poised along the planet’s ring in one image, NASA revealed on Friday.

NASA along with the Russian Federal Space Agency, Roscosmos, will launch the first manned Soyuz rocket on Nov. 14 this year. Their last initiative of a similar booster carrying a robotic cargo ship last month was a failure.

The 30-year-old Star Wars fantasy is now a fact. NASA has claimed the existence of a planet, located some 200 light years away from Earth, orbiting two stars.

In 1977, the blockbuster sci-fi movie Star Wars showed a spectacular scene: the lead character Luke Skywalker walks into a binary sunset in the planet Tatooine. Thirty-four years later, such a scene has become a reality. The only difference is that the planet is not called Tatooine but is officially called Kepler-16b.

The galaxies are about 10 billion light-years away. This gives astronomers a view of galaxies as they appeared when the universe was less than a quarter of its current age.

No, it's not from Star Wars, where the fictional double sunset on Tatooine made such a memorable imprint years ago. But astronomers from NASA have discovered a planet 200 light-years from Earth that apparently orbits two suns like Tatooine.

Astronomers have announced discovery of the first circumbinary planet, a rare planet that orbits two stars, as portrayed in the sci-fi movie Star Wars more than 30 years ago.

Called Kepler-16b, the newly found circumbinary planet is likened with the fictional aliens-inhabited planet called Tatooine, which was portrayed to have two sunsets in the Hollywood epic Star Wars series.

What was projected in the iconic movie saga, Star Wars, by American filmmaker George Lucas has been revealed as a scientific fact by NASA's Kepler mission.
