The exoplanet-hunting space telescope launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) is now ready to officially start its mission.

NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has detected two asteroids that are currently headed for Earth.

After going through the old data collected by NASA’s Kepler space telescope, scientists came across a new exoplanet that’s about as big as Earth.

NASA recently shared a stunning photo captured by its Hubble Space Telescope.

NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has recently detected an asteroid that’s currently approaching Earth.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has unveiled a prototype glove that could be used be used by astronauts on future space missions. Aside from offering protection against the vacuum of space, the gloves can also be used to remotely control rovers and other equipment using hand gestures.

A space weather forecasting site reported that Earth is currently getting hit by a stream of solar winds. According to the site, the nature of the solar winds is causing small cracks to appear in the planet’s magnetic field.

An eyewitness from Tucson, Arizona, was able to spot and photograph a fireball event over the city. However, his photo of the meteor streaking across the sky was photobombed by a train of Starlink satellites from SpaceX.

A new study has confirmed that prolonged missions in space can have serious effects on the brains of astronauts. According to the authors of the new study, staying in space for long periods of time can cause brains to swell, which could lead to serious complications.

NASA has detected a new asteroid that will fly close to Earth on Wednesday.

An international team of astronomers has discovered the brightest and most powerful supernova ever discovered. According to the astronomers, the rare cosmic event may have been caused by the explosion of two stars that merged together.

The growing number of COVID-19 cases in Russia has halted the manufacturing of the country’s flagship rocket known as Soyuz. Aside from industrial production, the head of Russia’s space agency also warned that the ongoing pandemic has also affected launch activities.

Astronomers from different parts of the world have confirmed that the comet flying towards Earth has started to break apart. They believe the comet might completely dissolve before it reaches the Sun.

A new study conducted by an international team of astronomers provided a possible explanation regarding the origins and nature of the first interstellar comet to enter the Solar System. According to the astronomers, the comet known as Oumuamua may have originated from a planet that was ripped apart by its host star.

NASA is currently tracking a massive potentially hazardous asteroid that’s expected to approach Earth on Tuesday (April 14).

For the first time, a team of astronomers was able to photograph the powerful jet of plasma and gas emitted by the collision of two massive galaxies. Based on their observations, it seems the emission from the galactic merger is just starting to get stronger.

To launch the 30th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope’s launch, NASA introduced a new online feature on its website. According to the agency, the online feature reveals what Hubble discovered during a person’s birthday.
