The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope in southwest China began operations on Sept. 25, 2016, and is still in its trial phase.
Space-based telescopes are better than their Earth-based counterparts because the atmosphere reduces the intensity of light that reaches the ground.
Even though there is no evidence yet to suggest the red planet itself had life in the past, Mars had the right conditions for it billions of years ago.
Odyssey's THEMIS camera captured the first ever image of Mars's moon Phobos in Infrared revealing changing temperatures on the surface.
The video of the first-ever 360-degree footage shot manually in outer space was released Wednesday in a bid to put an end to the recent ‘Earth is flat’ conspiracies.
A team of scientists has observed dynamic properties in dark matter which was previously considered to be static vacuum energy.
Astronomers have used data from several observatories to locate not one, but five very elusive supermassive black hole pairs.
Micrometeoroids are pieces of disintegrated long-period comets and the dawn on Mercury, given its slow rotation speed, lasts several Earth days.
A strong solar storm hit the red planet in the second week of September, and caused a global aurora that covered all of Mars.
The Hubble Space Telescope photographed two entangled galaxies about 24 million light-years away that together form a system called Arp 269.
The successor to the Hubble Space Telescope was scheduled to launch in October 2018, but will now leave Earth at least 6 months later.
The formation of supermassive black holes have been a mystery. Scientists have found that supersonic streams of gas left behind from the Big Bang holds the answers.
At a distance of 1.5 billion miles from the Sun, K2 becomes the farthest comet ever observed and photographed.
The SpaceX CEO presented Friday the latest version of his Interplanetary Spaceship & Rocket design at the ongoing International Aeronautical Conference 2017 in Adelaide, Australia.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk teased several video simulations that showed how his interplanetary spaceship and rocket designs might look.
Gravitational waves, despite their name, have nothing to do with gravity. Instead, they are ripples in space-time that occur when black holes collide.
Other than accretion, the process involved collisions between planetary bodies, vaporized rock and the resulting silicate atmospheres.
Some astronomers trying to answer that question looked at the Saturn Nebula using the MUSE instrument on the Very Large Telescope in Chile.
B.o.B said he hopes to verify the Earth’s curve by launching “one, if not multiple, satellites into space.”
A new SuperCam onboard the rover will provide it the ability of Raman spectroscopy, which can detect signatures of carbon-based organic materials.
Located about 600 million light-years away in the constellation Lynx, J0811+4730 has the least oxygen for any known star-forming galaxy.
The IceCube observatory in Antarctica, the world’s most sensitive neutrino detector currently, will start investigating fast radio bursts.
