Astronomers have discovered a new type of planet, the "mega-Earth," after observing Kepler-10c.

Clouds got in the way of one of New York City's best events.

According to the unvetted story, which ran on CNN's iReport section, NASA scientists put the odds of an impact at 1 in 2.04.

The May Camelopardalids is a new meteor shower which will peak early Saturday morning but stargazers can view plenty of meteors on Friday.

New observations from the Hubble Space Telescope have captured Jupiter's Great Red Spot at its smallest size ever.

Researchers may have discovered the steps necessary for magnetars formation.

A star born from the same cloud of gas and dust as the sun was recently discovered.

An asteroid the size of a school bus passed close to Earth on Saturday.

Based on new observations, researchers have discovered a day lasts just eight hours on the exoplanet Beta Pictoris b.

The next episode of "Cosmos," "Sisters of the Sun," will explore the contributions of several female astronomers.

According to a new report, Earth has been hit with 26 nuclear-level asteroid impacts since 2000.

The Lyrid meteor shower peak begins on Monday and NASA as well as Slooh will provide a live stream of April's celestial event. The Lyrids broadcast coverage begins at 8 p.m. EDT.

Why haven't we been crushed by space debris?

Don't worry if you missed Tuesday's blood moon; there will be another one in about six months.

The total lunar eclipse, or blood moon, will take place in the early hours of April 15. The eclipse will begin at approximately 2 a.m. EDT and will peak around 3:45 a.m. EDT.

The European Southern Observatory released an image of a planetary nebula with a fashionable accessory; a diamond ring.

April's first astronomy event gave stargazers a closer look at the red planet.

April's total lunar eclipse and the start of the lunar eclipse tetrad, a set of four eclipses, has led to an "end of days" theory.

Planetary scientists have determined that the moon formed nearly 100 million years after the start of the solar system, a new study suggests.

April has plenty of astronomy events to look forward to, including a total lunar eclipse, but "zero gravity day" won't be among the actual events.

Making shock-waves in the science and space community is the discovery of a giant asteroid that like Saturn and other gas planets has rings.
