New observations of supernova 1987A reveal plenty of dust and could explain for the abundance of dust found in early universe galaxies.

Just hours after being discovered, the first asteroid spotted in 2014 disintegrated after hitting Earth's atmosphere on January 2.

A fireball shot across the evening sky over Iowa on Thursday, prompting many residents to wonder what caused the bright long streak above their heads. Was it a meteor, or could it have been space debris?

Two supernovae discovered a few years ago are believed to be the most distant and brightest ever recorded.

Physicists have long predicted that at some point, the entire universe will collapse. Scientists now say that this process could happen sooner than we think.

A Chinese rocket carrying a Brazilian satellite failed to reach its planned orbit and most likely came crashing back to Earth.

VeSpR will experiment the UV light emitted from Venus' atmosphere for clues to origins of the planet's water.

Mars may play a role in "refreshing" asteroids, which could explain why they appear redder than meteorites.

The Leonid Meteor Shower peaks on Nov. 16 and NASA is providing a live stream of the event.

For the first time, astronomers have cracked the lid on black hole jets – the little understood, super powerful streams of matter sometimes emitted from the centers of black holes.

The European Space Agency says there is little chance people will get hit by the debris.

The new discovery suggests that there could be a “hunting ground for black holes” in the Milky Way galaxy.

Nathan Gray may dethrone his sister as the youngest person to discover a supernova.

Sunday's solar eclipse was a unique one and many people from around the world were able to view the rare event.

The American Meteor Society received at least 234 reports of a “major fireball event” that took place over the Pacific Northwest and southwestern Canada at approximately 6 a.m on Wednesday.

The United Nations plans to set up an asteroid defense group that will spearhead missions to deflect dangerous asteroids.

A natural-color view of Saturn is created as human eyes would have seen it, according to NASA.

Astronomers expect the new findings to help them determine what objects such as Sgr A* were doing before X-ray telescopes were created.

During this ambitious collaborative program, astronomers will spend the next three years peering at six massive clusters of galaxies.

Five thousand light years away in the constellation Centaurus is the Boomerang Nebula, considered the coldest object in the universe.
