This week, China has plans to launch its first prototype of a future space station. Being the third nation to send a person to space, China leaves the rest of the world anxious for their launch event.

At a distance of about 13,000 light-years from Earth, it is the closest yellow hypergiant found to date and new observations show it shines some 500,000 times more brightly than the Sun.

Google is to provide multi-million-pound office space and assistance for developers and startups near London’s “Silicon Roundabout,” to boost government’s plans to build a Tech city in the capital.

China is set to enter its own Space Age with the launch of its first independent space lab module this weekend.

An unidentified object believed to have fallen from the sky was found in Indian state of Meghalaya on Tuesday. The mysterious object was recovered from a flower bed of St Edmund's College in Shillong.

The dead NASA satellite plunged into the remote South Pacific Ocean, when it crashed to Earth last Saturday, said NASA on Tuesday.

The strong solar storm that reached the Earth on Monday has shrouded our planet with cosmic rays and high-energy particles that can prove to be hazardous to astronauts and airline passengers in coming days, space scientists have warned.

Computer gamers have identified two possible Earthlike planets outside the solar system, while playing the browser game Planet Hunter, which lets the public get data from NASA's Kepler mission and public archives and pictures.

Just days after NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite plunged into the Pacific Ocean, another satellite -- this one German -- is beginning its descent to Earth. And once again, nobody knows where it will land.

NASA on Tuesday announced that it has located the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) that crashed down to Earth last week. They say the defunct satellite is way out into the southern Pacific Ocean, far away from land. The UARS made a fiery re-entry into the Earth's shortly after midnight on Saturday.

China is to set enter its own Space Age with the launch of its first independent space lab module.

Radiation and bone loss are not the only health risks that astronauts staying for long period of time in space are exposed to. A new study of astronauts has showed that astronauts who have spent months in space face the problem of blurring vision.

A dead NASA Upper Atmosphere Research satellite fell on Earth on Saturday,k but it is not known where the crashed remains are.

It flew for long 20 years and nine days, and when it made its homecoming, nobody knows its whereabouts. Almost six years after ceasing operation, the decommissioned NASA satellite finally landed somewhere on Earth, but even NASA doesn't know the exact landing location and may never know.

NASA said 26 components of its Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), weighing a total of 1,200 pounds, could have survived the fiery fall and landed on the surface of the Earth. The space agency said the UARS fell back to Earth between 11:23 p.m. EDT on Friday and 1:09 a.m. Saturday.

Finally, NASA's falling angel, the 6 ton bus-sized Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) plunged back to Earth on Saturday morning, said NASA. The defunct satellite is the biggest piece of space debris to fall from the sky since the Sky Lab in 1979.

NASA said UARS satellite debris that came crashing to Earth today appears to have dropped into the Pacific Ocean away from the western coast of the U.S. though the agency doesn't know exactly where it landed and may never know.

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon and commander of Apollo 11, said the United States risks squandering 5 decades of space research, work, and accomplishments, if the nation does not find ways to restore hope and confidence in NASA, as part of a unified sense of purpose on space exploration.

A 6-ton defunct NASA satellite has fallen back to Earth Saturday, but officials are not sure of the exact location of the debris that rained into the Pacific Ocean.

Those around the world afraid that NASA's falling UARS satellite might come crashing down upon them can rest easy. NASA said the satellite initially penetrated the Earth's atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean and most of it is believed to have burned up. NASA has not confirmed where it landed, but the agency said re-entry occurred during a two-hour period.

NASA has released a spectacular new image that shows all five moons of Saturn suspended around the rings of the planet.
