Researchers have found that geyser-like icy jets released by Saturn's moon, Enceladus, strongly influences the chemical composition of its parent planet.
NASA has unveiled plans of $1.6 billion to buy a complete range of spacecrafts, launchers, mission operations and ground support by the middle of the decade to transport astronauts to the International Space Station and low Earth orbit.
Despite cost overruns, the James Webb Space Telescope, which is scheduled to replace the heralded Hubble, should still fly, plead NASA officials and leading astronomers.
Science teacher James Drake compiled 600 images of the Earth that were taken by astronauts from space since the 1960s to create a time-elapsed 60-second video which gives the illusion of how astronauts from the International Space Station see Earth.
NASA astronomers were able to get a closer look at the inner environment nearing the base of a black hole's jet through infrared observation. By using the agency's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) astronomers captured some rare data of a flaring black hole, illuminating new details about these powerful stellar-mass black holes and their raging jets.
China is all set to launch its first unmanned space module on Tuesday. The world's third biggest country will launch the test module into orbit via Long March II-F rocket, which is developed by China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.
Astronomers are crowing in delight over a newly produced image of the Lambda Centauri nebula, which has been nicknamed the Running Chicken or Space Chicken because of its resemblance to a certain earth-bound fowl.
Ever wondered what it would be like soaring high above the Earth, or even circling the planet on the International Space Station? Thanks to science educator James Drake, you're in luck.
For the first time NASA astronomers using Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) captured the innermost part of the black hole's (GX 339-A) active jets.
The biggest satellite to fall to Earth in decades will come crashing down in the new few days. And while odds are not good that a person will be hit -- officials can't rule that out.
The asteroid which is generally considered responsible for the termination of the dinosaurs possibly couldn't have been the cause as per observations from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope show.
Merging 600 images of the Earth that were taken by astronauts from space since the 1960s, science teacher, James Drake, has created a time-lapsed 60-second video to give the illusion of how astronauts from the International Space Station see Earth.
A defunct NASA satellite the size of a bus is set to plunge through the Earth's atmosphere sometime this weekend, with officials still uncertain exactly where it is going to land.
NASA unveiled its plans to buy a complete range of spacecrafts, launchers, mission operations and ground support by the middle of the decade to provide astronauts with transportation service to the International Space Station and low-Earth orbit.
If you are one of those who dream of going into the space and have a look back at the blue planet, science educator James Drake has something for you to offer. Drake has created a minute-long video that gives the illusion of how astronauts from the International Space Station see the planet.
Astronauts in space are exposed to a newly identified medical condition, something that NASA should consider seriously. It is the blurring vision of some of the astronauts who have spent months in space that has made NASA think about possible impacts it may have on long-term space trips.
Watch the skies this Friday as a defunct NASA satellite is expected make a fiery re-entry to the Earth's atmosphere.
The Baptistina family of asteroids has just been ruled out in the 65-million year-old cold case surrounding the mysterious death of Earth's dinosaurs, leaving scientists to now ask 'Who did it?'
NASA has announced a plan to launch its astronauts to the International Space Station and low Earth orbit through the partnerships of private companies.
NASA astronauts will soon get their own space taxi to shuttle between the International Space Station and the Earth, the space agency said on Monday.
A defunct NASA satellite is set to descend into the Earth's atmosphere this weekend, but the U.S. space agency says it has no clue where it will land.
NASA officials on Monday said that they are planning to spend about $1.6 billion for the next two years to strengthen the industry efforts to develop space taxis.
