NASA's Juno spacecraft, while traveling to Jupiter, managed to capture a rare image of the Earth and Earth's Moon.

NASA's defunct Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite is expected to plunge on earth in an uncontrolled fall in late September or early October, officials said Wednesday. Though the 6.5 ton satellite is expected to burn up as it enters the earth's atmosphere, NASA doesn't rule out the possibility of solid pieces touching the ground.

A 20-year-old NASA satellite is set to plunge back to Earth between late September and early October and is expected to rain debris over a wide area.

A new report warns that United States is running out of astronauts and NASA's current staffing plans are insufficient to maintain its presence on the International Space Station and prepare for the next generation of spaceflight.

Recently-discovered supernova can be seen with a good pair of binoculars.

NASA and Russia have less than two months to decide whether to abandon $100 billion International Space Station (ISS) for a period of time following the failure of the Russian Soyuz rocket last month.

If you are slow, you would blast. This could be the status of several old stars, or white dwarfs, in our Milky Way galaxy and they may scatter throughout our galaxy as ticking time bombs waiting to explode as Type Ia supernova.

Researchers and astrophysicists claim that they might have discovered a vital link in the understanding of stellar explosions, in particular about the Type Ia supernova.

NASA's Earth Observatory has released a photo of the border between India and Pakistan taken from the International Space Station. The striking orange line depicting the hostile Asian border, however, is not a product of photoshop. This is the fenced and floodlit border zone between India and Pakistan. The fence is designed to discourage smuggling and arms trafficking and shows how divided the two nations are.

NASA has released sharpest images ever taken from space of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites, showing the twists and turns of the paths made when the astronauts explored the lunar surface.

The European Space Agency's Proba-1 microsatellite has captured an image of the annual Burning Man festival celebrated in the Nevada desert.

Like the fictitious time bomb in the Hollywood blockbuster Speed, rigged to blow up the bus in which it was planted it slowed below 50 mph, some white dwarf stars when slowed down from their rapid spins may explode as supernova, astronomers say.

Researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) suggest that some old stars are held together by their super-fast spins and can explode as supernovae once their rapid spins slow down.

Researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CFA) suggest that some old stars are held together by their super-fast spins and can explode as supernovae once their rapid spins slow down.

New interactive Internet tool allows users to explore the solar system, follow space missions.

NASA mission managers in Houston are currently working on contingency plans, as both Russia and the U.S. have said that temporarily abandoning the $100 billion ISS is a possibility.

Astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS), that was scheduled to launch in late September, have held the temporary shutting down of the shuttle while details of the failed Russian Launch are being figured out.

Six astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) that was scheduled to launch in late September will continue to be delayed after a failed launch in Russia ended in a crash.

Spaceport America will be the world's first purpose-built commercial spaceport, and it is almost finished.

NASA will look to discover how the moon was formed and how it has evolved.
