NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity is spending its fifth winter on Mars and is now exploring a site known as “Greeley Haven.” Due to a…
The Phobos-Grunt spacecraft, which was supposed to have traveled to Phobos, a moon of Mars, and back, crashed on Earth. The ambitious project crashed into…
Supernova Primo originated 9 billion years ago, when its progenitor star exploded. The light was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope by a three-year project…
It might sound like science fiction, but on Wednesday, January 18th, astronomers, physicists, and scientists will convene in Tucson, Arizona, to discuss a feat that…
NASA has started to move its inventory of the RS-25D flight engines to the Stennis Space Center for future use in the new heavy-lift launch…
In the past, astronomers had no evidence that there were planets orbiting other stars. Now, they estimate that the Milky Way might contain huge numbers…
NASA’s Kepler spacecraft has discovered the three smallest exoplanets ever detected. All of them are smaller than Earth, and the smallest is no larger than…
It took a three-hour series of thruster-engine firings for NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft to pull off the maneuver to refine its flight path while…
According to a recently completed statistical study by an international team of astronomers, our galaxy has at least 100 billion planets. Gravitational microlensing was used…
Kepler’s mission is to find potentially habitable planets around Earth size and smaller in a target region of the Milk Way galaxy. It’s had quite…
Using the Very Large Baseline Array, astronomers have managed to capture an image of a black hole firing two gigantic pockets of ionized gas at…
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope made a rare discovery when looking deep into the neighboring Andromeda galaxy. Spotted was a population of rare blue stars in…
The largest galaxy cluster in the distant universe has been found and nicknamed “El Gordo,” which is much easier to say than the official name…
NASA’s Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has mapped the entire sky twice with infrared light giving us a large mosaic image that showcases a vast…
