According to a new study, Astronomers think they have an explanation for the unpredictably blinking star RZ Piscium. It eats planets.

The mysterious "Tabby's Star" is more likely surrounded by dust than encircled in an energy-absorbing alien megastructure, new study finds.

In a first, NASA has demonstrated X-ray navigation in space, paving the way for autonomous spacecraft in deep space.

At long last, astronauts on the moon may have access to their very own 4G network thanks to a partnerships between a few tech giants and a team of “part-time” scientists.

Bizarre geometric storms measuring several thousands miles across, surround a massive cyclone on each of Jupiter's poles.

Thousands of previously unknown craters have been spotted on the moon thanks to an artificial intelligence program designed by researchers at the University of Toronto.

At its core, the search for exoplanets is the search for habitable exoplanets and AI may now help make that hunt easier. Using machine learning algorithms, the researchers were able to calculate how well exoplanets could survive in stable orbits, outperforming scientists who made a career out of stuff like this.

In a paper published online this week in The Astronomical Journal, an international group of scientists reported that dozens of planetary candidates have been identified by measuring light fluctuations using K2, the mission that followed up NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope.

NASA has once again delayed the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope -- the largest and most expensive space telescope in history. The new target launch is March 2021, and the cost of the project has ballooned to $9.6 billion.

For the past 28 years, the Hubble Space Telescope has captured some of the most iconic images of outer space. Now, as Mars and Saturn have swung by the Earth in recent months, the legendary telescope has snapped a handful of beautiful images to add to an already impressive collection.

To get a better understanding of what habitats might look like on Mars, NASA partnered with Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois for its 3D-Printed Habitat Centennial Challenge competition. The agency recently announced the five winners of the latest phase.

For the first time, astronomers have confirmed Einstein’s century-old theory of general relativity in action near a black hole. An international team of professional sky-gazers and observed gravitational redshift around a supermassive black hole.

Streetwear designer Heron Preston celebrated Nasa's 60th birthday by releasing a line of spacesuit-inspired streetwear, including hoodies, jackets, pants, hats, belts, socks, and a backpack. To promote the collection, he launched a stylish mannequin up to the stratosphere.

Omega Centauri is a sight to behold. It contains some 10 million stars, making it the largest globular cluster in the Milky Way. And at about 16,000 light years away, it is visible to the naked eye and a prime object of observation for professional astronomers. But does it host life?

In a recent study, the researchers used an A.I. system to discover dozens of previously unidentified fast radio bursts from a source some three billion light years away. The fast radio bursts were picked from out from a data set that had already been analyzed by astronomers.

Researchers at the University of Zurich have shown how space farming may be possible. By encouraging plants to excrete a certain hormone, they’ve demonstrated that crops can thrive despite challenging conditions, such as low-nutrient soil and microgravity.

The European Space Agency is developing an astronaut center in Cologne, Germany, where it will replicate the surface of the moon. Dubbed Luna, the facility will be used to test new technology and tools that future crews may find handy while exploring our nearest cosmic neighbor.

The story of the cigar-shaped comet called 'Oumuamua just got a little bit weirder now that researchers from the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics say the outer-space object may actually be an alien probe.

Scientists are beginning to worry about five new strains of microbes found in the toilet on the International Space Station. They're similar to recently discovered multi-drug resistant bacteria on Earth but they don't pose an immediate health risk to astronauts.

Researchers from the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute and Astrobotic Technology have demonstrated a way that astronauts may be able to map Martian caves using a Lidar-equipped drone that can travel autonomously without GPS. The first field test was successful.

NASA is considering a plan to send rover to the moon in the mid-2020s. It would touch down a few hundred feet from one of the moon’s deep pits and deploy a smaller rover, Axel, to rappel hundreds of feet into the caverns that pockmark the moon’s surface.

A new study from researchers at the German Aerospace Center shows that some microbes (in particular, the “extremophiles,” or ones that live in extreme conditions) can inhabit the inhospitable environment of space outside the International Space Station (ISS). The study raises hope for life on Mars.
