Two NASA astronauts stuck in orbit for over two months after their Boeing Starliner spacecraft developed a fault will return to Earth in a SpaceX Dragon craft.

It's now been more than two months since the Boeing Starliner launched on what was supposed to be a one-week mission. NASA will provide an update tomorrow.

Citizen scientists have spotted an object that is traveling at such a speed that it will shoot out of the Milky Way and head out into intergalactic space.

The Juice spacecraft swung back home on its way to Jupiter and used both Earth and the moon's gravity to slingshot it forward, in the first lunar-Earth flyby.

The Perseverance rover on Mars is set to begin its newest challenge: a slog up the rim of the Jezero Crater that will take months to complete.

While most often used to drill for oil on Earth, BP has entered an agreement with NASA that could see its technology used to drill for resources on the moon.

Lunar scientists were shocked when NASA announced that it was canceling work on its moon rover VIPER. Now, the mission may have the chance to go ahead.

Researchers have identified what they believe could be oceans' worth of water on Mars. There's just one snag: it's deep underground.
