Artemis 1 has sent home its first stunning image from what will be a 25-day mission through deep space.

A massive dust storm on Mars that threatened a NASA lander is finally fading away.

Christmas came one day early for a robotic geologist stationed on the Red Planet.

Uranus is a strange world, knocked on its side and with a lopsided magnetic field. Its moons may be even stranger.

Smashing a spacecraft into an asteroid isn't NASA's usual approach to planetary science, but it was certainly an opportunity nonetheless.

A week or two after a NASA spacecraft slammed into an asteroid, scientists have spotted something unexpected: The space rock has grown two tails.

NASA's newest space telescope is hard at work despite an ongoing instrument glitch and continuing small micrometeoroid strikes.

A deep-space mission is celebrating the first anniversary of its launch from Earth by zipping closer to the planet than the International Space Station's orbit.

Scientists have uncovered a new mystery about Uranus' rings buried deep in data from NASA's iconic Voyager 2 mission.

Puerto Rico's iconic radio telescope, which collapsed in 2020, won't be rebuilt, although the site will see a new education center open next year.

NASA's TESS mission to spot exoplanets is in safe mode after a computer glitch hit the spacecraft on Monday (Oct. 10).

A dramatic asteroid crash that slammed a NASA probe into a space rock in a first-of-its-kind test to defend our planet was more effective than scientists dreamed possible.

Scientists have acknowledged for months that the mission's end was near, and now, a continent-size dust storm is darkening the Martian skies, further impacting power production.

NASA's Lucy spacecraft still has five years of trekking through space before it sees its first Trojan asteroid, but mission scientists are already getting a sense of what these rocks look like.

DART truly made a mess last night.

It's rare for spacecraft mission personnel to cheer at the words "loss of signal," but tonight, that's exactly what happened.

NASA's DART spacecraft is no more, but its final view is incredible.

The DART spacecraft's tiny companion is ready to photograph a brand-new impact site Monday night (Sept. 26).

For NASA's DART spacecraft, the drama happens in space, but mission success relies on telescopes back on Earth.

When NASA's DART mission slams itself into an asteroid called Dimorphos, three different science spacecraft will be trying to watch the action.

Scientists expected that the lander would run out of power by the end of the summer, but InSight is still eking out science data and may for several months to come — potentially even into January.

Satellites are watching as Hurricane Fiona, currently a Category 1 storm, pummels Caribbean islands.

NASA's Perseverance rover has spotted a phenomenon scientists had lost hope of ever seeing on Mars.

On Sept. 26, DART will slam headfirst into a small asteroid, the rare case when a spacecraft's destruction is the desired outcome.

NASA's venerable Voyager 1 spacecraft has reached a key milestone.
