Meteorites that fall to Earth are ancient time capsules, and scientists who merged two imaging techniques may be able to tell us if and how they brought water to Earth.

It's been a cloudy season for Saturn's largest moon, Titan.

NASA's bold mission to explore Jupiter's icy moon is facing tight schedules getting instruments installed and ready for the planned 2024 launch.

This dramatic image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope displays a galactic merger of cosmic proportions.

A new video shows how a team of NASA and European Space Agency spacecraft plan to relay Martian rock samples to Earth.

The hole could beam solar material outwards at speeds up to 1.8 million mph (2.9 million kph)

Satellites are watching closely as the world's largest volcano erupts for the first time in decades.

The minerals were found inside a slice of the El Ali meteorite, which was discovered in Somalia in 2020.

A quantum experiment has been used to model the dynamics of a wormhole, which could be the key to uniting quantum physics and Einstein's general relativity.

Astronomers are increasingly concerned about the future of the night sky as new images show shocking trails left by a massive communications satellite against otherwise clear, dark patches of sky.

Astronomers have made the most distant observation of a black hole ripping apart a star and feasting upon it, thanks to a jet of stellar "leftovers" blasted directly toward Earth.

By using a chain of atoms to simulate a black hole's event horizon, researchers have shown that Hawking radiation may exist just as the late physicist described.

Sea levels are expected to rise around the contiguous U.S. faster than previously thought, a new NASA study finds.

Astronomers may finally have a way to hunt for a monstrous supermassive black hole they suspect lurks in the dwarf galaxy next door.

The aircraft-borne SOFIA telescope could not find signs of a compound possibly linked to biological activity during observations of Venus' atmosphere.

China has completed the construction of the Daocheng Solar Radio Telescope (DSRT), the world's largest array of telescopes dedicated to studying the sun and how its behavior affects Earth.

Andromeda, the Milky Way's neighboring spiral galaxy, may be a cosmic cannibal that has been growing by chowing down on smaller galaxies.
