The Hubble Space Telescope is on the track of a supernova that exploded in the region of a galaxy in 2020.

Data from China's Zhurong Mars rover reveals evidence of water activity on tiny dunes, suggesting parts of the Red Planet were shaped by salty water as recently as 400,000 years ago.

Using the InSight lander scientists have measured seismic waves traveling through the core of Mars for the first time gathering clues as to why the Red Planet may not be fit for life.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have spotted seven galaxies that are part of a developing galactic cluster just 650 million years after the Big Bang.

The chief designer of China's Mars exploration program has provided a long-awaited comment on the status of the country's Zhurong Mars rover.

A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a nearby stellar nursery called NGC 1333. Bright stars shine through clouds of dust and gas, showcasing the chaotic nature of star formation.

Maxar Technologies' Worldview-3 satellite has snapped images of NASA's Landsat 8 spacecraft in orbit, showing clear details of the powerful Earth-observation satellite.

NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, is now in its fifth year scanning the sky for new worlds.

Astronomers observing the strange "rock comet" hybrid Phaethon as it passed the sun have found a surprise that could upend 14 years of thinking about the weird asteroid.

Fast radio bursts are one of the biggest mysteries in astronomy with origins that are currently unknown, but scientists now have twice as many of these repeating rapid bursts of energy to study.

Astronomers have taken the first direct image of a powerful jet blasting out of a black hole. The jet is emerging from the monstrous supermassive black hole at the heart of Messier 87.

"It's Quieter in the Twilight" spotlights the engineers still on the job for NASA's Voyager mission, whose twin probes launched in 1977.

A massive, cold clump of material in the heart of the "Dragon cloud" is ready to form a single giant star, and astronomers got a rare glimpse of the event.

NASA has spent several years focusing on diversity and inclusion, but the agency agrees with results of a recent audit showing that more improvement is needed.

The U.S. government has published an updated action plan for how to deal with potentially dangerous asteroids.

For the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope revealed the chemical composition of dusty planet-birthing disks of material around distant stars.

Astronomers witnessed a young Jupiter-size planet as it carves out spiral-shaped cavities in the disk of planet-birthing gas and dust that surrounds its parent star.
