As part of our popular space exploration series we present this local rocket launch reaching very high altitudes and then returning back to the launch site with a baloon parachu landing.

You will notice that an orbit was not actually created, merely shot the crew into space, separated from the engine that could save them and left them to or themselves come re-entry. This video demonstrates the true awesomeness that is the Falcon Heavy. Just look at it!!!

Watch Amazon Jeff Bezos’ space company successfully land a rocket for the 3rd Time. New Shepard flew again on April 2, 2016 reaching an apogee of 339,178 feet or 103 kilometers. It was the third flight with the same hardware. We pushed the envelope on this flight, restarting the engine for the prop

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a galaxy that could make us revise our cosmology models. It's a galaxy named CEERS-1749, which could be the farthest galaxy to date. Astronomers have nicknamed this galaxy Schrodinger's galaxy because it could be at two places at once....

This ESOcast shows how observations at many sites in South America, including ESO's La Silla Observatory, have made the surprise discovery that the remote asteroid Chariklo is surrounded by two dense and narrow rings. This is the smallest object by far found to have rings and only the fifth body in

Soyuz,a Russian spacecraft carrying a three-man crew blasted off Friday from a launch pad in the steppes of Kazakhstan, for the first time taking a shorter path to the International Space Station.

Uber has partnered with NASA to develop an aerial traffic management system for its UberAIR flying taxis and has announced the expansion of its pilot program. Commuters of the future could get some relief from congested roads if Uber’s plans for flying taxis work out. The ride-hailing service has un

The European spacecraft Rosetta has become the first ever to catch up with a comet. It is a landmark step in a decade-long mission that scientists hope will help unlock some of the secrets of the solar system. Rosetta will accompany comet 67P/Churymov-Gerasimenko on its trip around the sun and land ...

The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) is slated to be the first in a new class of extremely large telescopes, capable of producing images with 10 times the clarity of those captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. The GMT aims to discover Earth-like planets around nearby stars and the tiny distortions t...
