NASA's Juno spacecraft has been orbiting Jupiter since July, 2016. But only just recently have scientists had a chance to analyze all of its data — and the results are painting a different picture of Jupiter than what anyone expected. Juno is also returning images unlike any we've ever seen, includi

The non-profit B612 Foundation aims to build, launch, and operate the first privately funded deep space mission—a space telescope in orbit around the Sun that will map the inner Solar System in search of asteroids that could impact Earth.

A look at the James Webb Space Telescope, its mission and the incredible technological challenge this mission presents. The Webb is now in the final stages of testing in the U.S. before being shipped to French Guiana ahead of its expected launch from there at the end of October, 2021.

NASA already has a plan to house astronauts on Mars. NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge asked engineers to design houses that could be built on Mars by robots using 3D printing technology. NASA recently announced winners of phase three of the competition and each house has a futuristic design. Each

The SpaceX Dragon capsule is grappled and berthed to the Earth-facing port of the International Space Station's Harmony module at 12:02 p.m. EDT, May 25, 2012.

Jupiter-Venus conjunction 2023: The two planets will pass within half a degree of each other in a spectacular planetary conjunction on 1-2 March 2023. The conjunction of Jupiter and Venus will be one of the best planetary events that can be seen with unaided eyes. Besides that, in March, the Moon wi...

Another giant leap towards a mission to Mars: expendable structures could be the next extraterrestrial breakthrough, as they weight less to launch and are more compact on the rocket. On arrival, they can be inflated to provide safe and sustainable living quarters, work spaces and laboratories for pe...

New Horizons is the first mission to the Kuiper Belt, a gigantic zone of icy bodies and mysterious small objects orbiting beyond Neptune. This region also is known as the “third” zone of our solar system, beyond the inner rocky planets and outer gas giants. Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics L

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!!!

In the early hours of May 17, 2011 a beautiful filament erupted from the Sun and sent a cloud of plasma into space. This Coronal Mass Ejection was not aimed at Earth but most likely will interact with Earth's magnetic field two days later, creating some of these beautiful auroras. The second segment...
