NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) revealed galaxies with elongated features of stars stretching from the centers of galaxies into their outer disks. The finding of the barred galaxies, like the Milky Way, means refining theories of…

NASA's InSight mission has ended after more than four years of collecting unique science on Mars. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California eventually could no longer contact NASA's InSight Mars lander. NASA had…

Rice University astronomers reviewed the first images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and saw telltale signs from two dozen previously unseen young stars approximately 7,500 light years from Earth. The published research provides…

The International Space Station (I.S.S.) is the largest modular space station currently in low-Earth orbit and has a long backlog of research projects lined up. Orbital Assembly, a company from Hunstville, Alabama, is announcing a new…

In galaxy clusters, tremendous tidal forces pull out a fraction of stars that wander off into intergalactic space. The faint light emitted by these stars is called intracluster light (ICL) and has a brightness of less than 1% of the…

The James Webb Space Telescope revealed the first detailed molecular and chemical portrait of a distant world's sky. The telescope’s array studied WASP-39 b, a planet nearly as massive as Saturn orbiting a star some 700 light-years away.…

An international team of scientists gathered new evidence about the energetic core of an active galaxy 47 million light-years away. They used the neutrino particles it emits. NGC 1068, also known as Messier 77, is a high-energy neutrino…

Sierra Space and IBM just signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for collaboration on next-gen space technology and software platforms across Sierra’s range of space vehicles and infrastructure. They will integrate IBM's technology…

It wasn't an action film featuring a kamikaze mission, smashing a spacecraft into a stadium-sized asteroid, and resetting its orbit last September. It was NASA’s DART mission and the first test of a planetary defense strategy. MIT…

The James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope captured views of a unique NASA experiment designed to intentionally smash a spacecraft into a small asteroid in the world's first-ever in-space test for planetary defense.…
