When NASA crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid, it wasn't only a thrilling test of planetary defense. It was also a unique opportunity for scientists.
Our planet isn't the only place in the solar system with dramatic weather changes - Hubble recently captured seasonal changes to two of the outer planets.
This week's image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a galaxy in our backyard, cosmically speaking, taken as part of a project to image nearby galaxies.
NASA has contracted Firefly Aerospace to deliver payloads including a radio telescope to the far side of the moon, which minimizes radio noise coming from Earth.
NASA's robotic rotorcraft Dragonfly will explore Saturn's moon Titan -- a location that is intriguing because it is thought to be potentially habitable.
This week, a SpaceX Cargo Dragon will blast off from Florida carrying scientific equipment and supplies to the International Space Station. Here's how to watch.
A crew of four astronauts has returned safely to Earth from the International Space Station, splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida.
This week's image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a spiral galaxy called NGC 5486, shot through with wisps of pink where new stars are being born.
The tiny helicopter Ingenuity is still continuing to explore Mars, gearing up for its 47th flight. Recently it snapped an image of an otherworldly sunset.
This Hubble image shows a jellyfish galaxy, a galaxy type named for its larger main body with tendrils that float along after it like the sea creature.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set to launch in 2027, will look at vast areas of space to help cosmologists understand the universe on a large scale.
Webb imaged a huge galaxy cluster located 3.2 billion light-years away, which is acting like a magnifying glass and showing a far-off supernova in triplicate.
Astronomers recently captured a remnant called RCW 86, which is the result of a supernova which was observed by Chinese astronomers in the year 185 C.E.
![[Jupiter: left] - The forecast for Jupiter is for stormy weather at low northern latitudes. A prominent string of alternating storms is visible, forming a ‘vortex street’ as some planetary astronomers call it. [Uranus: right] - Uranus’s north pole shows a thickened photochemical haze that looks similar to the smog over cities. Several little storms can be seen near the edge of the polar haze boundary. Note: The planets do not appear in this image to scale.](https://www.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/heic2303a1.jpg?resize=650%2C390&p=1)
