Debris released from the asteroid Dimorphos during NASA's DART mission has a higher momentum and less random distribution than expected, which "changes the physics we need to consider when planning these types of missions," researchers say.

At the 246th American Astronomical Society meeting in Alaska last month, scientists discussed how Trump's budget cuts could affect operations for the Hubble Space Telescope and JWST.

During a record-smashing flight through the sun’s corona in Dec. 2024, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured the closest-ever images of our home star. Now, NASA has finally revealed what the daredevil probe saw.

NASA's new "CODEX" telescope has snapped its first photos of the sun's outer atmosphere, revealing previously imperceptible changes that could help scientists better predict potentially dangerous space weather events.

NASA's Chandra Observatory has combined different wavelength images of the Andromeda galaxy to honor astronomer Vera Rubin, and then created a music video by converting the light in those images to musical notes.

Last year, astronomers detected a powerful burst of radio waves from within our galaxy. Researchers now say it came from NASA's defunct Relay 2 satellite — but they're not sure what caused it.

Spacecraft from NASA and India's space agency have snapped orbital photos of the Japanese lunar lander Resilience after its recent "hard landing" on the moon. Some of the images show pieces of the failed lander strewn across the surrounding surface.

NASA's Curiosity rover has snapped its first images of web-like "boxwork" features on the surface of Mars. The zig-zagging rocks could provide clues about the Red Planet's watery past and whether it once harbored extraterrestrial life.

SpaceX's Starship 36 underwent a "catastrophic failure" on the stand at its Texas launch site, but the latest setback is unlikely to dent the company's ambitions.
