To help guide NASA’s efforts over the next decade, the agency today released its Planetary Defense Strategy and Action Plan.

Chemical signals released by muscles during exercise promote neural development in the brain, researchers report.

Northern lights enthusiasts got a surprise mixed in with the green bands of light dancing in the Alaska skies: A light baby blue spiral resembling a galaxy appeared amid the aurora for a few minutes.

It looks like a black hole and bends light like a black hole, but it could actually be a new type of star.

Amateur astrophotography is becoming increasingly popular among the astronomy community, as advancements in telescope and camera technologies allow individuals from all walks of life to observe the heavens in mind-blowing detail, including our own Sun, albeit…

"Where we were in 1968, when humans first set out on this voyage, our country is in a very similar place now."

Five years of imagery from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have been stitched together to create an all-sky and northern & southern eclip...

Microsoft is reportedly joining the likes of Amazon, Google and Meta in developing its own in-house AI chips to fight the rising costs of Nvidia GPUs.
