The U.S. Space Force has allocated Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 14 to Stoke Space, in addition to assigning neighboring pads to other space ventures.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are leading a new effort to land a radio telescope on the moon. If successful, the project will mark the first step towards exploring the Dark Ages of the universe.
Scientists have created a gargantuan synthetic survey that shows what we can expect from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's future observations. Though it represents just a small chunk of the real future survey, this simulated version contains a staggeri…
From tiny organisms to gigantic creatures that ruled underwater, here's a 3D visualization of the numerous animals, small and large, that've inhabited our Blue planet.
To better understand the risks posed by frozen viruses, a French professor of medicine and genomics has tested earth samples taken from Siberian permafrost. He's in search of what he describes as "zombie viruses" — and he has found some.

MIT Center for Brains, Minds and Machines researchers provide one of the first theoretical analyses covering optimization, generalization, and approximation in deep networks and offers new insights into the properties that emerge during training.
When physicists recently steered a tiny microparticle toward a cylindrical obstacle, they expected one of two outcomes to occur. The particle would either collide into the obstacle or sail around it. The particle, however, did neither.
The worm moon, the final moon of astronomical winter, was captured in beautiful photographs on Tuesday from cities around the world. The moon would appear full through Wednesday.
Technical staff at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have completed a prototype of a special superconducting cryomodule, the first of its kind in the world. The national lab is home of the Proton Improvement Plan II, or PIP…
While the crowds swarm around Old Faithful to wait for its next eruption, a little pool just north of Yellowstone National Park's most famous geyser is quietly showing off its own unique activity, also at more-or-less regular showtimes. Instead of erupting in…
A large international team of space scientists has discovered that the detection of an exoplanet orbiting the star 40 Eridani was made in error. The group has published a paper on the arXiv pre-print server describing their reanalysis of the star and its exop…
The Bakken Shale Formation—a 200,000-square-mile shale deposit below parts of Canada and North Dakota—has supplied billions of barrels of oil and natural gas to North America for 70 years. A new discovery reveals that the rocks also open a uniquely informativ…
NASA’s Curiosity Rover captured a crisp image of a stunning Mars sunset last month, marking the first time sun rays have been so clearly viewed on the Red Planet.
