'I started looking at the raw images put out by NASA 10-12 years ago.'

A host of astronomical objects throng this image from the Hubble Space Telescope. Background galaxies ranging from stately spirals to fuzzy ellipticals are strewn across the image, and bright foreground stars much closer to home are also present, surrounded b…

Images take in the natural beauty of the aurora borealis, Moray Firth and the night-time skies

As I usually do in my January column, I will present my list of astronomy highlights for the new year. In assembling this list, I selected events that will be

The current Soyuz crew at the space station will extend their stays for an unspecified time.

Humans have always been drawn to explore, discover, and learn as much as we can about the world – and worlds – around us. This isn’t always easy, but it’s in our nature. NASA and its partners aim to land the first woman and first person of colour on the surfa…

A new study indicates that scientists have substantially underestimated the energy output of supermassive black hole-powered active galactic nuclei.

A monstrous 420-foot asteroid could make a close approach to Earth as soon as today, NASA has revealed.

For every potentially damaging asteroid spotted, there are millions falling towards the Earth unseen.

The hypothetical new particles could potentially account for the observations made by the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope. According to a new study published in Physical Review Letters, it is possible that dark matter is composed of u…

Russia's space Agency Roscosmos has set out a contingency plan for the evacuation of crew members from damaged spacecraft Syozu MS-22. A SpaceX spacecraft would be used to retrieve US astronaut Frank Rubio if an early evacuation from the orbital station is n…

Researchers have identified ‘green pea’ galaxies deep in outer space that are thought to date back more than 13 billion years.

This is the fifth Falcon Heavy launch and there are four more planned for this year.

NGC 346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies, is full of mystery. Now, though, it is less mysterious thanks to new findings from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope.

Using talking face creation, it is possible to create lifelike video portraits of a target individual that correspond to the speech content. Given that it provides the interested person's visual material in addition to the voice, it has a lot of promise in ap…

This Friday two astronauts from the International Space Station will perform a spacewalk to install new hardware to the station's exterior. Here's how to watch.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has made its first confirmation of an exoplanet.

The latest Tweet by SpaceX states, 'T-1 hour until Falcon Heavy’s launch of the USSF-67 mission; all systems and weather continue to look good for liftoff at 5:56 p.m. ET → ...'

This incoming rock's last known sighting was believed to be 50,000 years ago.

Because the launch will take place just a few minutes after sunset, those on the Space Coast will see what’s called a jellyfish effect.

Astronomers detected a rare star eclipse, where one star was masked by dust from its companion in a binary system.

NASA is asking for the public's help in learning more about exoplanets in a citizen science program called Exoplanet Watch.
