This year, the space business items I'm looking to see center around turning aspirations into achievements.

The elusive planet Mercury reaches its furthest point from the sun on Friday (Jan. 12), with this separation allowing skywatchers a rare chance to spot the tiny planet.

Scientists in China recently made a discovery that every 8.5 years, the Earth's inner core wobbles around its rotational axis. This shift is likely caused by a tiny misalignment between the inner core

When light goes through a material, it often behaves in unpredictable ways. This phenomenon is the subject of an entire field of study called "nonlinear optics," which is now integral to technological and scientific advances from laser development and optical…

The remarkably rare find will help scientists understand how the ancestors of many of today’s terrestrial animals adapted to life on land.

America's East Coast — particularly its major population centers — is sinking at a scarily rapid pace, a new satellite imagery study shows.

Europa, one of Jupiter's many moons, may be capable of supporting life because its icy surface likely obscures a deep, salty ocean. Europa's ocean is also in direct contact with its mantle rocks, and interactions between rock, water, and ice could provide ene…

New DNA testing means experts can study chromosomal abnormalities from thousands of years ago.

Researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, have discovered X-ray activity that sheds light on the evolution of galaxies.

One of those challenges is working with cryogenic fluids, meaning fluids existing in a liquid state between minus 238 degrees Fahrenheit and absolute zero

The Earth-facing side of the sun has been relatively calm, but NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) detected a significant plasma eruption behind the sun's eastern limb. Does this pose a danger to Earth? Here is what space experts have revealed.

The world’s oldest known fossilized skin belonged to a species of reptile that lived before dinosaurs roamed the Earth, a new study has found.

A team of astronomers including those from the University of Tokyo have created the first-ever map of magnetic field structures within a spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy. Previous studies on galactic magnetic fields only gave a very general picture, but the…

Mercury will still be hard to see, but one can use bright Venus to find it.

Photos show the “very beautiful” and “almost completely unknown” ocean animal.

Turkey is poised to enter the competitive arena of lunar exploration, with the Minister of Industry and Technology, Fatih Kajir, unveiling the nation’s ambitious plans to deploy unmanned spacecraft to the moon twice within the next ten years. Minister Kajir s…

Astronomers have completed the largest and most detailed study of what triggers a star birth in the universe’s biggest galaxies, using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes.

The Hubble Space Telescope has helped detect something remarkable: the strongest and oldest radio transmission ever recorded.

Astronomers analyzing 13 years of data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have found an unexpected and as yet unexplained feature outside of our galaxy. “It is a completely serendipitous discovery,” said Alexander Kashlinsky, a cosmologist at the Uni…

And you thought you were in need of some moisturizer.

'If it's confirmed in the future, that would be the first indirect detection of liquid water on an exoplanet.'

US News: Nasa administrator Bill Nelson has expressed confidence that the United States will beat China in the race to send astronauts to the moon.

The effects of vitamin D/iron statuses and calcium intake on lumbar cortical and trabecular bone in male adults.

China and Europe partnered on the Einstein probe, which will use ‘lobster eyes’ to hunt for the X-ray light.
