A process developed by NASA, which could be very useful for building telescopes in space, will soon be tested with an orbital launch.

If we want to travel to the stars, we're going to have to be creative. The answer might be light sails made of sheets of graphene.

NASA has announced that the Lunar Gateway could be launched in the coming years using the Falcon Heavy or another commercial provider.

Scientists with the ESO have detected a triple system with a black hole roughly 1,000 light-years from Earth - making it the closest ever observed.

The United States Space Force just released a recruitment video. If you're looking for your purpose, and suspect it's off-world, this is the service for you!

A new study indicates that, contrary to what has been previously argued, galaxies like our own may be the most likely place to find intelligent life

So, you think you know Galileo? A new book out from Simon and Schuster publishing looks at the life and times of one of the most famous astronomers there ever was: Galileo Galilei. Galileo and the Science Deniers by Dr. Mario Livio not only looks at the life and times of the famous astronomer Galileo, but busts some of the most famous myths surrounding Galileo, and looks at his greatest discoveries and tempestuous clash with the Roman Catholic Church and its aftermath. Livio also connects the science denialism of the day, with comparisons to modern clashes between politics and science.

New research using data from MAVEN shows that Mars had a magnetic field earlier and later in its history than previously thought.

Fast radio bursts last for such a short time that it is difficult to track down the source. Now astronomers have found one in our own back yard.

A new breed of smart telescopes is set to take users past these hurdles, and get them out under the night sky. We recently had a chance to put Vaonis' Stellina 'smart telescope' through its paces, and we're intrigued at the glimpse it provides at the future of observational astronomy.
