A new study by an international team of astronomers has determined that stars in the Milky Way's halo actually formed in our galaxy and were then kicked out

Reclusive SpinLaunch founder Jonathon Yaney recently broke his silence about his vision to reduce the costs of space exploration by developing a space catapult

Is Musk's Tesla Roadster in space a biological threat to life on other worlds, a back-up for life on Earth, or a harmless bauble?

An international team of astronomers recently conducted a study of the Milky Way center to determine why it has a comparatively low rate of star formation.

A new study recorded a massive flare coming from Proxima Centauri, a finding which casts doubt on it having any habitable planets.

A new survey performed by the SHoES team using Hubble has confirmed that the Universe is in an accelerated rate of expansion.

SOHO is celebrating a huge milestone, and one it was never intended to meet: it has now observed one complete, 22-year cycle in the life of the Sun.

Where have all the planets gone? The end of February 2018 sees the three naked eye outer planets – Mars, Jupiter and Saturn-- hiding in the dawn. It takes an extra effort to brave the chill of a February morning, for sure. The good news is, the two inner planets – Mercury and Venus – begin favorable dusk apparitions this week, putting on a fine sunset showing in March.

The microgravity in space makes astronauts' spines to elongate, causing back pain. A new SkinSuit being developed by the European Space Agency gives astronauts some relief.

A team of ESA researchers recently tested a new type of shielding by firing an aluminum bullet at it and filming the results.

A recent study by an international team of scientists has indicated that there may be no connection between SMBHs and star formation in a galaxy.

After a few delays, SpaceX launched the first of its planned constellation of internet satellites, but failed to recover the fairings from the rocket.

In their latest attempt to reduce the costs of individual launches, SpaceX is looking to make their rockets payload fairings reusable.
