Relying on Hubble and gravitational lensing, a team of astronomers made the unexpected discovery of a galaxy that ceased star formation just three billion years after the Big Bang.

Yippy-ki-yay! Saturn rides the back of a prancing pony across the evening sky. See it the next clear night.

You can catch a glimpse of what its like to see NASA's Curiosity Mars rover simultaneously high overhead from orbit and trundling down low across the Red Planet's rocky surface as she climbs the breathtaking terrain of Mount Sharp - as seen in new images from NASA we have stitched together into a mosaic view; showing the perspective views above.

We know trips in space will take a long time. Can we go to sleep for the journey and then wake up when we arrive?

A researcher working with the ESA has proposed creating a fleet of magnetic tugs to safely and effectively remove space debris from orbit.

The ESA recently decided to move forward with its LISA mission, a trio of satellites that will be the first space-based gravitational wave detector.

It isn't every day we get a new moon added to the list of solar system satellites. The combined observational power of three observatories—Kepler, Herschel and Hubble—led an astronomical detective tale to its climatic conclusion: distant Kuiper Belt Object 2007 OR10 has a tiny moon.

The latest catalog to be released by the Kepler mission features and additional 10 potentially-habitable planets, and has led to some interesting conclusions about those that have been discovered so far.

Located in the Puppis constellation, approximately 1,600 light years from Earth, a bright open star cluster that is approximately 78 million years of age.

This summer, New Mexico-based aerospace company will be testing the aerospike engine, a concept which almost became part of the Space Shuttle

We've now had multiple detections of gravitational waves, opening up a whole new field: gravitational astronomy. We talk about the detections made so far, and how we can see the Universe in a whole new way.

Musk has published an essay that outlines his vision for colonizing Mars, which he unveiled last year at the 67th annual meeting of the IAC,

Now well into her 13th year roving the Red Planet, NASA's astoundingly resilient Opportunity rover has arrived at the precipice of "Perseverance Valley" - overlooking the upper end of an ancient fluid-carved valley on Mars "possibly water-cut" that flows down into the unimaginably vast eeriness of alien Endeavour crater.

Located in the northern hemisphere is the faint constellation of Corona Borealis, otherwise known as the "Northern Crown".

A study by a team of international astronomers spotted something truly rare - a failed star orbiting a star near the end of its life

According to a new study by a research team from UC Berkeley and Harvard, our Sun may have had a binary twin that it lost billions of years ago.
