Miss out on Comet 45/P Honda-Mrkos-Padadušáková last month? We'll admit, it was fairly underwhelming in binoculars... but fear not, there's several other binocular comets in the pipeline for 2017.

SPACE VIEW PARK/KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - After a pair of back to back postponements presumably due to technical gremlins, the third time proved to be the charm at last as SpaceX engineers carried out a successful engine test of the Falcon 9 first stage this evening (Mar. 9) atop historic pad 39 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Could Fast Radio Bursts from distant sources be artifacts of an alien propulsion system?

At NASA's Planetary Science Vision 2050 Workshop, which took place last week, some interesting concepts for terraforming Mars and space habitats were presented.

Minds at NASA are cooking up a new approach to finding life on other worlds.

The eagerly anticipated James Webb Space Telescope will be the first of the Super Telescopes to start work.

PORT CANAVERAL - Bit by bit, piece by piece, the first of NASA's SLS megarockets designed to propel American astronauts on deep space missions back to the Moon and beyond to Mars is at last coming together on the Florida Space Coast. And the first big integrated piece of actual flight hardware - the powerful second stage named the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) - has just arrived by way of barge today (Mar. 7) at Port Canaveral, Fl.

In just a few months, NASA's Cassini spacecraft is going to die, crashing into the planet Saturn. Let's look back across the mission's history. What were the highlights? What did we learn?

Due to its rapid orbital period and slow rotation, a day on Mercury lasts 176 days, which is twice as long as a year on that planet!

At last week's Planetary Science Vision 2050 Workshop, scientists presented a concept for exploring Titan with balloons and landers.

Super Telescopes are designed around enormous primary mirrors to gather light from the most distant objects. The Thirty Meter Telescope is no exception.

The latest image captured by the Mars Express has revealed evidence of a massive flood which took place in the Kasei Valles region over three billion years ago.

A new experiment conducted by an international team researchers has shown that Martian meteorites may have lost their water, indicating that Mars was wetter in the past than previously thought.

Could Primordial Black Holes be what the Universe's dark matter is made of?

Located in the Auriga Constellation, roughly 4000 light years from Earth, is the open star cluster known as Messier 36 (aka. the Pinwheel Cluster)

At the Planetary Science Vision 2050 Workshop this week, NASA made a series of presentations outlining plants to explore Europa and other places in the Solar System where life could exist.

Analysis by a team of international researchers has found an asteroid pair has formed tails after they split, making them more like comets than asteroids.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope is different than the other Super Telescopes. It has its own agenda.
