NASA says a crater 728 feet across (222 meters) formed on the Moon's eastern edge sometime between April 11 and May 22, 2024. It was found only in October 2025, when an image analyst spotted it…
NASA has switched on the main camera of its Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and says it is working in space. The agency's team activated the Wide Field Instrument on the morning of Sept. 11. The…
A Roscosmos Progress 96 freighter lifted off toward the International Space Station on Sept. 16 with nearly three tons of food, fuel and cargo aboard, NASA said. The spacecraft carries no crew; it…
Astronomers have confirmed a planet inside a gap in the disk of dust and gas still surrounding the young star Elias 2-24, and the authors describe it as the youngest exoplanet discovered to date.…
How much ice Greenland and Antarctica have lost is not one measurement. It is dozens. One group weighs the ice from orbit, with satellites that sense small changes in the pull of Earth's gravity.…
The team that analyzed NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample reports that the material returned from Bennu meets the mission's definition of a clean sample, apart from an isolated 1.24% by mass that…
Zero longitude on Earth is a line through Greenwich. On Mars it is a small crater called Airy-0, and the line runs through it by definition. Every map coordinate on the planet, every landing ellipse,…
NASA says its Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is carrying enough propellant for at least 22 years of science operations, more than double the 10-year fuel budget the observatory was designed…
Between the softest X-rays Chandra can detect and the extreme-ultraviolet light that gas between the stars absorbs lies a slice of the spectrum that has been difficult to survey. Chandra's…
On Feb. 9, 2023, astronomers pointed an infrared spectrograph at a comet and measured the temperature of the water gas pouring off it. The warmest water was not at the comet. It was a little way out,…
NASA and IBM released an open-source artificial intelligence model for studying the Moon on Sept. 10, along with a free dataset that pulls observations from nine instruments across four lunar…
Astronomers combing NASA's public Chandra X-ray Observatory archive have picked out 84 objects in six galaxies that glow in the faintest X-rays and then vanish from images taken at higher energies.…
