We don't have long to wait to see the moon take a "bite" out of the sun, we're ready… are you?

To make a warp drive you have to arrange spacetime so that you never locally travel faster than light but still arrive at your destination…faster than light. And in 1994 Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre figured out how.

Both "The Electric State" and "The Wizard of Oz" latch onto the themes of family, home, tolerance, identity and the interconnectedness of the individuals we share our lives with.

"That capability gap is significantly narrowed, and we've got to change the way we're looking at space, or that capability gap may reverse and not be in our favor anymore."

A new model that incorporates data gathered by the JWST could help scientists understand the composition and mass of objects in the distant Kuiper Belt and beyond.

Many galaxies are visible in this deep field exposure, and its just a part of a larger mosaic, zoomed in 16 times.

Home to the world's highest tides and biggest lobsters, New Brunswick will experience a partial solar eclipse at sunrise on March 29, 2025. For one eclipse-chaser, it's the ultimate moon-shot.

The European Space Agency is considering a mission to a metal-rich asteroid. The target is Kleopatra, an M-type asteroid with two moons. These asteroids are relatively common, but they're difficult to observe because they're in the middle and outer regions of the main asteroid belt.

NASA's Lucy spacecraft will soon travel by asteroid Donaldjohanson, which formed roughly 150 million years ago.

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost 1 has completed its brief lunar mission. The lander spent two weeks conducting operations on the surface of the Moon before witnessing its final sunset as the Sun dipped below the horizon. This sunset marked the end of the mission, as Blue Ghost lacks the capability to maintain warmth during the freezing cold lunar night. Despite its short operational period, the lander accomplished its objectives, successfully testing all ten NASA payloads, gathering valuable data, and transmitting the findings back to Earth.
