Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now know that a day on Uranus lasts for 28 seconds longer than previously thought – a difference that could be crucial in planning future missions to the gas giant

NGC346 is a young star cluster in the Small Magellanic Clouds with an estimated 2,500 stars. It’s about 200,000 light years away and this image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope reveals a beautiful region of star formation. The bright blue stars are many times more massive than the Sun and will live short lives ending in spectacular supernova explosions. The image helps us to understand the stellar formation process in a galaxy that has fewer metals than our own Galaxy.

From America to Europe: How the 2026 total solar eclipse will differ from the great eclipse of 2024.

The Russian Soyuz spacecraft carrying NASA astronaut Jonny Kim and his two cosmonaut colleagues arrived at the International Space Station early Tuesday morning (April 8).

In the early universe, primordial black holes could acquire a "dark charge," giving them an unnaturally long lifetime, new research suggests. This makes them an interesting candidate for dark matter.

A Navy SEAL, medical doctor and NASA astronaut lifted off for an eight-month stay on the International Space Station — and that was just one of the three crewmates on Soyuz MS-27.

A never-before-flown SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched a batch of Starlink satellites into orbit today (April 7) from the coast of California.

Physicists think the insides of black holes may be complex mazes of tangled strings in higher dimensions

A fresh analysis of a decade's worth of Hubble Space Telescope observations shows Uranus takes 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a full rotation — 28 seconds longer than the estimate provided by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft nearly 40 years ago.
