It's been a week since NASA lost contact with its new water-hunting moon satellite.

A distant star-killing supernova could have bombarded Earth with radiation strong enough to shift the course of evolution.

Outpatient flu visits and hospitalizations are higher than at any time in the past 15 years

In a record-breaking test, researchers remotely detected radioactive material by shooting it with infrared laser pulses and analysing how the light scattered

Neuroscientist Lore Thaler speaks about her efforts to make echolocation training more accessible

A mysterious neuro-ocular syndrome remains an unknown risk for long-term spaceflight

At the European Space Agency’s technical heart in the Netherlands, engineers have spent the last five months unboxing and testing elements of Europe’s next space science mission. With the two main parts now joined together, Smile is well on its way to being ready to launch by the end of 2025.

New research based on an iron and sulphur mixture mirroring the Red Planet’s inner core suggests that Mars’ deep interior could be solid, like Earth.

A supermassive black hole that doesn't appear to be where we would expect seems to be travelling at more than a thousand kilometres per second – the result of a giant cosmic collision

A Trump administration plan would end the independence of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, where similar oversight muzzling has led to nuclear disasters overseas

NASA engineers are turning off two instruments on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to ensure these twin spacecraft can continue exploring interstellar space.

Colorado-based company Lunar Outpost's MAPP rover is poised to land today (March 6) near the lunar south pole aboard the private Athena moon lander.

It is impossible for us to know exactly how another person's experience of the world compares to our own, but a new experiment is helping to reveal that colour is indeed a shared phenomenon

One week until a total lunar eclipse on March 13 turns the moon blood red. Here's everything you need to know.

The dividing line between gas giant planets and failed stars is blurry at best. The isolated planetary-mass object SIMP J013656.5+093347.3 could be either one. The distinction is largely semantic. However we choose to label and define it, the object displays a surprisingly complex atmosphere for an isolated object without any stellar energy input.
