We just launched our MERCH!!! Please, visit our store and let us know what you think!!! 👇👇

This unexpected finding suggests solar wind can shape planets without strong global magnetic fields in ways scientists had not observed before.

NASA’s silent MAVEN spacecraft may still be changing Mars science. Archived data revealed unusual atmospheric fluctuations after a powerful solar storm, showing evidence of the Zwan Wolf effect inside Mars’ upper atmosphere.

The move gives NASA more schedule security as Boeing’s Starliner continues facing certification delays, keeping crew access to low Earth orbit stable through the station’s remaining years.

NASA plans to add more missions to SpaceX’s Commercial Crew contract, strengthening Dragon’s role in transporting astronauts to the International Space Station.

We have searched thousands of worlds, but so far, Earth is still the only place where life is confirmed. Maybe life is common, or maybe our planet is far more rare than we want to believe. If Earth is truly alone, protecting it becomes the biggest responsibility in the universe.

Could dark matter be made of ancient black holes? Scientists say yes and we explain it all in our new video. Watch the full video below 👇

Instead of a separate metal core and rocky mantle, many could contain a deep mixed fluid of hydrogen, silicate, and iron, changing how scientists understand their formation, cooling, atmospheres, and long-term evolution.

A new exoplanet study suggests that sub-Neptunes, the most common known planet type in the galaxy, may not have Earth-like interiors.

The mission includes installing an experiment, removing hardware, and possibly checking a cargo spacecraft antenna problem. It is another reminder that keeping the ISS running takes constant work in the harsh environment of space.

NASA is going live for a new ISS spacewalk as two Roscosmos cosmonauts head outside the station for maintenance and science work.

NASA’s Europa Clipper could provide clearer answers when it reaches Jupiter’s system in 2030.

New analysis of 14 years of Hubble data has weakened the case that Europa is ejecting water vapor into space. Scientists now think earlier plume detections may have been affected by observational noise, meaning Europa’s hidden ocean remains promising but still unconfirmed.

Earth’s atmosphere is a layered shield that makes life possible, from the troposphere where weather happens, to the stratosphere that holds the ozone layer, the mesosphere where many meteors burn up, the thermosphere where auroras glow, and the exosphere.

The mosaic shows nearly 6,000 confirmed and candidate exoplanets, giving scientists a deeper view of worlds beyond our solar system and new targets in the search for potentially habitable planets.

NASA’s TESS spacecraft has released its most complete all sky map yet, built from 96 observing sectors between 2018 and 2025.

Sometimes the hardest part of space exploration is not reaching the Moon, it is helping people trust the evidence.

The Artemis 2 astronauts faced a public accusation that their Moon mission was fake, but the facts are clear. NASA livestreamed the mission, thousands watched the launch in person, and the crew safely completed the first human journey around the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972.

From the observable universe to galaxies, planets, cells, atoms, and quarks, reality exists across an incredible range of scales. This is a zoom through the structures that make up nature, from the largest cosmic regions we can see to the smallest building blocks of matter.

The upgraded vehicle is designed to test stronger engines, improved heat shield systems, payload deployment, and key technologies needed for future reusable deep space missions, including NASA’s Artemis lunar program.

SpaceX is targeting May 21, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. EDT for the first launch of its Starship V3 megarocket from Starbase, Texas.

SpaceX will launch its 1st-ever Starship V3 megarocket today.
