Skywatchers worldwide captured striking images of the March 3, 2026 total lunar eclipse, as Earth’s shadow turned the full Moon a deep copper red.
NASA’s $72 million Lunar Trailblazer mission failed after a software glitch misaligned its solar panels, causing power loss and ending the Moon-mapping satellite’s operations.
NASA and JAXA prepare for the HTV-X1 cargo spacecraft’s scheduled departure from the International Space Station on March 6, concluding its primary mission and beginning new orbital operations.
The private Mauve space telescope has captured its first star, measuring visible and ultraviolet light from eta Ursae Majoris in a successful first-light milestone.
Lab tests show active tardigrades struggle in simulated Martian soil, but rinsing harmful compounds improves short-term survival, refining astrobiology insights.
A new space image captures interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS glowing with a bright coma and tail as it passes through our solar system on a one-time journey.
A 280-million-year-old fossil shows the earliest direct evidence of a land predator attacking a herbivore, confirmed by preserved bite marks.
The University of Pittsburgh and Google have partnered to use cloud computing and data science tools to provide near real-time views of cosmic events.
Scientists have reconstructed the face of “Little Foot,” a 3.67-million-year-old hominin from South Africa, offering new insight into early human ancestry.
Scientists are exploring whether gravitational-wave “ripples” predicted by Einstein can help resolve the Hubble tension by offering a new way to measure cosmic expansion.
Yellowstone’s Steamboat Geyser, the world’s tallest acidic geyser, has erupted again after years of dormancy. Scientists say the activity reflects normal hydrothermal patterns.
A monumental digital eye atop Chile’s Cerro Pachón is capturing the cosmos in unprecedented breadth and detail, sending nightly alerts and images that may illuminate dark matter, asteroids, and the shifting story of the universe.
Astronomers have detected a rare quadruple star system so compact that three stars orbit within the area Mercury travels around the Sun, with a fourth star further out, offering new insight into stellar dynamics.
Regent of Pekalongan Fadia Arafiq is named a suspect in an alleged procurement corruption case involving a family-run company that frequently won local government contracts.
The first privately owned space telescope, Mauve, has captured its first starlight from eta Ursa Majoris, marking the start of a new era in commercial astronomical observation.
Astronomers using HETDEX have mapped a vast Lyman-alpha “sea of light” between early galaxies, revealing diffuse hydrogen glow and illuminating structures in the young universe.
Astronomers released a striking image of spiral galaxy NGC 941, captured by the Subaru Telescope, showing its luminous arms and dusty lanes as a vivid cosmic wheel.
Scientists discovered molecular “chemical fossils” in ancient rocks, suggesting sponge-like animals lived over 600 million years ago—earlier than traditional fossils indicate.
Betelgeuse, one of the largest known stars, is nearing the end of its life. Scientists say it may explode as a supernova within 100,000 years, posing no threat to Earth.
Scientists in Canada discovered water up to 2.6 billion years old deep underground. Though groundbreaking, its extreme salinity and chemistry make it unsafe to drink.
