Researchers propose that tiny technological remnants from extinct alien civilizations could have landed on the moon after traveling through interstellar space. And it may not take long to find them, they claim.

During the Sept. 11 attacks, NASA astronaut Frank Culbertson — the only American not on Earth at the time — snapped a "sobering" shot of smoke pouring across New York City as the second tower fell.

New images from South Korea's Danuri lunar orbiter reveal where a runaway SpaceX rocker part slammed into the moon on Wednesday.

A Long March 3B rocket was struck by lightning in front of a packed crowd, around 30 seconds after lifting off from a Chinese spaceport. Despite this, the spacecraft survived its ascent and successfully deployed its payload in orbit.

Researchers predict that up to 7.6 billion people will be able to see the potentially hazardous asteroid Apophis fly past Earth on April 13, 2029. The skyscraper-size space rock will come closer than some satellites, making it clearly visible to the naked eye.

New measurements suggest that two of the Milky Way's spiral arms are around 10% farther away from Earth than we thought. The findings may require experts to revise estimates of the total size of our home galaxy.

China's Tianwen-2 spacecraft has captured the first close-up photo of one of Earth's "quasi-moons," Kamo'oalewa. However, the image and the timing of its release suggest that it may be harder for the probe to collect samples from the space rock than originally planned.

A 2020 satellite photo shows off the ethereal beauty of submerged sandbanks and seagrass beds in the Great Bahama Bank. This massive underwater structure is as old as the dinosaurs and has been admired by scientists for decades.

A recently discovered "super Earth" located around 25 light-years from our planet is not as massive as previously thought, raising the chances that it has the conditions to support life.

A new James Webb Space Telescope study has identified a very specific wavelength of light missing from both Pluto and Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The surprising signal suggests that these worlds harbor an unknown molecule that has not been seen anywhere in the solar system or beyond.
