What is an exoplanet? An astrophysicist explains why they are vital for finding alien life
Scientists might have just found Earth's icy, distant cousin a few hundred million light-years away. HD 137010 b is one of thousands of exoplanets, or planets that orbit other stars, and is potentially the first Earth-like one that also orbits a sun-like star. Initially observed in 2017 with data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and its Kepler Space Telescope, further details about HD 137010b came out this year.
NASA on ‘aggressive’ schedule to complete SLS repairs for April launch
NASA has about three weeks to complete repairs to the Space Launch System’s upper stage to make the next launch window for the Artemis 2 mission in early April. The post NASA on ‘aggressive’ schedule to complete SLS repairs for April launch appeared first on SpaceNews.
This Week In Space podcast: Episode 199 — The Obsolete Astronaut?
On Episode 199 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik talk with Dr. Pascal Lee, who has thoughts on how and when robots may perform better —and more safely —than humans in space.
Is it legal to own, buy, or sell Apollo mission moon rocks and lunar samples?
NASA has severe penalties for those who dare to deal in astromaterials.
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' is making Trek horny again, and it's about time!
"I am programmed in multiple techniques. A broad variety of pleasuring."
See the 'impossible' as sunrise and a total lunar eclipse appear at the same time on March 3
A rare atmospheric effect called selenelion could briefly let skywatchers see the rising sun and a blood moon at the same time.
'Pushing this competition': SpaceX's Starship might not fly on NASA's newly revamped Artemis 3 mission
NASA's Artemis 3 mission will no longer land astronauts on the moon —and it might not involve SpaceX's Starship megarocket, either.
February finale: SpaceX wraps up month with three Starlink launches this week
Two Falcon 9 launches from Florida and one from California deployed 83 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit, wrapping up February 2026 for the SpaceX network.
Apollo moon rocks may have finally solved an old lunar mystery
A new analysis of Apollo moon samples reveals insight into the history of the lunar magnetic field.
Nostrovia! We finally got our 1st look at Apple TV's 'Star City,' the Soviet 'For All Mankind' spinoff

The US Air Force's latest X-plane looks like a missile — that shoots other missiles
The U.S. military is developing a new experimental aircraft known as the X-68A and looks a lot like a cruise missile that is also capable of launching its own missiles.
Assessment of rare 'teenage' planetary system deepens understanding of cosmic evolution
Planetary systems such as our solar system take hundreds of millions of years to evolve. Since humanity has only existed for a sliver of that time, astronomers have only observed planetary systems at birth or, more often, long after they have settled into adulthood. There is an information gap about what happens in the middle.
If Godzilla attacked, could we survive? We asked the experts
Let's say Godzilla exists and walks among us like in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Could humans actually stop him, or even survive? We spoke to the experts to find out.
Harnessing the Sun to Extract Oxygen on the Moon
Light shines onto a solar concentrator being tested in this Aug. 7, 2025, photo. The concentrator is part of the Carbothermal Reduction Demonstration (CaRD) project, which aims to produce oxygen from simulated lunar regolith for use at the Moon’s south pole. For this test, the team integrated the solar concentrator, mirrors, and software and confirmed […]
NASA's Artemis 3 astronauts won't land on the moon after all. 'This is just not the right pathway forward.'
NASA is changing its plans to return astronauts to the moon, and redrawing the architecture for how the Artemis missions will look moving forward.
NASA revamps Artemis moon landing program by modeling it after speedy Apollo
NASA said Friday it's revamping its Artemis moon exploration program to make it more like the fast-paced Apollo program half a century ago, adding an extra practice flight before attempting a high-risk lunar landing with a crew in two years.
Using moon dirt with 3D printing to build future lunar colonies
Simulated lunar dirt can be turned into extremely durable structures, potentially paving the way to more sustainable and cost-effective space missions, a new study suggests. Using a special laser 3D printing method, researchers melted fake lunar soil—a synthetic version of the fine dusty material on the moon surface, called regolith simulant—into layers and fused it with a base surface to manufacture small, heat-resistant objects.
Could Mars soil block Earth microbes? 'Water bears' offer a clue
Tardigrades, commonly known as water bears, may be better suited by a new name: Tardiguardians of the Galaxy. Unlike the fictional ragtag team of unenthusiastic heroes, the microscopic animals are providing real insight into how humans could adapt extraterrestrial resources to support space exploration, as well as whether such resources could help protect against the Earthly contaminants that humans might shed.

The total lunar eclipse on March 3 will be the last until New Year's Eve 2028
After this 'blood moon,' our natural satellite will not fully disappear into Earth's shadow again for nearly three years — until a rare trifecta of total lunar eclipses in 2028–29 ends the drought.
NASA’s Home for Experimental Flight Advances Aeronautics Mission
Nestled in the Mojave Desert, NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, pushes the boundaries of flight to advance the agency’s aeronautics mission. This is where Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier and engineers are now pioneering the future of high-speed, autonomous, and electrified aircraft. Armstrong contributes to NASA’s broader mission of innovation and […]
Image: First glimpse of comet 3I/ATLAS from Juice science camera
This striking image from the science camera on ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) shows interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS spewing dust and gas. The tiny nucleus of the comet (not visible) is surrounded by a bright halo of gas known as the coma. A long tail stretches away from the comet, and we see hints of rays, jets, streams, and filaments.
NASA Adds Mission to Artemis Lunar Program, Updates Architecture
As part of a Golden Age of exploration and discovery, NASA announced Friday the agency is increasing its cadence of missions under the Artemis program to achieve the national objective of returning American astronauts to the Moon and establishing an enduring presence. This includes standardizing vehicle configuration, adding an additional mission in 2027, and undertaking at least one surface […]
