The first science images from JWST are absolutely spectacular, but what are we seeing in them and what can learn from them? I've been at the National Astronomy Meeting at the University of Warwick all week with 500 of my fellow astronomers, and we've been...

Only four spacecraft have ever returned photographs from the surface of Venus. The Venera landers scanned the surface back and forth to create panoramic images of their surroundings. They revealed yellow skies and cracked, desolate landscapes that were b...

n a remarkable dream come true for space scientists, NASA’s James Webb Telescope has demonstrated its unprecedented capacity to analyze the atmosphere of a huge exoplanet. JWST has captured the distinct signature of water in the atmosphere surrounding a h...

A new NASA report says that the seat restraints, suits and helmets of the doomed crew of the space shuttle Columbia didn't work well, leading to 'lethal trauma' as the out-of-control ship broke apart, killing all seven astronauts. (Dec. 30)

Incredible Secret James Webb Image We Weren't Shown + A New Surprise Discovery

Is faster-than-light (FTL) travel possible? In most discussions of this, we get hung up on the physics of particular ideas, such as wormholes or warp drives. But today, we take a more zoomed out approach that addresses all FTL propulsion - as well as FTL...

NASA revealed the first five full-color images and spectrographic data from the world's most powerful space telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency), and CSA (Canadian Space Agency). The world got its first...
