The crew was selected by Bezos' fiancée, journalist Lauren Sánchez, who will also be on the brief suborbital flight scheduled for this spring.

The Lunar Trailblazer orbiter's launch window opens Feb 26. It's catching a ride with Intuitive Machines IM-2 mission which is landing on the moon near the south pole. Both have instruments for looking for water.

This phenomenon known as a "planet parade," will feature Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all present at the same time along a line in the night sky on Friday, NASA says.

After weeks at the top of the Sentry list at the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, the asteroid 2024 YR4 is no longer considered a threat to Earth.

A team of astrophysicists have found flares of light in Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way.

President Trump launched the Artemis program to return U.S. astronauts to the moon for the first time since Apollo. Now, the plan could be a casualty of the cost-cutting drive overseen by Elon Musk.

During Valentine's Day weekend, northern parts of America, including Maine, may have a chance of seeing an aurora. But space weather scientists warn that the chances of this happening are slim.

Proponents of going to Mars see peril and opportunity in Elon Musk's close relationship with Trump. Experts say just getting Americans back to the moon in the near future will be challenging enough.

Over the next several weeks, astronomers will be looking closely at an asteroid called 2024 YR4 that could be as big as a football field as they try to determine how likely it is to strike Earth in 2032.

An Einstein Ring was discovered by the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope in September 2023.

A new telescope could launch as early as late February. SPHEREx will look into deep space and also search for organic molecules.

This week calls for some throwback thinking. If you can recall how Roman numerals work, you'll get at least one question correct.

An email seen by NPR says the move is to comply with a presidential order to "restore biological truth" to the government.

The Earth's Grand Canyon took millions of years to carve, but the moon's grand canyons took about ten minutes.

The odds are about 1% that the football field-sized object could hit the Earth, but that makes it the closest call in more than 20 years.
