The James Webb telescope just detected carbon dioxide on this Galilean satellite, one of the nearby worlds studied for extraterrestrial life

As SpaceX prepares a new launch of its Starship super rocket, an unknown Chinese company named LandSpace has beaten it to the punch and put an all-methane space shuttle into orbit

In the past, the zero meridian used to be established coinciding with the last known land, beyond which there was only unexplored ocean

The Russian ‘Luna-25,’ which is heading towards the south pole of the Moon, is the first in a series of probes from several countries that will explore its surface in the coming years

Four planetary probes were launched in the 1970s, carrying information about Earth. This was in case – in the very distant future – they were to fall into the hands of an extraterrestrial civilization

On July 21, a human error caused a slight disorientation of the main antenna of the veteran spacecraft, which is beyond the Solar System and could be cut off from Earth until October

SpaceX engineers are facing a serious problem that will have an immediate impact on the U.S. space agency’s plans to send astronauts back to the Moon in 2025

The powerful SpaceX spacecraft, capable of going to the Moon and Mars, exploded when its two modules attempted to separate

With nearly a quarter century of history behind it, the international space station probably won’t make it into the next decade

A new project known as the Habitable World Observatory aims to better understand near-Earth exoplanets and study those that could support life

As soon as the last stage of the rocket was shut down, 10 small satellites were ejected. Some of them have failed to reach their destinations, but most are still active

The NASA capsule traveled nearly 270,000 miles from Earth on its trip to the Moon, a greater distance than the Apollo 13 program achieved in 1970

The new, joint US-EU space program is going back to the Moon

The impact of the 600-kilogram device was equivalent to two and a half tons of dynamite, sending tons of debris into space that now forms a 10,000 km tail

The NASA probe will photograph the satellite, which researchers believe could be capable of supporting life

The Didymos-Dimorphos system moves like clockwork and telescopes will be able to observe changes in orbital frequency to determine if NASA altered it.

The space probe has taken an even more detailed image of the orb, which is 28 billion light-years from Earth

At the time of the space race between superpowers, the spy agency managed to get hold of a crucial Russian device for a few hours

Half a century ago, the U.S. agency succeeded in recovering the K-129, sunk at 5,000 meters, an achievement both from a technical point of view and for keeping the operation secret

A planet known as WASP 96B is the closest to Earth, while the galaxy cluster Stephan’s Quintet is located 300 million light-years away

The photo shows what appears to be thousands of stars, but they are in fact galaxies as they appeared 4.6 billion years ago

A memo leaked to the press details the agency’s plans to “reconquer” space

The first efforts to peek beyond the Iron Curtain date back to the late 1940s. Since then, the technology has made significant advances, with military devices able to spot a soccer ball from an altitude of 200 kilometers

The NASA space telescope has transmitted its inaugural images, taken with the aim of starting to correctly align its 18 mirrors

Questions and answers about the work that the ‘companion’ of ‘Perseverance’ will be carrying out, and which is due to take its maiden flight in the coming days
