BEIJING (AP) — China says a spacecraft carrying rocks from the far side of the moon leaves the lunar surface for journey back to Earth.
Experts working in the Tomb of Cerberus in Naples unsealed a 2,000-year-old sarcophagus—and the mummy inside was shockingly well-preserved.
Mighty Likely NASA's Perseverance Rover has found a rock on Mars that scientists believe may contain signs of ancient life on the Red Planet. As the New York Times reports, NASA researchers aren't quite ready to declare that they've found definitive biosignatures — the scientific term for "signs of life" — in the piece of ancient […]
Trapped Gases NASA has released a new visualization that shows copious amounts of carbon dioxide swirling around the Earth's atmosphere. The video shows how concentrations of the gas move across the planet, driven by wind and atmospheric circulation, from January through March 2020. The level of detail is truly astonishing, allowing us to "zoom in […]
Pinpoint Stars In 2003, when the International Space Station was a mere three years old, NASA astronaut Donald Pettit took a gorgeous picture of the Earth's atmosphere, with countless stars frozen in time in the background. But as Pettit revealed in a Reddit post earlier this week, the same photo "cannot be taken anymore" — […]

Spots found on a reddish Mars rock found by NASA's Perseverance rover have led scientists to believe the chemical reactions in the rock could have supported microbial life on the red planet billions of years ago.
After weeks of testing, NASA and Boeing officials say they better understand the issues plaguing the Starliner spacecraft, but still aren’t ready to name a return date.
Spare Seats The return date of NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who traveled to the International Space Station on board Boeing's plagued Starliner spacecraft over seven weeks ago, keeps getting pushed back. Engineers have been hard at work investigating several helium leaks that officials discovered after the pair arrived at the station, affecting […]
Last week, NASA made a shocking announcement. It would not be sending its $450 million rover, called the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER), to the Moon, where its state of the art capabilities were anticipated to uncover secrets about water ice just beneath the lunar surface. The reason, according to NASA officials, is that […]
The project, at a former coal-fired power station, will try to create a new source of clean energy.
In what some have dubbed an "internet apocalypse," activity originating on the sun's surface could cause a massive communications outage on Earth.
Freshwater blue-green algae blooms are a global phenomenon that can affect humans, pets, the environment and the economy. And as weather patterns shift, the blooms — which prefer warm, nutrient-rich water — are appearing in areas where they wouldn't commonly occur, according to one researcher.Though blooms typically show up in shallow bodies of water with temperatures above 20 C in areas of higher agricultural activity, blooms in colder and more nutrient-poor lakes have been observed more freque
The announcement comes a day after the Federal Aviation administration cleared SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket to return to space following a rare mid-flight failure earlier this month had grounded it. NASA and SpaceX will embark on their ninth crew rotation mission to the ISS, with NASA astronauts Zena Cardman, Nick Hague, Stephanie Wilson, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Gorbunov, launched aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 rocket.
NASA's $450 million lunar explorer, the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER), will not be going to the Moon. Something else will be taking its place, though — and given the costs involved, the decision is bound to raise a few eyebrows, if not serious questions about the space agency's budget situation. The rover, which […]
The Moon was formed after a collision ejected rock from the early Earth.
Climate change is driving changes in rainfall patterns across the world, scientists said in a paper published on Friday, which could also be intensifying typhoons and other tropical storms. Taiwan, the Philippines and then China were lashed by the year's most powerful typhoon this week, with schools, businesses and financial markets shut as wind speeds surged up to 227 kph (141 mph). On China's eastern coast, hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated ahead of landfall on Thursday.
