Using datasets from Hubble Space Telescope and ESA's Gaia satellite, researchers measured the movement of stars within Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy.

The new spy satellite will reportedly be developed using ghost quantum imaging, allowing Beijing to spot and track currently invisible targets from space.

Large galaxies like our own need to constantly eat smaller galaxies to fuel themselves and ensure they don't die out.

Special pads placed outside the hull of the ISS was found to have bacteria and other living organisms that were not of Earth.

Japan wants to be part of the "Deep Space Gateway" project and join the US and Russia in building a space station near the Moon.

Both Einstein's theories and Newton's laws work in a universe that does not have dark matter and dark energy, says researcher.

Nasa is working with a group of five high school and college students in a bid to improve virtual reality technologies.

From the odd cigar-shaped interstellar asteroid to the mysterious object shooting across the Heathrow airport – these are the best space stories of the week.

In December, a 5km-wide asteroid is expected to fly past the Earth, accompanied by the Geminids meteor shower.

The InSight mission was initially scheduled to launch last year, however, it was postponed due to a leaky container.

Instead of yielding expected energy savings, the "lighting revolution" is destroying the night skies.

Scientists, for a while now, have tried to find an answer to how the Moon developed a crust composed of just one mineral.

The final shot was created from a series of images taken when Cassini spacecraft was approximately 1.1 million kilometres from Saturn.

The AI-backed drone uses cameras to track its position and matches it with a pre-loaded map to move around and avoid obstacles.

Budweiser says the barley it sends to the ISS will remain aboard for a month, before it makes its way back to the Earth to be analysed further.

The 'falling star' came close to hitting a passenger jet as it approached its landing at Heathrow airport.

The telescope will be launched into space by European Space Agency's Ariane 5 rocket sometime between March and June 2019.

The rocket booster will take him up to an altitude of 1,800ft at speeds of around 500mph.

The shower involves real material coming down from orbit and burning in the atmosphere.

When particles travelling at high speeds hit the atmosphere, biological matter can get knocked out into space and travel to other worlds. Is this how life arrived on Earth?

The dark streaks, technically dubbed Recurring Slope Lineae, are mostly found on rocky slopes in dark regions of Mars.

Astronomers say that the alien object, named Oumuamua is like nothing that has ever been seen before.

A space race is emerging among governments and private enterprises across the world who are eager to explore our only permanent natural satellite.

Jupiter is a planet that is known for its size and the Great Red Spot. Here are a few more of its features that are worth knowing about.

Scientists believe that it is possible to reach Alpha Centauri, our nearest star, with space probes travelling at a quarter of the speed of light.

Exoplanet 55 Cancri e is located around 40-light years away from us and is twice as big as the Earth.

The tiny planet is chilled at -203 degrees Celsius, which is way lower than what was initially noted through instruments on Earth.

The JPSS-1 will orbit Earth 14 times a day from pole to pole, making detailed readings of weather, temperature and other long term patterns.

The Earth is being hit by a massive amount of anti-matter called positrons, but scientists are still to discover the source of the particles.
