The sun's surface is surrounded by a magnetic field that acts as a barrier to stop massive solar eruptions known as coronal mass ejections.

New research revealed that water on the moon is more widespread and immobile than previously thought.

The Nasa-backed project could ultimately improve efficiency of the astronauts on deep-space missions.

Scientists used Nasa's Hubble telescope to make the most precise measurements of the Universe's expansion rate till date.

The seven-year-long work on the system shows that West Antarctic ice sheets are melting at a rapid rate.

The first mission of the vehicle will be an uncrewed flight to the far side of the moon sometime in 2020.

Nasa spent eight years modifying a structure that took only two years to build.

Victor Buso was testing a new telescope camera mounted on the top of his home when he made the unique discovery.

The storm – the largest in the solar system – is about to calm down and will eventually cease to exist.

Astronauts can live in the suit for six days without taking it off. Food and waste will remain in the suit.

Cassini was more than 600,000km away from Saturn when the images for the mosaic were taken.

The spacecraft's original mission was just for two years and has seen five extensions.

The wide-angle image taken by Juno shows the northern area of Jupiter's north temperate belt and cloud formations swirling over it.

The giant void is a supermassive black hole located at the centre of spiral galaxy M77.

Nasa planned a 90-day long mission for the rover in 2004 but Opportunity denied giving up and is still doing a great job on the Red Planet.

If nuclear war wipes out communications, the AEHF satellites will continue to work for the US government.

The car has been marked as a 'Near Earth Object' by Nasa and is now moving towards the asteroid belt.

The features looked very similar to formations found on volcanic slopes in Hawaii, according to the space agency.

Researchers have analysed news of potential alien life discovery to understand the reaction of the human race.

Till date, scientists thought that black holes in distant galaxies grew in tandem with stars.

The spacecraft was travelling at 19,000 miles per hour when it took the spectacular cosmic photo.

When it first appeared, the whole thing was big enough to stretch across the Atlantic Ocean from Boston to Portugal but now it is way smaller.

Thanks to Kepler, we now know that planets around other stars are the rule rather than the exception.

The Tesla is headed for an orbit between Mars and the asteroid belt.

The spiral galaxy's swirling arms are where new stars are born, whose high temperatures make them shine a bright blue.

The 70-pound meteorite looks like an ellipsoid cosmic sculpture with "numerous sockets and perforations".

GPU manufacturers are scrambling to deal with rapidly rising demand for graphics cards.

The two galaxies are moving towards each other and will collide after some four billion years.

SpaceX has an installed capacity to build about 400 rocket engines per year, that is, over 100 launches by 2020.
