Russia may have to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) to "rescue" its cosmonauts.

NASA's next-generation rocketship was on course Wednesday for a crewless voyage around the moon and back, launched from Florida on its debut flight half a century after the final lunar mission of the Apollo era.

According to NASA predictions, an asteroid almost as tall as the world's tallest building is set to pass perilously close to Earth on Halloween night.

The crater is the largest ever observed since the MRO began its Mars orbit 16 years ago.

A four-member SpaceX Crew Dragon team, including a Russian cosmonaut and the first Native American woman sent to orbit, safely docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday and moved aboard to begin a five-month science mission.

It is the kind of thing we see in sci-fi movies, an asteroid hurtling towards the earth and scientists coming together to save the planet from destruction.

The planet is pictured to have whitish rings that seemed shimmering and opalescent against the dark sky.

A processed picture of the Einstein Ring from the distant galaxy, J0418, made rounds in the Reddit Astronomy community.

Webb operates primarily in the infrared spectrum, because light from objects in the distant cosmos has been stretched into this wavelength over the course of the universe's expansion.

There is a 5% chance that the flare may trigger a powerful geomagnetic storm in the Earth's atmosphere

SpaceX will launch five more astronaut missions to the International Space Station for NASA at the end of the decade under a $1.4 billion contract order, the U.S.

Hotels around Cape Canaveral are booked solid with between 100,000 and 200,000 spectators expected to attend the launch.

A half century after the end of NASA's Apollo era, the U.S.

NASA's gigantic Space Launch System moon rocket, topped with an uncrewed astronaut capsule, is set to begin an hours-long crawl to its launchpad Tuesday night ahead of the behemoth's debut test flight later this month.

The moon's bright light will overpower the meteors' shine and stargazers should expect to see 10-20 meteors per hour at best, unlike last year.

Asteroid 2022 OE2 is part of the Apollo group of asteroids and is classified as a Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA).

Ceres is now being considered a chemical factory and a bona fide target for astrobiologists hunting for life beyond Earth.

The asteroid is predicted to come Thursday within around 3.2 million miles of Earth in its own orbit around the sun.

A massive ozone hole which is at least seven times larger than the Antarctic ozone hole has been found over the tropical region.

NASA wants Elon Musk's SpaceX to ensure its plan to launch its next-generation Starship rocket from Florida would not put at risk nearby launch infrastructure critical to the International Space Station, a senior space agency official told Reuters.

Rocket firm Astra Space's mission to send tiny storm-monitoring NASA satellites to orbit on Sunday failed after a second-stage booster engine shut down early in space.

At 6:54 p.m. EDT (2254 GMT) on Thursday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Starliner is set to make another attempt at launching to the space station without any astronauts aboard

Launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on April 8, they spent two weeks aboard ISS with the seven regular, government-paid crew of the space station

Earendel existed so long ago that it may not have had the same raw materials as the stars that exist today

Elon Musk's company is also developing its own deep space rocket, the fully reusable Starship

Russian space agency chief Dmitry Rogozin warned again that Western sanctions on Russia could cause the ISS to crash

Last week Russia's space chief Dmitry Rogozin raised the prospect of pulling out of the partnership in response to US sanctions

It has been more than a month since astrophysicists have been predicting that a rocket is on a collision course with the moon. Earlier, it was thought be SpaceX's Falcon 9 booster, but recent reports have claimed that it may not be some other rocket.

Plans call for a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to launch the Polaris Dawn from Kennedy Space Center

The company currently has regulatory approval for 12,000 satellites, with plans to expand even further.
