According to new research that was presented at the 2018 Goldschmidt Conference, "water worlds" may be more common than previously thought.

A team of American scientists have found the first definitive evidence of water on the Moon, which makes plans for a lunar base that much more feasible!

Watching the heavens on a nightly, or even casual basis? The web and modern technology has certainly altered the landscape of modern astronomy, (mostly) for the better. Once, we all huddled around cardboard planispheres, illuminated by red flashlights; now, it's now a common sight to see illuminated smartphone apps accompanying telescopes at star parties, all waving skyward with virtual planetarium programs guiding users around the night sky.

As part of their plan to establish an "international lunar village" on the Moon in the coming decades, the ESA is experimenting with making bricks out of lunar dust simulants.

According to a new study by a Canadian-led team of researchers, the atmospheric phenomena known as STEVE is not an aurora, but something else entirely.

A new study by an international team of researchers indicates that "mini-moons" will soon be detectable, and could provide opportunities for research and asteroid mining.

Lockheed Martin recently provided a first-look at the space habitat they are designing, as part of NASA's program to return astronauts to the Moon and sending crewed missions to Mars.

According to a new study by an international team of researchers, a good way to look for signs on life on exoplanets would be toe examine the ejected material of asteroid impacts.

Using the Subaru Telescope, a team of astronomers recently probed a 500 light-year region of the early Universe and found that it contained less galaxies than they were expecting.

A periodic comet may put on a fine show for northern hemisphere viewers over the next few months. Comet 21/P Giacobini-Zinner is currently a fine binocular comet shining at +8th magnitude and cruising across the constellation Cassiopeia. This places it above the horizon for the entire night for observers north of the equator in August, transiting the local meridian at local dawn.

A new study by a team from the University of Pennsylvania suggests using maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) to find evidence of extra-solar Oort Clouds (EXOCs).

A team from the University of Manchester recently tested their prototype for a spinning heat shield, a lightweight, compact design that could provide cost-effective protection for future space missions.

The Parker Solar Probe, which will spend the next seven years getting closer to the Sun than any previous mission, recently launched from Cape Canaveral.

The Martian dust storm that has been raging for months finally appears to be subsiding, though it will still be some time before contact can be reestablished with Opportunity.

Before commencing its mission to find exoplanets, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite took some impressive images of a comet in our Solar System.

170 years after the star Eta Carinae erupted and became the second brightest star in the galaxy, astronomers now have a theory for what caused this.

In a new study, a team from Caltech recently used the Very Large Array to confirm that a rogue planet just 20 light years away is on the cusp between being a planet and a brown dwarf
