NASA's Artemis II crew will lift off no earlier than April 1 at 6:24 p.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center. Here's the timeline, who’s on board, where to watch and the technical tens…
NASA is preparing to launch Artemis II on April 1, sending four astronauts around the Moon for the first time since Apollo. A wet dress rehearsal, new cockpit software, and a clas…
A Los Angeles company has taken an audacious concept — bagging and towing a 100‑ton asteroid into cislunar space — from drawing board to orbital tests. The plan mixes lightweight …
On March 17, 1958, the U.S. launched Vanguard 1, a 1.5 kg solar-powered sphere that became the oldest human-made object in orbit. The mission tested early rocket hardware and, thr…
On March 13, 1781, William Herschel announced a new world — the first planet found with a telescope. The discovery expanded the known solar system and set off debates over naming,…
NASA's Van Allen Probe A plunged back into Earth's atmosphere this week years earlier than planned after solar-driven drag accelerated its decay. Officials say most of the 1,323-p…
New Webb observations have ruled out a previously feared collision of asteroid 2024 YR4 with the Moon. Here’s what scientists found, what would have happened if it struck, and why…
NASA has set an April 1 launch opportunity for Artemis II but the date depends on repairs to the SLS upper stage and a successful wet dress rehearsal. Here’s what the remaining wo…
SpaceX has delayed Starship flight 12 again; Elon Musk now targets early April for the debut of the upgraded Version 3 after additional testing and prep at Starbase.
NASA warns that the 1,300-pound Van Allen Probe A is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere today after intensified solar activity accelerated its orbital decay. The agency says …
A new Science Advances study confirms NASA’s DART impact in 2022 produced the first measurable change to an asteroid pair’s orbit around the Sun, demonstrating kinetic impact as a…
Six planets will form a rare arc in the sky on Feb. 28; learn when to look, which worlds you can actually see, and how to get the best view from your location.
Data this week show interstellar comet 3I/Atlas slowed to near‑stop about 27 million km from Mars, forcing scientists to re-evaluate non‑gravitational forces and orbital models us…
NASA has named 6 March 2026 as the earliest possible launch for Artemis II, the first crewed lunar flyby in over 50 years. The 10-day mission will test Orion and SLS systems, carr…
How Black women mathematicians working in segregated NASA labs programmed Orion-era triumphs — and reshaped STEM careers. A historic look at Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Ma…
Arianespace launched the Ariane 64 — Europe’s most powerful rocket — on 12 February 2026, lofting 32 Amazon Leo broadband satellites to low Earth orbit. The mission demonstrated f…
