The Latest Breaking News from NASA

The unexpected 2020 collapse of the Arecibo Observatory left NASA's Goldstone Solar System Radar as the new heavy hitter when it comes to finding and studying asteroids.

NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft captured a thermal image of Mars during a gravity-assist flyby, testing instruments ahead of its mission to explore Jupiter’s ocean moon Europa.

An abrupt change in Antarctica has caused the continent to gain ice. But this increase, documented in NASA satellite data, is a temporary anomaly rather than an indication that global warming has reversed, scientists say.

A new memorandum has firmed up China and Russia's intent to lead the construction of a new lunar base to be completed by 2036, as NASA talks about scaling back its own lunar ambitions.

China’s Tianwen-2 asteroid sample return mission is set to launch this month, May 2025, en route to the asteroid Kamoʻoalewa (2016 HO3). The country could join the United States and Japan, whose space agencies have both successfully retrieved a sample from an asteroid to study back on Earth.

The White House says NASA's Mars Sample Return mission is a waste of money, but experts say the mission could help it achieve its goal of putting humans on Mars.

New data from space telescopes has been transformed into cosmic soundscapes, turning the mysterious activity around black holes into a symphony of the universe.

By studying seismic waves, researchers have found a layer deep beneath the surface of Mars that could contain enough liquid water to flood the planet with an ocean thousands of feet deep.

A new study offers key insights into Mars' water cycle, but the findings are based on seismic data from just one region, highlighting the need for future missions to confirm the results across the planet.

The auroras glow hundreds of times brighter than the Northern Lights

The James Webb Space Telescope has turned its infrared eyes toward Jupiter, capturing auroras hundreds of times brighter than those on Earth glowing on the gas giant's poles.
