According to analysis by NASA, Earth's average temperature in 2022 tied with 2015 as our planet's warmest on record. Global temps in 2022 were 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit (0.89 Celsius) above average for the baseline period, 1951-1980. NASA…

NASA's InSight mission has ended after more than four years of collecting unique science on Mars. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California eventually could no longer contact NASA's InSight Mars lander. NASA had…

Rice University astronomers reviewed the first images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and saw telltale signs from two dozen previously unseen young stars approximately 7,500 light years from Earth. The published research provides…

NASA's Biological and Physical Sciences Division sponsored a team that developed the Flow Boiling and Condensation Experiment (FBCE). It enables a two-phase fluid flow and heat transfer experiment on the ISS in the long-duration…

It wasn't an action film featuring a kamikaze mission, smashing a spacecraft into a stadium-sized asteroid, and resetting its orbit last September. It was NASA’s DART mission and the first test of a planetary defense strategy. MIT…

The James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope captured views of a unique NASA experiment designed to intentionally smash a spacecraft into a small asteroid in the world's first-ever in-space test for planetary defense.…

The red supergiant Betelgeuse is as troublesome as Michael Keaton's rambunctious spirit in the 1988 hit: Beetlejuice. In 2019, Betelgeuse ejected a substantial amount of its surface into space in a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) 400 billion…

Astronomers announced a compact "one of a kind" system of three stars earlier this year. The star system consists of a binary set of stars (two stars that orbit one another) with a more massive star orbiting the binary. The orbital period…

An F-104 Starfighter (hopefully named after the 1984 movie, the Last Starfighter or the Star Wars spacecraft) kicked off the grand opening of Gateway™: The Deep Space Launch Complex at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on the 15th.…

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope uncovered a companion star previously hidden in the glare of its partner's supernova. The discovery marks the first time astronomers have found a supernova without evidence of the star's atmosphere in its…
