Plate tectonics give Earth its mountains, earthquakes, continental drift and maybe even helped give rise to life itself. But ...

A near-Earth object was likely ejected into space after an impact thousands of years ago. Now it could contribute new ...

A team of engineers is advancing space innovation by developing a groundbreaking machine to produce oxygen on the moon. The ...

A small asteroid named 2024 PT5, once hailed as Earth's temporary second moon, might have originated from our very own Moon.

Researchers from the University of Gottingen and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research have now revealed it could have formed from material ejected from the Earth's mantle.

Winds circling a gas giant more than 500 light years from Earth have been detected flowing at supersonic speeds approaching 33,000 kilometers (20,000 miles) per hour, making them the fastest air ...

Splat! A meteorite impact recorded by a doorbell camera gave scientists a rare view of a space rock at the moment it hit Earth. The sound is like shattering glass.

Space exploration is no longer the domain of countries alone. It’s now rapidly becoming the domain of private interests.

Because the period of an object does not depend on its mass, comets’ orbital periods remain unchanged due to mass loss.

Exponential growth in big data and computing power is transforming climate science, where machine learning is playing a critical role in mapping the physics of our changing climate.
