Taken the High Line Park? Now you can try the undergound Low Line, at least if a NASA and Google pair get their way.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) science team has released the highest resolution near-global topographic map of the Moon ever created.

But as Janet Kavandi, NASA flight crew operations director, said,” The experience is well worth the wait.”

NASA announced today it would be taking applications for anyone who would like to be launched out of Earth's gravitational hold and explore the mysteries of space. The space agency is looking for people with a background in engineering, sciences or math and three years of relevant professional experience. The job requires frequent travel.

NASA is at the final stages of preparation for the launch of its most advanced Mars Rover that is set for take- off from Florida's Space Coast next week.

The sun's abundant energy, if harvested in space, could provide a cost-effective way to meet global power needs in as little as 30 years with seed money from governments, according to a study by an international scientific group.

NASA is preparing to launch its largest and most advanced Mars rover at the end of the month. It will spend nearly two years examining areas of the Red Planet.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered 18 dwarf galaxies showing unusually rapid stellar formations, which astronomers say may change the understanding of the ways in which galaxies form.

Following a joint investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and law enforcement agencies in Estonia and the Netherlands, an international gang who stole $14 million after hacking into at least 4 million computers in an online advertising scam has been arrested

Man landing on Mars and returning to the moon could happen sooner than some people may think. On Wednesday, NASA successfully tested a new rocket engine, the J-2X, that puts the organization on track for a new deep space launch in 2017.

U.S. Federal authorities have charged six Estonian nationals and one Russian national for engaging in a massive and sophisticated Internet fraud scheme that infected with malware more than four million computers located in over 100 countries.

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars exploration mission, Mars Express, revealed a large extinct volcano on the Martian surface that is battered and deformed.

A $14-million Internet advertising fraud scheme has been brought to a halt by a coalition of American and Estonian authorities, Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for New York's southern district, said during a Wednesday afternoon press conference in Manhattan.

Phobos-Grunt, Russia's space probe to the Martian moon Phobos, is stuck in orbit Wednesday. Officials cite equipment failure as the problem, raising new fears that the probe could release toxic fuel as it falls back towards earth, unless engineers are able to steer it back on track.

NASA officials filmed a former doomsday asteroid in what is one of shortest movies of all time: just six frames long.

Asteroid 2005 YU55 is scheduled to make its closest approach to Earth today at 3:28 p.m. PST (6:28 p.m. EST/1128 UTC).

An asteroid is going to be passing very close to Earth this week. What information will astronomers and scientists be able to glean from this rare occasion?

The White House has issued a declaration in response to a petition signed by more than 5000 people, stating that the government has no evidence of extraterrestrial life existing outside earth.

On Tuesday night, astronomers and sky-watchers may get a rare glimpse of an asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier. The behemoth is expected to fly by at a distance closer than that between the Earth and the moon.

In a response to an online petition, the White House shot down the popular notion that the U.S. government is covering up the existence of extraterrestrial life.

A group of scientists working with NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has found a very powerful, fast rotating star that is far younger than others of its type previously discovered.
