The asteroid, big enough to be classified as a protoplanet, crashed on the lunar surface four billion years ago at an angle of 30 degrees, creating a 750-mile wide crater, a new study said.

The average temperature for every month in 2016, except March, was higher than in any year since reliable record-keeping began, according to NASA.

The space agency said Monday that at least four of the 104 planets located outside our solar system have shown potential similarity to Earth.

SpaceX successfully landed its Falcon 9 rocket early Monday after launching its Dragon capsule filled with supplies for astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

The Mars 2020 rover, which NASA aims to land on the red planet in February 2021, is now ready to enter the final design and construction phase.

NASA says their astronauts don't have access to the popular smartphone app.

The new image taken when the spacecraft was 2.7 million miles from Jupiter shows the famous Great Red Spot and three of the planet’s four largest moons — Io, Europa and Ganymede.

It’s been almost a year since these dark streaks were detected on the surface of the red planet. However, the mechanism behind their formation is still far from clear.

The Expedition 48 crew members will carry out hundreds of experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science, the space agency said.

If it completes the crucial orbit insertion process on July 4, the solar-powered spacecraft will spend 18 months around the gas giant.

The black hole is a few times the mass of our Sun and it is very slowly pulling in material from a companion star.

With NASA and other international space agencies hoping to send humans to live on Mars by the 2030s, a team of scientists has managed to harvest 10 crops in soil mimicking conditions on Mars.

The agreement, signed Sunday, aims to increase collaboration between NASA and the UAE Space Agency on, among other things, exploration of Mars.

The image, captured by the spacecraft during its July flyby, shows the southeastern portion of Pluto’s great ice plains bordering dark highlands.

The 3-year-long campaign will help scientists ascertain how environmental forces affect coral reefs around the world, using state-of-the-art PRISM technology.

Jeff Bezos’ space travel company joins five others that are already part of NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program.

The prototype habitat being tested in orbit could provide living quarters one day for crews going to Mars.

Scientists may be able to use Mars as a parallel to learn more about Earth and the possibility of sending people to the red planet.

The country test launched its home-grown winged reusable launch vehicle Monday, joining Japan, Russia and Europe in the race.

The structure, which the aerospace agency wants to place in orbit around the red planet by 2028, will serve as a stepping stone for humans seeking to land on Mars.

The Dragon cargo spacecraft carried in it a large amount of scientific data collected aboard the International Space Station.
