The intention of the mission with ASTERIA was to see whether it can perform fine pointing control.
A group of astronomers was able to film a black hole shooting jets of cosmic material into space. The astronomers noted that the materials in the jets came from a nearby star that the black hole is slowly devouring.
An asteroid almost as big as a building is expected to approach Earth on Wednesday (June 3). According to NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the incoming asteroid will cross the planet’s path during its upcoming visit.
Researchers created an index that provides a detailed map of the possible locations of water ice on the Moon. According to the researchers, companies can refer to the map for future mining operations on the lunar surface.
NASA confirmed that the Sun recently emitted its most powerful solar flare since 2017. According to scientists, the latest emission could indicate that the Sun’s solar minimum period has officially ended.
A new study claimed that the invisible, mysterious cosmic structures known as Fermi Bubbles were created by a powerful blast triggered by the Milky Way Galaxy’s central supermassive black hole. The authors of the study believe this event happened millions of years ago.
NASA’s asteroid tracking system has detected four near-Earth objects that will fly past the planet on Tuesday (June 2). One of the incoming asteroids will approach Earth from a distance that’s almost equivalent to that between the planet and the Moon.
NASA’s automated asteroid tracking system is currently monitoring two asteroids that are expected to fly past Earth on Monday (June 1). Based on the data collected by the agency, the approaching asteroids are not in danger of colliding with Earth during their upcoming visit.
China revealed that it is planning to build and complete its own orbiting space station in two years.
Before making history as one of the first humans to fly to space using SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule, NASA astronaut Bob Behnken launched his own rocket.
NASA is currently monitoring three asteroids that are expected to fly past Earth on Friday.
A new study claims that the potentially hazardous near-Earth objects Bennu and Ryugu came from the same parent asteroid.
Astronomers came across a new type of cosmic explosion that has the combined features of some of the most powerful outbursts in the universe.
The approaching comet known as SWAN is about to reach its closest distance from the Sun.

A team of astronomers recently investigated the evidence pointing to the existence of Planet Nine. After carrying out their study, the astronomers concluded that Planet Nine might not exist at all.
A team of researchers has proposed a new method that they believe could solve the worsening space junk problem outside Earth. According to the researchers, their suggestion would make companies and agencies be more careful and responsible when it comes to launching satellites into space.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has entered a new partnership to build a service module that will land astronauts on the Moon. It will be used for NASA's upcoming lunar mission under its Artemis spaceflight program.
NASA is currently monitoring three near-Earth asteroids that are expected to fly past the planet on Wednesday (May 27). According to the data, one of the approaching space rocks is about as big as a building.
A storm chaser was able to snap rare photos of sprites in the sky that resemble a giant jellyfish. According to a space weather forecasting site, the sprites probably became more prominent due to the current solar minimum conditions.
NASA recently shared a stunning photo captured by its Chandra X-ray Observatory. It shows a black hole 100 times more massive than the Sun emitting high-energy jets of particles across its home galaxy.
