Want to keep your eye on the sky in 2025? Here's a look at the best space launches you can watch from the comfort of home.

Mummy aroma may provide insight into social class and historical period, according to a team of trained mummy sniffers

Intuitive Machines' Athena moon lander will deploy two small rovers, a rocket-powered "hopper," and use a powerful drill to probe the lunar surface.

Searching for small fossils in big rocks requires specialized tools --tools that scientists could also use to look for evidence of life on Mars in rocks that may be similar on both planets.

The next set of NASA science and technology demonstrations is on its way to the lunar surface, where they will gather data about Earth's nearest neighbor and

NASA's Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1 (PRIME-1) is preparing to explore the Moon's subsurface and analyze where lunar resources may reside. The

For the second time, Intuitive Machines will launch a lunar lander to deliver NASA technology demonstrations and science investigations to the Moon for the

Blue Ghost and New Glenn started off the year right. Many more launches are on the way, and many can be watched online.

Clinical utility of the FDA-approved test isn't clear, researchers say

Elevated risk of IBD for people exposed to environmental pollutants in the prior decade

Matthew Kowalewski describes himself as "curious about too many things," but that curiosity comes in handy when engineering instrumentation scheduled to soar through the atmosphere of a moon of Saturn.

A new analysis of 'time capsule' moon samples brought back to Earth by Apollo 16 shows how the surface of the moon has changed over billions of years. The post 'Time capsule' moon samples reveal moon's history first appeared on EarthSky.

Soil-like pebbles in moon samples brought home by Apollo 16 astronauts have revealed new details about lunar history.

Minuscule meteoroids slamming into the lunar surface could be kicking up most of the atoms that make up the lunar exosphere.

Researchers at the University of Dundee have revealed in the greatest detail yet the workings of molecules called protein degraders which can be deployed to combat what have previously been regarded as "undruggable" diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.

Researchers at Auburn University, in collaboration with scientists from the University of Basel and ETH Zurich, have made an advance in the fight against cancer. The team, led by Dr. Rafael Bernardi, Associate Professor of Biophysics in the Department of Physics, has developed a novel approach integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with molecular dynamics simulations and network analysis to enhance the prediction…

In a groundbreaking exploration of cell surface biology, Ryan Flynn has uncovered a surprising role for RNA outside the confines of the cell. Flynn's research, which focuses on the biology of cell surface RNA, led to the discovery that certain RNAs are chemically linked to glycans—complex carbohydrate polymers found on the cell surface.

"It's not easy to ever raise for an asteroid mining company, right?"

Analysis of ruthenium isotopes showed the impactor was a carbonaceous-type asteroid.

Earth planning date: Monday, Aug. 12, 2024 The SAM EGA over the weekend was successful, and that means we're well on our way to planning the GCMS (Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometry) on our "Kings Canyon" drill sample! GCMS is an energy-intensive activity, so we'll be using today's two-sol plan mainly for recharging our battery and […]
