Cosmic Background Explorer

Astronomers analyzing 13 years of data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have found an unexpected and as yet unexplained feature outside of our galaxy. "It is a completely serendipitous discovery," said Alexander Kashlinsky, a cosmologist at the University of Maryland and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, who presented the research at the […]

New research suggests an unseen 'mirror world' of particles that interacts with our world only via gravity that might be the key to solving a major puzzle in cosmology today – the Hubble constant problem. The Hubble constant is the rate of expansion of...

Rodney "Hot Rod" Phillips is a former Black Disciples member featured in "The Interrupters," a documentary about felons hired to intervene in conflicts. But he wound up back in prison. "When I came home, I rededicated myself back to the work," he says. "The flame was lit."

The gamma-ray signal is found in a similar direction and with a nearly identical magnitude as another unexplained feature, one produced by some of the most energetic cosmic particles ever detected.

Kall Morris Inc. handed out a deck of cards at the Space Symposium to advertise prices the company plans to charge for grabbing space junk.

Lagrange Points are positions in space where the gravitational forces of a two body system like the Sun and the Earth produce enhanced regions of attraction and repulsion. These can be used by spacecraft to reduce fuel consumption needed to remain in position.

James Webb Space Telescope

Sneak a peek at the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day's work for the James Webb Space Telescope. (Literally! Webb was able to capture this image in less than one day, while similar deep field images from Hubble can take multiple weeks.) This is Webb's first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages/ If you held a grain of sand up to…

There have been a few momentous discoveries throughout the history of science that have literally revolutionized our understanding of the Universe. The relationship between electricity and magnetism…

Advancements in commercial satellite capabilities will enable NASA officials to transition to commercial systems to support its future near-Earth space missions.

How to make galaxies with the wrong amount of dark matter. Almost every large structure in the Universe displays a 5:1 dark matter-to-normal matter ratio. Here's how some galaxies defy that rule..
