Writers, artists, photographers and researchers share the stories behind the stories

The James Webb Space Telescope captured photos of one of the earliest supernovas ever seen using infrared technology, and creating a time lapse of the phenomena.

Photos taken by the India Space Research Organization moon orbiter Chandrayaan 2 recently show aerial images of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12's lunar landing vehicles.

Before Artemis II, NASA will send two missions to scout the surface of the lunar south pole for resources that could sustain human space travel and enable new scientific discoveries.

Astronomy is a bright spot amid turbulence on Earth

The road ahead will be even more scientifically intriguing, and probably somewhat easier-going, now that the six-wheeler has completed its long climb to the

Diana Oglesby's love for NASA began long before she started working for the agency. A native of Decatur, Texas, Oglesby knew at the age of eight that she

Scientists are sending stem cells into orbit where the forces of gravity won't interfere with how they cells proliferate and assemble into small organ-like clusters.

The U.S. still dominates in space, but China's star is rising. As the country's latest crewed launch highlights a rapidly advancing space program, some say China is catching up.

China says all systems are ready to launch the next crew to its orbiting space station on the latest mission to make the country a major space power

Astronomers observed ancient quasars that appear to be surprisingly alone in the early universe. The findings challenge physicists' understanding of how such luminous objects could have formed so early on in the universe, without a significant source of surrounding matter to fuel their growth.

China has made great strides in exploring space in recent years, rocketing astronauts to its own space station and bringing back rocks from the moon

CubeSats make it affordable for universities and private companies to launch a satellite into space.

Two proposals for missions to observe X-ray and far-infrared wavelengths of light from space were selected by NASA for additional review, the agency announced

NASA's most distant spacecraft had a critical thruster problem far from home. Fixing it required a long-distance call to overcome extreme cold and dwindling power.
