A recently released video gives us an astronaut's-eye view of Virgin Galactic's second-ever commercial spaceflight, which the company aced last week.

Virgin Galactic flew its second-ever commercial mission today (Aug. 10), a flight that made history in multiple ways.

Virgin Galactic completed its first commercial flight Thursday with three passengers, each of whom paid $450,000 for a ticket.

Virgin Galactic is finally ready to begin commercial space operations, launching paying customers to the edge of space.

The 90-minute flight will bring the first Virgin Galactic commercial crew to space as the company starts planned monthly flights.

Anecdotal experience has suggested that there is a higher frequency of maxillofacial injuries among motor vehicle collisions involving moose.A retrospective cohort study design was used to investigate the incidence of various injuries resulting from moose-motor ...

The world is still reeling from the release of the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) first images. These provided a comprehensive overview of the kind of science operations that Webb will conduct over its 20-year mission. They included the most sensitive and detailed look at some iconic astronomical objects, spectra from an exoplanet atmosphere, and a deep field view of some of the most distant galaxies in the…

Analysis of the pulse profile of a fast radio burst showed sub-second periodicity, providing evidence for a neutron-star origin of the event and favouring emission arising from the magnetosphere.

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have detected the magnetic field of a galaxy so far away that its light has taken more than 11 billion years to reach us: we see it as it was when the Universe was just 2.5 billion years old. The result provides astronomers with vital clues about how the magnetic fields of galaxies like our own Milky Way came to be.

Virgin Galactic will start commercial spaceflight service as soon as June 27th..
