NASA successfully reconnected with Voyager 1 after an unexpected communication disruption caused by a shutdown of the spacecraft’s primary transmitter. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California pinpointed the cause as Voyager’s fault protection system, which manages power by shutting down non-essential systems. With a second...

Satellites are providing critical evidence for the climate crisis. With the highest global temperatures recorded in 2024 and sea levels rising consistently for 30 years, satellite data points to a clear climate crisis. This data helps scientists track environmental changes, making it crucial for informing policymakers and guiding global responses t...

This is the first time hip-hop has been transmitted into orbit. Until now, the system had only sent one other song into space.

Astronomers have rediscovered the significance of an extraordinary finding from over a decade ago: the largest and farthest reservoir of water in the universe, dating back 12 billion years.

NASA reports that the spacecraft, currently situated 15 billion miles away from our planet, is experiencing a communications glitch.

"From getting my PhD at MIT to knocking 100s of doors to get hired full-time at NASA, nothing came easy," Dr Akshata Krishnamurthy said.

Researchers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory were involved in the study. They are unsure what is causing this speeding up of the Mars' rotation.

On Mars, a rock that resembles an open book with a page turning in the middle has been discovered.

It is no secret that asteroids are whizzing through space, some of which are getting a little too close to the Earth.

It is designed as such so that it can reach the surface of Enceladus, one of Saturn's 83 moons, and examine its icy features.

The 150-foot-wide rock which is hurtling towards Earth at a speed of 67656 kmph will make its closest approach to Earth at a distance of 4,190,000 km.

Asteroid 2023 DW has 10 predicted close approaches to Earth, with the nearest landing on February 14, 2046.

On February 3, the asteroid came quite close to Earth before leaving at a safe distance of 1.1 million miles (1.8 million kilometers).

NASA has formally retired its Mars InSight lander, the first robotic probe specially designed to study the deep interior of a distant world, four years after it arrived on the surface of the red planet, the US space agency announced on Wednesday. Mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Los Angeles determined the mission ...

NASA’s recent study led by researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has revealed that Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice. This raises new concern about how fast climate change is weakening Antarctica's floating ice shelves and accelerating the rise of global sea...
