Off-world agriculture has long seemed experimental, but that could soon change thanks to a collaboration between design firm Heatherwick Studio and the space architecture nonprofit Aurelia Institute.
Unlike in recent tests, SpaceX’s ninth Starship survived launch, but a fuel tank leak meant it lost control before it could complete its objectives.
Based on 20 years of observations by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, new research sheds light on one of the solar system’s most mysterious planets.
Galactic bones, filaments of radio-wave-emitting particles, run through our galaxy, and one of them has a fracture. New analysis suggests collision with a neutron star may have caused it.
On Earth there is no record of Niallia tiangongensis, a bacterium found aboard the Tiangong station that appears to be well adapted to conditions there.
The next Starship launch may come as soon as next week. A test of its Raptor engines suggests SpaceX has resolved the issues that plagued its recent flights.
Products made in space—and used on Earth—could be a reality in the coming years.
New data from the James Webb Space Telescope suggests a planet in a faraway solar system was consumed by a star by hurling itself into it.
A rock containing many smaller round stones could indicate that there was once a large amount of liquid water on the Red Planet.
By understanding the churning region near singularities, physicists hope they might be able to reconcile gravity and quantum mechanics.
